I am rewriting my web site and have hit a cross browser compatability
problem. The site is at:

http://www.newftpwebsite.richardfish...ineering.shtml

with access using username richard and password fisher

I have unordered lists which show as expected in non IE7 browsers
displaying the bullets. In IE7 no bullets are displayed. If I
remove the floats the bullets appear for IE7. (The CSS for the page
in question is at the end of the linked file.)

I searching the internet and found a possible a fix (which I haven't
yet tried) which suggested using images for the bullets. There must
be a better way.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Is the site part of someone's eye test?!!!!!

I'm in a hurry at the minute, but if IE's misbehaving, why not send it some
conditional CSS?

Thank you very much. That fixed my problem. This forum is wonderful
