Hello,

Is there a way to format an ordered/unordered list through css so the result looks like this

A) item 1
B) item 2
C) item 3
etc.

Thanks

Hey RCorr,

I've never even tried it myself but what'dya know!

If you apply this to your list(probaly with a more specific selector) then it'll go through the alphabet, and once it hits 26 you'll get double letters, so aa, ab, ac, etc :)

li {

list-style-type: lower-latin;

}

OR if you wanted it all in capitals instead of lower case, use this:

li {
list-style-type: upper-latin;
}

Enjoy! 

If you want to learn some more HTML, CSS or even the basics of JavaScript -
