I am trying to create an ordered list on IE7 but for some reason does not work. Does anybody knows why this can be? Update
The issue is that I cant see the numbers, thanks.
Thanks.
eg.
<ol>
<li></li>
<li><li>
</ol>
Update As an example I saw this page where if you look at it on IE7 you wont see de numbers, but if you look at it on any other (but not ie) you will see the numbers.

An ordered list uses numbers or some sort of notation that indicates a series of items. For example, an ordered list can start with number 1, and continue through 2, 3, 4, and so on. Your ordered list can also start with the letter A and go through B, C, D, and so on.
The <ol> tag defines an ordered list. An ordered list can be numerical or alphabetical. The <li> tag is used to define each list item. Tip: Use CSS to style lists. Tip: For unordered list, use the <ul> tag.
You can create an ordered list using the <ol></ol> tag and, define the list items using <li></li>. type="1"− This creates a numbered list starting from 1. type="A"− This creates a list numbered with uppercase letters starting from A. type="a"− This creates a list numbered with lowercase letters starting from a.
This SSCCE works fine in all browsers from IE6 and up (IE6/7/8, FF2/3, Safari3, Chrome4, Opera9).
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>SO question 2401705</title>
</head>
<body>
<ol>
<li>Item 1
<li>Item 2
</ol>
</body>
</html>
It even works when I tried to replace the </ol> by the syntactically invalid <ol>. So, your problem lies somewhere else. You really need to elaborate the "Doesn't work" in more detail. What exactly happens? What exactly happens not? Preferably edit your question to include an SSCCE (like above) and try to ask the question the smart way.
Note, in contrary to what others say, a non-closing <li> is syntactically valid in normal HTML. It's indeed invalid in XHTML, but I don't see any reason to use XHTML unless you're using a component based MVC framework or some other XML based tool to generate HTML pages.
Update: you thus don't see the numbers. Apparently you've set the margin of the ol to zero. This way they will get out of the view. The following SSCCE demonstrates it. It indeed fails in IE6/7.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>SO question 2401705 - IE6/7 problem</title>
<style>ol { margin: 0; }</style>
</head>
<body>
<ol>
<li>Item 1
<li>Item 2
</ol>
</body>
</html>
Don't set the margin to 0. This may also be caused by a so-called CSS reset sheet. Don't use them, just remember to specify the margins for all block elements yourself.

You may also have to give your ordered list a margin-left to see the numbers in IE7. Try this:
<ol style="margin-left:25px;">
<li>test1</li>
<li>test2</li>
</ol>
