Hi,

Please test this code in your browser

<div style="margin:0 auto; width:500px; height:300px; background-color:#f3f3f3;">
	<img style="float:left" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/226/514439499_b94f694f5c_m.jpg" />
    <ol>
    	<li>The number one</li>
        <li>The number two</li>
        <li>The number three</li>
        <li>The number three</li>
        <li>The number three</li>
        <li>The number three</li>
        <li>The number three</li>
        <li>The number three</li>
        <li>The number three</li>
        <li>The number three</li>
        <li>The number three</li>
    </ol>
</div>
</body>
</html>

The ordered list number are overlapping the image a bit?
Can you help me solve it?
I don't want to float the list

thanks

just note that, the image will have border, so I can't use padding-right + display:block

Solved!
the ol li list-style must be inside decimal
