HTML:lists

[Real Rodrigue]

One way to substitute an image for the disc, square or circle in a bullet
list would be to just erase the <LI> tag, and insert the image in its place,
as in the following code:

----------
<UL>
  <P><IMG SRC="http://www.unites.uqam.ca/bib/images/star.GIF" 
  WIDTH="33" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" NATURALSIZEFLAG="3">1st
  item 
  <P><IMG SRC="http://www.unites.uqam.ca/bib/images/star.GIF" 
  WIDTH="33" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" NATURALSIZEFLAG="3">2nd
  item
  <P><IMG SRC="http://www.unites.uqam.ca/bib/images/star.GIF" 
  WIDTH="33" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" NATURALSIZEFLAG="3">3rd
  item
</UL>
------------
