Here's my page: http://www.meganjack.com/index_l.html

To view as intended you'll need to resize the browser window to about 200 pixels - it's the left side of a framset.

Now, after much struggle I have finally managed to get a cross-browser background rollover working as desired (thank you ala). What I want to is style the list numbers and bullets (make them bold, remove the . from the numbering, add borders). Is this possible? The numbers also aren't lining up right in IE.

Oh, so close...

I think css can do all that.

try this for ref: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/

and this for lists: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/lists.html

Excellent. That seems to be what I'm looking for. I'll try it out tomorrow.

Thanks!

Darn - can only get it to work in Opera. Moz and IE are ignoring the styling.

Okay, now I have an alternate version using spans to show the numbers. WOrks fine, except when one of the listings spans over two or more lines (resize your browser window to see what I mean). How can I get those number blocks to fill the whole space there? Any ideas? That seems to be the only problem here.

I have no idea, but I wanted to say WOW, Megan, that looks great. I kind of like the little square staying a little square, actually, but the text wrapping under it is a bit odd.
