Change bullets color in a list without span

Normally, the bullet point in ul/li is a black solid circle. I want to change the style of it, like I want to set the color of the bullet point to be green, I also want to cha开发者_开发技巧nge the bullet point to be a square. Anyone knows how to do that?

Apply the color to the li and set the span (or other child element) color to whatever color the text should be.

ul
{
    list-style-type: square;
}

ul > li
{
    color: green;
}

ul > li > span
{
    color: black;
}

A couple ways this can be done:

This will make it a square

ul
{
  list-style-type: square;
}

This will make it green

li
{
  color: #0F0;
}

This will prevent the text from being green

li p
{
  color: #000;
}

However that will require that all text within lists be in paragraphs so that the color is not overridden.

A better way is to make an image of a green square and use:

ul
{
  list-style: url(green-square.png);
}

I believe this is controlled by the css color property applied to the element.

You need to use list-style-type: to change bullet type/style and the above link has all of the options listed. As others have stated the color is changed using the color property on the ul itself

To create 'black filled' bullets, use 'disc' instead of 'circle',i.e.:

list-style-type:disc
