strange effect with images?

[John Salerno]

The problems keep coming! Ok, this used to work, and now suddenly it
doesn't. The images I'm using for this menu should have small squares to
the left of the text, but when I use them they don't. Why do they disappear?

Here are the images:

http://www.johnjsal.com/images/l1_over.jpg

And here are pages that use them in a menu:
http://www.johnjsal.com/columns.html (uses other styles too)
http://www.johnjsal.com/menu-test.html (just uses the menu stuff, so it
should work)

Why don't you save yourself some grief and confusion and peruse the CSS
properties and familiarize yourself first...

I thought I had, and this had worked one time before. Now that I read
your link, I remember I had to change some position properties to get it
in the right spot, so that must have messed me all up.

Thanks.

Nope, even putting that stuff back in didn't fix the problem.

Ok, I'm very confused. On a whim (and out of desperation), I copied the
CSS from the external file and pasted it as an internal style sheet in
my html file, and now the images work! Why would this solve the problem
when nothing else changed?

iamge, and not the css file! thank you!
