CCing this to the list, since I'm sure you intended the correct url for everyone :-)

My guess is that your list-style: none is being adhered to by Firefox and that IE ignores it upon
seeing that you assigned a list-style on hover.

You declare list-style: none in the #navleft li, so I believe Firefox is correct in not applying the
list-style-image rule, since the list-style is inherited.

I can't think of a way of rescinding the "none" declaration either. You could try explicitly setting
list-style to "disc" which is its default value, on the #navleft li a:hover rule.

Or you could not set list-style at all, and link to a blank image and add list-style-image to the
#navleft li rule.

Possibly a better alternative would be to keep the list-style set to none and simply show a
background image on hover instead. That will ultimately allow you more flexibility in positioning
the image and its size. However, I believe there are problems with image flickering (and
workarounds) on hover with IE.

Hope that helps. Perhaps other members will be able to provide you with better ideas.

Regards,
Ron
