The site looks very nice! But one problem: if you use IE5 Mac's 'Text Zoom'
to increase the size of text, the layout breaks. Same in Netscape 6.
About the bullets: annoying, isn't it? On my latest designs, I'm using the
following style to get around this:
ul {
list-style-type: square;
list-style-position: inner;
list-style-image: url(../shared-images/triangle.gif);
}
Netscape 4.x understands list-style-type, so NS users get square bullets.
But IE users get a nice graphic bullet that is centered with the text.
Designing the graphic so it aligns with your list text does involve a bit of
trial and error, though.
