CSS Horror: stubborn list item doesn't accept the bullet on halloween

Dear fellow human beings,

Edit: URL removed as Els solved my problem . Apparently using display; inline instead of float: left; doesn’t allow for the bullets to appear.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but I’m coding the CSS for a site, and somehow the list items in the footer do not display a bullet.

Looking at it through firebug it seems that list-style-type: disc; and list-style-position: outside; – get applied. After three hours of shifting things around, I surrender. The problem occurs in IE, gecko, webkit – I can’t even blame the browser.

I’ve tried begging and praying, but as usual, it doesn’t work for me.
Help me out and earn my eternal gratitude or at least for the day.
Me thanks you.

If you replace the display: inline; for #footer li with something like float: left; margin: 10px; it seems to work.
