How can I increase the bullet size in a li?

问题

The bullets in IE8 are so small, I tried changing the font-size, but that didn't work. Code:

<ul style="padding:0; margin:0; margin-left:20px;">
    <li>item 1</li>
    <li>item 2</li>
</ul>

Is there any way to do this without using an image for the bullet?

回答1:

You could do this in an IE8 conditional comment...

ul {
   list-style: none;
}

ul li:before {
   content: "•";
   font-size: 170%; /* or whatever */
   padding-right: 5px;
}

jsFiddle.

In IE7, you could prepend the bullet via JavaScript and style it accordingly.

Internet Explorer doesn't seem to natively support sizing of the bullets from list-style-type with font-size as Firefox and Chrome appear to. I do not know if this is a known problem or bug.

There are workarounds, but sometimes an image is the quickest and more widely supported "fix".

IE8+ does scale the bullets but not for every font size.
My fix is based on the fact the bullets for Verdana are larger than for Arial. I use css to set Verdana for li, at the same time I add extra spans around li's contents to keep the original font. Also, as Verdana can makes the lines higher, I may need to use line-height to make up for that, but that depends on the browser.
Also I can use bigger font size for li to make the bullets even larger, then I'll have to use still smaller line-height.

ul {
    font: 12px Arial;
}
ul li {
    font-family: Verdana;
    line-height: 120%;
} /* font-size: 14px; line-height: 100%; */
ul li span {
    font: 12px Arial;
}

<ul>
    <li><span>item 1</span>
    <li><span>item 2</span>
</ul>
