I need to format an unordered list as follows:

1) I need to reduce space betw. bullet and line of text..
2) I need to get rid of space to the LEFT of bullet..

have tried various solutions already, mostly taken from here:
http://www.html-faq.com/csspresentation/?csslists

main problem is how diff IE and FF treat lists..

I would like to know how to achieve above-mentioned items (1 & 2) for
both browsers w/o having to do browser-sniffing, JS to print the CSS,
etc.. (IF this is possible..)

thank you very much..

Why exactly do you _need_ to do this? It seems like an
awful lot of trouble to go to for little real gain...

You can't really influence the position of the marker in most browsers,
inside & outside are the only choices.

Solution as posted before:
- list-style-type:none;
- left-padding: something;
- background-image: url(path/to/picture/of/marker.png);
- background-repeat: no-repeat;
- background-position: the exact position you want;
