This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Both UL and OL should permit the @type attribut with the value of "none", the purpose of which should be to set the list style type to none. Here is a demo that shows this effect: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?saved=2730 This behavior is already implemented in Webkit and Firefox (and hence probably in Chromium too)
Raising priority and noting as requiring a minor "feature tweak" to an existing feature.
This is already specified for <ul> in https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#decohints As for <ol type="none">, it only seems to work in Firefox, not in Edge, Safari, or Chrome. Testcase: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?saved=3636
HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: Won't Fix The spec (both WHATWG and now HTML5.1) do not specify 'type' for UL or OL anymore, rather then consider that attribute legacy (obsolete) and recommend using CSS instead. If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!
