    It seems to be working for me in IE7 and Firefox.

    Good to hear it's OK in IE 7, I was actually referring to IE 6 (which a lot of the sites visitors use)

    I didn't look at your site, but there's two things which may be going on:

    FF and IE use different things to indent the li's. One uses padding and the other uses margins-- I didn't look to see if you'd already zero'd those out or not.
    http://www.alistapart.com/stories/taminglists/

    Since I don't see the universal reset, I'd just tell you to do
    ul, li {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }
    and then check all your other lists-- whatever indent you want, you'll need to add manually:
    ul li {
    padding-left: somanypx;
    }


    Sometimes bullets disappear because they slide off-screen or underneath whatever's to the left of the list. Resetting margins and padding, and then using margin-left ot push the list far enough away from the left side of its container usually does the trick. (took a look, not your issue here)

    If they disappear when hovering over them, you need to trigger haslayout (set a width or a height or one of the other haslayout triggers
    http://haslayout.net/haslayout
    without disturbing the other browsers (height is tricky, try to avoid or use the Holly hack).
