I forgot to mention one thing in my post a few minutes ago [1]. This proposal is the solution to the problem I raised a few weeks ago about lists and floats [2] (and which was noted in the spec [3], as Ian Hickson pointed out [4]). If one were to declare (possibly in a UA style sheet): UL, OL, DIR, MENU { float-displace: jaggedbox; } the typical behavior of floated images using HTML's align would be restored, and the list markers would not flow on the "wrong side" of a float. This could then be reversed by someone who increased the margin on a UL and had a small image floated to its left, by declaring: UL { float-displace: inline; } /* none would work too */ David Baron [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/1998Dec/0082.html [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/1998Dec/0029.html [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#markers [4] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/1998Dec/0066.htmlReceived on Sunday, 27 December 1998 20:45:56 GMT
