CSS Counter Increment is not working

Question

This is my CSS and HTML:

 .moving-steps > li:before { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #8F8888; border-radius: 15px; color: #FFFFFF; counter-increment: headings 1; content: counter(headings, decimal); display: block; float: left; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; height: 25px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-right: 5px; text-indent: 8px; width: 25px; } 

 <ul class="moving-steps"> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> 

This code is not working.

 counter-increment: headings 1;  
 content: counter(headings, decimal); 

This inserts 1 every time, what am I missing?

Answer 1

You should have this css on the ul itself:

.moving-steps {
    counter-reset: headings;
}

and counter-increment should only contain headings :

.moving-steps > li:before {
    counter-increment: headings;
}

Check out this JS Fiddle :

 .moving-steps { counter-reset: headings; list-style: none; } .moving-steps > li:before { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #8F8888; border-radius: 15px; color: #FFFFFF; counter-increment: headings; content: counter(headings, decimal); display: block; float: left; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; height: 25px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-right: 5px; text-indent: 8px; width: 25px; } 

 <ul class="moving-steps"> <li>First item</li> <li>Second item</li> <li>Third item</li> </ul> 

Answer 2

Just Add the following style additionally

body{counter-reset: headings;}

then the value will be increment
