I'm using CMSms 1.3.1 and TinyMCE 2.4.0. I'm new to CMSms and to CMS's in general and need some help...

I know this isn't working in IE but I have a long list of issues and haven't gotten to that one yet. What I'm trying to format are the two sentences under Objective, I want them to be two list items in an unordered list.

http://www.redkitecreative.com/projects/naww/

I want my user to be able to use my CSS style for an unordered list. The style is 'bullet-list', it's showing up in TinyMCE correctly under the Styles dropdown.

li.bullet-list {
  padding-bottom: 0.8em;
  list-style-type: disc;
  font-size: 110%;
}

If I select a block of text, three sentences, and click on the bullet list icon in TinyMCE, it makes it tiny and with no bullets. If I then select my style from the dropdown, nothing happens. Or, if I don't use the bullet list icon and just try the style, that also makes the text tiny with no bullets.

I tried setting style to bullet-list then pasting, that just pasted it into a paragraph tag.

So, can someone please tell me how to correctly format a bullet list within the content?

Depending on where it's at like in #main then...

#main li {
        your styling
}

If you want to use your style in tiny, make the list then hilite and choose your style, changed to look like so...

.bullet-list {
  padding-bottom: 0.8em;
  list-style-type: disc;
  font-size: 110%;
}

Another question - is it possible to get this to show up in the Tiny editor window correctly formatted? I think that's what Mark was telling me but do I need to insert that .bullet-list in a CSS file of Tiny's rather than my template's CSS file?

It may not show when in tiny/editing page but should show in page, if you put it in CSS it will show it and all other class styles in Style drop down, if you put it in the custom style box it's the only thing that will show in Style drop down, and any thing you put in the custom style box has to have a corresponding call in your CSS or it won't do anything...

If solved please notate in subject line in first post...
