list-style-image

The list-style-image property specifies an image to be used as the list item marker. It is often more convenient to use the shorthand list-style.

/* Keyword values */
list-style-image: none;
/* <url> values */
list-style-image: url('starsolid.gif');
/* Global values */
list-style-image: inherit;
list-style-image: initial;
list-style-image: unset;

Initial value	`none`
Applies to	list items
Inherited	yes
Media	visual
Computed value	`none` or the image with its URI made absolute
Animation type	discrete
Canonical order	the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar

Note: This property is applied to list items, i.e. elements with display: list-item; by default this includes <li> elements. Because this property is inherited, it can be set on the parent element (normally <ol> or <ul>) to let it apply to all list items.

Syntax

Values

<uri>: Location of image to use as the marker.
