Hi.

A question about using <ul> and <li> tags in web page creation.

When I use them, bullet points don't seem to show up in my screenreader.
The text just all runs together as if it's one paragraph. Admittedly the
line break is recognised but usability is lost without a bullet point. 

What reason is there for this?

Is it strictly a CSS thing? i.e. the CSS I'm using on my site could be
altering the condition to the point that the screenreader doesn't
recognise a bullet is there? Or is there another reason? 

Any tips either way appreciated. 

Note I do have to use <UL> tags here so this is my only solution. I've
seen bullet points work previously but can't work out what is going
wrong. 

FYI I am using JAWS 9 on IE6 today.
