Description Jon@Chromium 2008-10-21 14:30:24 PDT
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 3:
    Firefox 3: ok
         IE 7: ok

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. just go to the website http://www.inquirer.net
2. on the "breaking news" tab where it shows the time and news title, the 
"bullet" character is overlapping the time stamp.

What is the expected result?
the bullet character should be located just before the time stamp.

What happens instead?
the bullet character is on top of the time stamp.

The float:left property of the <span> tag that has the time causes the issue. Note that IE behaves as Safari and Chrome if the background-color of the <span> is not specified. The background-color gets displayed on top of the bullet so you cannot see the bullet in IE

This should be closed, it is closed on chromium with a note that the site was broken and is now fixed. Because there is no decent description and the example is gone I think it should be closed here as well.

Agreed - there's nothing to work with here.
