Well - I have not experienced this - but - if I was looking for a
quick fix (although it will sound like a hack) I would look at adding
a DIV around either or both blocks of text and see if that helps with
the visible/invisible image issue.

(I know - it sounds like wrapping <table> tags to give nice layout -
but CSS is still not perfect and certainly not across all browsers)

Subject: [WSG] list item markers disappear behind floated image
To: "Web Standards Group (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>



Hi, 
I have a problem with images that are floated left and then when a
list wraps around that image the list bullet points themselves dont
get pushed out by the floated image and instead remain behind (or on
top of) the image. to help explain i've put a simple demo page
together to show the problem in its most basic form & explain in a bit
more detail:

http://c41.com.au/test/ul_test.html 

the css is all inline & very basic. the img tag has an empty src on
purpose. this is just an *example* of the prob. dont fear, the
execution looks better than the example :)

basically what I'm looking for is if there is a way to make the list
item markers always "obey" the floated image, but just behave as
normal when the image doesnt appear.

any help greatly appreciated. hope i've explained this well enough... 
pete 


ps: apologies if my emails arrive in your inbox as html or rich text.
I send them as plain text and i think the mail server here forces them
to be plain/rtf on the way out. please dont reply to this list about
this problem.
