jhaslip,Thankyou very much.this has done the trick.I will have to look at precedence in css in the future.PrateekThank you also for your interest.Olking

did you mean like this :div.list{position:absolute;left:100px;width:100%;padding:0;margin:0;list-style-type:disc;font: 900 15px arial;color:#996600;}and in body:<div class="list"><ul><li> Road accidents</li><br><li> Habitat destruction - urban development</li><br><li> Dog and cat attacks - be responsible with your pets</li><br><li> Disease - adverse weather conditions</li><br><li> Flying into windows</li><br><li> Poisons in the environment -many household substances are toxic to wildlifeeg. fly spray, herbicides</li></ul></div>I tried that and still no luck.I am very much a newbie in css one very strange thing.I am writing in dreamweaver and the markers show up ok in the wysiwyg but when I view them in firefox or ie6 they dont show

Put all this inside a <DIV> and change its style through CSS!

I think you should apply the style to the List item -

li.list{position:absolute;left:100px;width:100%;padding:0;margin:0;list-style-type:disc;font: 900 15px arial;color:#996600;}

Then in the body:-

<ul><li class="list"> Road accidents</li><br><li class="list"> Habitat destruction - urban development</li><br><li class="list"> Dog and cat attacks - be responsible with your pets</li><br><li class="list"> Disease - adverse weather conditions</li><br><li class="list"> Flying into windows</li><br><li class="list"> Poisons in the environment -many household substances are toxic to wildlifeeg. fly spray, herbicides</li></ul>

Thank you for your suggestion, but I have tried it and am sorry to say that it doesn't work

I have an unordered list and am trying to apply markers to it.The code I am using is as follows:In the head:-ul.list{position:absolute;left:100px;width:100%;padding:0;margin:0;list-style-type:disc;font: 900 15px arial;color:#996600;}Then in the body:-<ul class="list"> <li> Road accidents</li><br> <li> Habitat destruction - urban development</li><br> <li> Dog and cat attacks - be responsible with your pets</li><br> <li> Disease - adverse weather conditions</li><br> <li> Flying into windows</li><br> <li> Poisons in the environment -many household substances are toxic to wildlife eg. fly spray, herbicides</li></ul>I get the list as I expected except there are no disc markers.I have tried it without the position absolute, but that is no good either.Can anyone help me with this?
