BUG: DhBulletedList.setBackColor() Does Not Color the Bullets (197570)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual J++ 6.0
This article was previously published under Q197570

SYMPTOMS

When you use DhBulletedList.setBackColor() in an ordered list, DhBulletedList.setBackColor() does not set the background color of the bullets.

CAUSE

Internet Explorer does not color bullets when the <OL> tag has a background- color style set. For example, the following HTML fragment displays "A" and "B" with red text on a white background, and Item 1 and Item 2 appear as red text on blue background: 

   <OL style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #0000ff; COLOR: #ff0000" type=A>
   <LI>Item 1</LI>
   <LI>Item 2</LI>
   </OL>

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
