Summarized test results:
Predefined counter styles

Intended audience: users, XHTML/HTML coders (using editors or scripting), script developers (PHP, JSP, etc.), CSS coders, Web project managers, and anyone who wants to know user agents correctly apply predefined counter styles to list-style-type.

Updated

These tests check whether user agents already support by default the predefined counter styles for list-style-type described by the document Predefined Counter Styles. That document does not contain normative requirements, but is simply intended to provide useful advice and support to developers. The majority of the styles as defined in the document do not have to be followed to the letter.

A few styles are defined as part of the CSS3 Counter Styles specification. They are repeated here but can also be found, with slightly more detail, in the test results for that spec.

Note that the snapshot summaries of these test results are for released versions of the browsers tested. Versions that are still in development may provide better support for these features. The tests themselves do not test any vendor prefixes.

results

Remember that the descriptions of styles in the specification are advisory rather than requirements, and may in some cases be incorrect. These tests, nevertheless, assess the implementations against what is currently in the document. In some cases, a test result may become positive in the future either because the implementation was changed or because the spec was changed.

The tables show results for tests run on the date shown. Above the tables are summaries of the results at that date. The table data may be more up-to-date than the summary. If the tables contain some incorrectly scored tests, or tests that relate to non-released versions of browsers, these are not included in the summary.
