Properties

Inherits properties from its parent, HTMLElement.

HTMLLIElement.type ': Is a DOMString representing the type of the bullets, "disc", "square" or "circle". As the standard way of defining the list type is via the CSS list-style-type property, use the CSSOM methods to set it via a script.
HTMLLIElement.value: Is a long indicating the ordinal position of the list element inside a given <ol>. It reflects the value attribute of the HTML <li> element, and can be smaller than 0. If the <li> element is not a child of an <ol> element, the property has no meaning.

Methods

No specific method; inherits properties from its parent, HTMLElement.
