In MSIE 8 beta, <ul> list item bullets are displayed as black squares instead of the cyan squares we expect. This may be a bug in our styles, or it may be an upstream issue.
That probably means that the list-style-image is not loaded and the list-style-type default is used instead.
Created attachment 4715 [details] HTML test case -- with XHTML transitional doctype Looks like list-style-image is ignored when the doctype puts it into standards mode. :P Here's a copy with the doctype...
Created attachment 4716 [details] Test case without doctype ...and a copy without the doctype, which renders correctly.
The new rendering engine only kicks in for standards mode, I think. Someone apparently from MS (?) says that list-style-image support is a known bug: http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2008/03/ie8_beta_1_firs.html
Both attached tests render fine with beta2. With or without compatibility mode. Assuming it will be fixed in final too.
