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) Gary Menzel ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Ottery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 16:52:05 +1000 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. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
