I have a paragraph and simply want a bullet image to appear at the start
of the paragraph text. I tried the following html:
<p><span class="dot"></span>some text</p>
as seen here: http://solmar.ca/temp8/test1.html
Observed: IE5 and Moz 1.3 works - IE 6.0 and Opera 6.05 does not work
I then assumed that maybe because there is nothing in the span that this
problem appears for IE6 and Opera 6.05, so I tried a kludge as an
expirement:
<p><span class="dot"> </span>some text</p>
as seen here: http://solmar.ca/temp8/test2.html
Observed: IE5, Moz 1.3, IE 6.0 works - Opera 6.05 does not work
Any idea what it would take for this to work in Opera 6.05 and if
possible to work without the in IE6?
<img src="img/dot.gif" width="9" height="9" alt="" class="dot">
(i.e. HTML only) works on all browsers but is not a good idea for
multiple reasons.
BTW I also tried lists but found that on some browsers bullet images
where positioned inside the text block and on others they were
positioned outside the text block.
