A style attribute on an <ol> element.
<ol style="background-color: #f6f8ff;
padding: 20px 40px;
width: 200px;">
<li>Amsterdam</li>
<li>London</li>
<li>Berlin</li>
<li>Paris</li>
</ol>
The style attribute specifies the style, i.e. look and feel, of the <ol> element.
A style contains any number of CSS property/value pairs, separated by semicolons (;).
The style attribute overrides any other style that was defined in a <style> tag or an external CSS file.
This inline styling affects the current <ol> element only.
<ol style="CSS-styles">
Value | Description |
---|---|
CSS-styles | One or more CSS property/value pairs separated by semicolons (;). |

<li>Amsterdam</li>
<li>London</li>
<li>Berlin</li>
<li>Paris</li>
</ol>
<br />
<button onclick="toggle();">Toggle style</button>
<script>
let toggle = () => {
let element = document.getElementById("myol");
if (element.style.backgroundColor === "lavender") {
element.style.backgroundColor = "cornsilk";
} else {
element.style.backgroundColor = "lavender";
}
}
</script>
