Hi, Melanie,  :)

I'm not sure how to get NN to properly render margins applied to <.td> tags,
but I'm pretty sure I've solved the list-style-image problem by slightly
changing the file path.

There are a few ways you can go about linking to the image; either directly,
or relatively.  What I tend to do if my page and css are in one directory,
and the image is in an images folder within that directory is this:

	list-style-image: url('./images/image.gif');

For some reason, the ./ makes it work in NN.  If that fails, I just link
directly:

	list-style-image: url('http://www.nerdygirl.com/images/image.gif');

I hope that works for you!  :)

Subject: Netscape: List-Style-Image and Margin Problem


Within the css definitionfor a list, I use:

list-style-image:url('imagefile');

It works fine in IE, not in Netscape. Also, I am finding that I cannot apply
a class to a table cell (example: <td class="normal">)and have it handle top
or bottom margins in Netscape. It takes all the margin space and sticks it
in front of the table leaving these big gapping wholes. It manages it ok if
I do:<td><P class="normal">

Are there answers to these 2 problems.

Thanks,
Melanie
