I’m using the Nearly Sprung theme as well, and have a problem getting Ordered Lists to display properly in IE 6. I see that your site has the same problem. An ordered lists displays only using 1. for every item – the problem is compounded when your line wraps and the number gets pushed down to the next line.

Any ideas for a fix? I’ve posted this question to the theme owner but received no response.

I’m checking this now, with the following ordered list

1. first item
2. second item
3. third item

and indeed when it’s viewed on IE6, each item is prefixed with “1″. In reading up about this, I have found these links here and here, but neither of them have (yet) given me any ideas about fixing the problem.

In honesty, my initial one word reply would have been “IE7″ but dammit, I just checked and it’s a bug in IE7 as well. I’d say “Firefox,” or “Opera” but I do realize that some people have irrational or forced attachments to IE…

Still poking at it…
