LIST tag / doc declaration not working right

windows

Guest
I have an unordered list in my page that the bullets are not showing up in Mozilla. Through W3 validator, I had it down to 8 errors but now I'm back up to 53 errors. Maybe a conflict of something with the first line, the document declaration? What the heck am I supposed to put for the declaration? <br />
<br />
The page is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dukewill.com/index.html">http://www.dukewill.com/index.html</a><!-- m --> and the LIST is not very deep into the page. I even put closing tags at end of each list item but that didn't fix it. Are you supposed to use those? Are you supposed to begin and end a <UL> with a <P> tag?<!--content-->I'd be willing to bet that the bullets are there in Mozilla, but you can't see them, because you have a black background. Try adding this to the <head>:<br />
<br />
<style type="text/css"><br />
ul li {<br />
color: #ffffff;<br />
background-color: transparent;<br />
}<br />
</style><!--content-->Wow, you're smart. That is exactly right. Man, something as "simple" as a bullet, you would think Mozilla would figure that out like IE. Thanks!<br />
<br />
Say, anything you can tell me what to "say" in the document declaration? I've read up on it but they confuse me. When I'm creating HTML by hand, I just want to know what to put up there in that first line.<!--content-->Actually, when you think about it, Mozilla gets it right. Why should the browser change the color of the bullet point, unless you specify that it should be changed?<br />
<br />
As far as doctypes go, take a look at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webdevfaqs.com/html.php#doctype">http://www.webdevfaqs.com/html.php#doctype</a><!-- m --> and perhaps <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webdevfaqs.com/html.php#validate">http://www.webdevfaqs.com/html.php#validate</a><!-- m -->. If you want a more comprehensive explination of doctypes, see <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/">http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/</a><!-- m --><!--content-->
