Can't change HTML List Bullet Color in JLabel, JButton, etc...

Hi Group,

I'm writing HTML into a label.
I changed the background to black and now I'm in trouble.

There doesn't seem to be any way to get the bullets of <ol> or <ul> to
be anything but black.

An example I plugged into JButton and JLabel:

<HTML>BLAH
<FONT color='#FF0000'>
<OL>
<LI>TEST</LI>
<LI>TEST</LI>
<LI>TEST</LI>
</OL>
</FONT>
</HTML>

All the list items were red, but the bullets were still black.

Styles have the same effect:

<HTML>BLAH
<OL style='color:red'>
<LI>TEST</LI>
<LI>TEST</LI>
<LI>TEST</LI>
</OL>
</HTML>

also:

<HTML>BLAH
<OL>
<LI style='color:red'>TEST</LI>
<LI style='color:red'>TEST</LI>
<LI style='color:red'>TEST</LI>
</OL>
</HTML>

Help?

Try running with JDK 1.5.

Hi John,

You're right about the JRE I was using.

Unfortunately we can't upgrade right away, but I was able to fake things by
setting the bullet images to an invalid URL and then putting my own letters
and numbers in.

Thanks!
