Re: [WSG] list bullet question

[Alan Trick]

Hi,
There are several advatages to using list-style-image

  you can click on the image to select the list item
  it's slightly simpler
  you can still have another background-image on the element

IMHO, the bullet as background image is still better though because of
buggy css support.

  Hi Ted,
All personal opinion, but the bullet as background image has a lot of
advantages:

- You have far more control over the positioning of the bullet, as you can
set it in any position using a range of units (pixel, ems, percents. You can
even position the bullets under the list items if desired.
- As it is positioned exactly, it is also more cross-browser stable, at
least across the modern CS supporting browsers.

When creating custom bullets, I tend to use the background and padding
avenue. I know you can also assign an image as a bullet. My question is,
which is better?  Is one method more bullet-proof?

[WSG] list bullet question

[Drake, Ted C.]

I have a global list question.

When creating custom bullets, I tend to use the background and padding
avenue. I know you can also assign an image as a bullet. My question is,
which is better?  Is one method more bullet-proof?

Thank you for any input
Ted
