Your <li> are floated. In that case, IE 6 and 7 will _never_ show the list-style (whatever value/type you use). Short story: by floating the <li>, you change the display-value of the <li> from display:list-item to display: block _in IE_. In that case no list marker is generated. Other browsers do not change the display value in the case of a floated <li, and still can generate a list-marker. The additional reason for that behaviour in IE windows is the concept of 'hasLayout', triggered by the float property. For the background on this (not correctly implemented in IE), see <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#dis-pos-flo>.. If you absolutely want those numbers to appear in IE, you'll have to insert them in the html.
