Hi Alan,
Thanks for your input.  I may have to some browser hacking.  If the
the bullet list item is long, it will wrap (which is what the end user
wants to happen).  I think the positioning of the green bullet based
on coordinates 310px, 8px will not work for lists that are underneath
the floated element.  This area is managed by a content management
system, so I don't have control over the content.  I may try swapping
out the bullet image for a green disc, since the bullet image is
really a green disc.

Thanks,
Stephen
