If you need help visualizing the usefulness of this, here's a screen shot: http://d.pr/8QjU

I needed this script when I was developing styles for a CMS Website. The editor the client would use has options for adding styles, and you could carefully instruct the WYSIWYG editor to create a div in each list item, or "li", but... that's just unrealistic to expect a client to figure out and get right.

With this JS you can create the styles and whenever the client adds an ordered list, or "ol", everything just works.
