The Background Behind Ordered and Unordered Lists

The backgrounds of ordered (OL) and unordered lists (UL), or each individual list item (LI), are specified using the same specifications language as the class for DIV sections.

If specifying an image for the background, the image will be behind the entire list if specified for UL or OL tags. However, if specified for LI, the image will be repeated behind each individual list item.

If UL and OL are specified, and LI, too, then the browser will print the LI background over the UL and OL background for each individual list item.
