Latest Lists

HTML experts please get me out this CONFUSED state?

When you dealing with Unordered Lists. This book I reading on HTML states I can add all three style together using this syntax <ul style="list-style: square url(George.jpg) inside"> But here's my question, IF I using an image then why the hell I would need the type, why would I need square there?? I tested it out and when I ran the HTML code all I saw was the image, I saw no squares. So what I'm I not understanding

1. Not all older browsers will recognize the image reference and will fall back on the square.
2. This states that the picture should be shown in a square format - a square bullet. You can also use circles and ellipses. Hope this helps. PS: You are modifying CSS, not HTML. Google CSS to find more.
3. As far as I know, it functions the same way as background images and background color. If you have a background image it will take priority over the background color if they are both defined. You shouldn't need to specify the shape as the image will take priority. If you leave the shape and your image link is broken or the user turns off images the shape will show up as a backup.
