CSS bullets not displayed in FCKeditorX

Post by Darwin Web Design »

Hi there,
I've created CSS bullets using a small background .gif to replace the standard dark dot:

li
{
margin-left: 0px;
background: url(templates/graphics/bullet.gif) no-repeat 0px .6em;
padding-left: 1.8em;
padding-bottom: 1em;
padding-right: 20px;
line-height: 1.3em;
}

It looks great on the actual web page with Firefox and IE and this is the way I usually do my bullets (hope it's right) - but the editor does not show any bullets at all just a blank space with an indent.  Is it possible for the editor to show a bullet here, even just a plain round one so my clients don't get confused when they are trying to edit?

Also, the text size is really tiny in the editor (although the fonts and heading styles do show up correctly) - is there a way to size this up so it's the same as the actual web page?

Also, is the name of this editor meant to sound so... rude?  Or is it just me...  :P - don't really need an answer to that one, the top two questions are more important...  but every time I see the name of it, I just wonder.

Thanks,
Eva

you can go to the Extensions » FCKeditorX and set preff. there guess ther isn't much under the 'Help" section in the modules for this

if you c who  ;)

never thought of it  8)  now i'll be doing the same thing.. you could go thru the .php files and change it...

BTW: most images are in the uploads/images folder in the root, might want to use this path as the person who takes the site may get confused when they look in the help and see referance to it, i know... it's a throw back to the good ol days eh mate...

Thanks Mark
I copied and pasted the relevant css (headings, list styles etc) into the F** editor properties and this did not make any difference.  The styles were appearing in the editor before anyway, the only think missing is the bullet gifs and the size of the text is very very tiny. 

Have you any other ideas to try?

Thanks maaaaaaaaaaate.  ::)
