I thought that "list-style: inside" meant that "the bullet [or other list-marker] is *inside* the list-item contents," and that "outside" meant that "the bullet is *outside* the list-item contents." Unless I'm wrong - um - your example could be styled as <STYLE TYPE="CSS"> UL UL { list-style: inside } /* should I add a margin-left? */ </STYLE> And then made into HTML as <UL> <LI>first list item comes first <LI>second list item comes second <UL> <LI>first list item comes first <LI>second list item comes second </UL> </UL> -- Dan Hale dhale@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~dhale/
