HTML list with different images as bullets

Question

I know it is possible to set an image instead of the HTML default bullets:

list-style-image: url(...);

But I havent't found a way how I can set different images in one and the same list. e.G.: Instead of the first bullet, img_1 is shown, instead of the next 5 bullets img_2 is displayed ... .

Answer 1

HTML-

<ul>
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ul>

CSS(doesn't work on IE 7,8)-

ul li:nth-child(1){
list-style-image:url('image1.png');
}
ul li:nth-child(2){
list-style-image:url('image2.png');
}
ul li:nth-child(3){
list-style-image:url('image3.png');
}

CSS for all Browser including IE 7,8

ul li:first-child{
list-style-image:url('image1.png');
}
ul li:first-child + li{
list-style-image:url('image2.png');
}
ul li:first-child + li + li{
list-style-image:url('image3.png');
}
ul li:first-child + li + li + li{
list-style-image:url('image4.png');
}

Just add a different class in the LI element

<ul class="navlist">
    <li class="img_1">element1</li>
    <li class="img_2">element2</li>
</ul>
<style>
.navlist li.img_1
{
padding-left: 10px;
background-image: url(images/image1.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0 .5em;
}
.navlist li.img_2
{
padding-left: 10px;
background-image: url(images/image2.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0 .5em;
}
</style>

You need to use nth-child Property

CSS

li:nth-child(1){list-style-image:url(image)}
