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

ID: Q197570

The information in this article applies to:

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 this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

                            DhBulletedList(DhListType.LARGE_LETTER);
      list.addItem(new DhText("Item 1"));
      list.addItem(new DhText("Item 2"));
      list.setBackColor(Color.BLUE);
      list.setForeColor(Color.RED);
      add(list);
   }
