I am having a problem with IE 5.0 and styles. I am working on some pages
that use ol and ul nested inside ol.  Everything looks fine in NN 4.7 and IE
4.0 but in IE 5.0 no matter what I try my ordered list has every item as
number 1 so that instead of 1., 2., 3. I get 1., 1., 1.  Also, the items all
wrap flush left instead of lining up with the first alpha character. Can
anyone help me out with this one? I am including the styles and a sample of
the list.  (Please copy me directly on any responses as I receive the digest
version.)

ol {
	list-style-type: decimal;
	text-align : left;
	list-style-position: outside;
	width: 525px;
	font : small Verdana Geneva Arial Helvetica sans-serif;
}
ul {
	text-align : left;
	list-style-position: outside;
	width: 400px;
	font : small Verdana Geneva Arial Helvetica sans-serif;
}

li {
	list-style-position: outside;
	text-align: left;}

SAMPLE HTML:

<ol>
	<li>Item 1</li>
	<li>Item 2</li>
	<li>Item 3
		<ul>
		<li></li>
		<li></li>
		</ul>
	</li>
</ol>
