I have an image aligned left with two paragraphs and a bulleted list to the
right of it. But instead of indenting, the list is sitting flush against the
image with all the rest of the text and the bullets overlap the picture. In the
browser the bullets are simply gone. When I switch the picture to the right,
the bulleted list idents as normal and all looks fine. Anyone know how to fix
this?

Show us your page, please.

we may need to see the whole page.

but first, you should change the [BULLET] tags to <ul> and </ul>. if
that doesn't help, post the whole page including the stylesheet.

Hi Courtney,

I think [BULLET] is how <ul> posted in the web forum transfers over to the
newsgroup...

Take care,
Tim

oh! ok. well that makes sense. i was wondering where he got that!

sorry about that.

in that case, this also happens to me whenever i try to put an image
next to a bullet list. i'm not sure why, though. but i usually just add
some left-padding to the list.

i'd like to know if there's a reason this happens and if padding is the
best way to deal with it.

So adding left-padding only moves the text and not the bullets. If I add enough
left margin, the entire list (with bullets) move over, but then every other
list on the page must follow the same margin rule. CSS is assigning the
bulleted list rules based on the left edge of the #container, not based on its
relation to the text around it so that when the picture pushes the text off the
edge of the container, the bulleted list won't indent any further because it's
already been pushed past it's left-margin value. Does this seem right? Is there
not a fix for this?

Consider this markup -

<p class="stylebody"><img src="images/BR Messaging Graphic.jpg" alt="BRUC"
width="242" height="322" align="left" style="margin-right:25px;" />Unified
blah blah.</p>
<ul>
<li class="stylebody">7 out of 10 voice calls end up in voice mail. </li>
<li class="stylebody">Remote access to voicemail is increasingly
beneficial
since users spend more and more time away from their desks. </li>
<li class="stylebody">Business goals require faster action wherever
possible; time in voice mail queues are shorter when unified messaging is
used. </li>
<li class="stylebody">Microsoft is starting the conversation with their
immense Exchange Server install base and popularity of Exchange Server
2007. </li>
</ul>

(inline style used for convenience and clarity)

You might want to consider never using file/pathnames that contain spaces on
the web -

src="images/BR Messaging Graphic.jpg"

Wow. That's closer. My bullets are now pushed off from the image but the list still won't indent - the text is aligned with the other two paragraphs.

Thank you so much for your help/advice.

How do you want it to indent?
