[css-d] change colour of bullet in UL no images no spans

2011-08-29 Thread Lisa Frost

Lisa, The only way to make the text a different color than the bullet is to wrap the text in something (span, a, b, whatever) that you can give a color to. Other than that, you'll have to use a bullet image. Tim On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 11:10 AM, Lisa Frost birdiefr...@gmail.com wrote: I've

the 1024x768 area would be nice to have to show what would and wouldn't be visible to users with that resolution. Is this even a good idea? If you use Firefox and the Web Developer Toolbar, there is a resize option. The default is 800px x 600px, but you can add your own dimensions
