Here's the code I'm working with:
.firstBullet {
display: list-item;
list-style-type: disc;
list-style-position: inside;
}
For some reason, I am not able to display black discs, they consistently pick up the color of the text.
How do I fix this before I go absolutely nuts?
Thanks!

I've included a snippet of HTML
<td><span class="bodystyle"><a href="2.6.2CreateTrainingPlan.html" target="_self" class="firstBullet">2.6.2

</tr>
Here's my CSS. Please keep in mind that I'm a noobee! I'm feeling embarrased! :oops:

Unordered List Disc Colors
They are the colour of the text - that's the idea
To change them, place your text in another element, div or span, depending on its content.
e.g.
li { color: black; }
.li { color: blue; }
<ul>
<li><div class="li">this is my list</div></li>
<li><div class="li">this is my list</div></li>
<li><div class="li">this is my list</div></li>
</ul>

Thanks! I'll give that a try...

Why div's?
Wouldn't a span tag be appropriate here? Aren't div's used for structure and span for inline elements?
li { color: black; }
.li { color: blue; }
<ul>
<li><span class="li">this is my list</span></li>
<li><span class="li">this is my list</span></li>
<li><span class="li">this is my list</span></li>
</ul>
Just asking...

My post said to use <DIV> or <SPAN> as required by the content. An <LI> can contain block elements. For those cases, a <SPAN> is inappropriate. If its only text, images and/or form controls, a <SPAN> will suffice.

And without the html to review, we don't know what the correct answer is.
Thanks for the clarification.

The point is, it is better to show us the code now and get help than struggling on. After all if we can't see the code now, we can read it later when the site goes live. 
What smell? that wasn't me

I absolutely do value your help! Otherwise, why would I bother to even post a question. My problem stems from my employer...I am not allowed to post anything to public places. Sorry if that seems wrong somehow...it's my reality.

In this case it seems to have been fixed without seeing the code?
Did Chris' solution work for you or not?

that's a good idea. as I mentioned in my first post, I am rather new to all this, including posting to public boards.

We were all at that point once. Fortunately, my early experience predates the internet, which is why I am so perfect now.
