I suppose I better make up an example... bit busy but will as
this rather bugs me...
I agree one should start your way... but the problem is deeper...
Have you used negative margins to get the list to come a bit
closer to the left? Or given less than what one would intuitively
give when allowing a margin (of say 290px) for a left floated pic
(say 300 wide) so that the list sits closer to the pic (with no
list markers needed)
btw. I am greatly hampered by the crappy unreliable Windows box I
have. Fancy having to fork out just to see what my sites look
like in IE! Please, no one suggest online browser capture images.
It is hopeless this way. :)
