Css Override question

Arm Brahaj

Sorry for asking such a direct question, but it is driving me crazy this css override.

I have the following generated code under a label: 

<div class="v-label v-label-wikiarticle wikiarticle" style="height: 400px; width: 1288px; "><h1>Title</h1>
<ul>
<li>test</li>
<li>test</li>
<li>test</li>
<li>test</li>
</ul>
</div>

How can I override the default li style-type which is set to none!?
I am trying with

div .wikiarticle .v-label-wikiarticle {list-style-type: square;}

.v-label .v-label-wikiarticle .wikiarticle ul li  {list-style-type: square;}

or other combinations, but it is just not working!

This should work - simplest is usually best

.wikiarticle ul li {
  list-style-type: square;
}

Cheers,

Charles

Hello Charles,
Thx for the reply.
I have tried that one as well... it did not work! :(

Well, I just copied the HTML snippet you provided into an HTML document and it did work, so something's not quite right here.

Are you using Chrome? It's *very* aggressive at caching CSS... try flushing the cache (Ctrl + Refresh)

Here's the HTML I used to test my CSS suggestion, andd attached is the result.

<html>
<head>
  <style type="text/css">
    .wikiarticle ul li {
      color:red;
      list-style-type: square;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="v-label v-label-wikiarticle wikiarticle" style="height: 400px; width: 1288px; "><h1>Title</h1>
  <ul>
    <li>test</li>
    <li>test</li>
    <li>test</li>
    <li>test</li>
  </ul>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Cheers,

Charles.
