<ul> and a flush left list

[Stephen]

Hi,

I have a nice list with the bullets flush left. But when
I put the <ul> atop the list, as I guess I am supposed to
do, the bullets move to the right or go centered, and my
words go awry, and I now have all this room on the left of
the table.

Does anyone know if having <ul> </ul> is that important?
Will Google knock us down if we don't have it?

Or does anyone know how I can get the bullets back to
flush left with the <ul> in there?

Thanks a lot,

Stephen

Hi,

I realize now that all the <ul> is doing is indenting the
bullets, which is what I don't want. I tried inserting
<h1> after the <ul> and before the <LI> but it didn't seem
to help. I guess if there is no way to take out the
indent of the bullets, I'll have to take out the bullets
altogether but I like them.

Thanks for your help.

By html stds all lists are indented
- there are CSS workarounds, but they are not globally supported
- if you don't want the indents just use images before the txt

Show me your code so I don't have to guess what on earth you are doing!

- there are CSS workarounds, but they are not globally supported

Sure they are. At least in all modern browsers.

Look - this works fine -

<ul style="margin:0; padding:0">
<li>One
<ul>
<li></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Two </li>
<li>Three</li>
<li> </li>
</ul>

Google doesn't care. This is a design/layout feature, not SEO. Googlebot
only reads text. If you want to see what Googlebot sees on your web
page, use the Lynx browser or one of the Googlebot simulators online.

Stephen,

I decided I wanted to put bullets before a list comprising text and images all of which were hyperlinks. You can see what I did on http://tandcl.homemail.com.au/index.html (the table headed Try these Links) To do this you need a gif named bullet.gif, but I did a search and found quite a few. (An example was in C:\Windows\Web, but there were many others)
