and the white graphical discs remain steadfastly.
Not considering the inline/cacheing problem that seems to have been solved elsewhere, I needed ID specifiers to get this to work: #header #nav-primary li { list-style-type: none; background-image: none; } This is probably because the existing Garland CSS statement ul li, ul.menu li, .item-list ul li, li.leaf { background: transparent url(images/menu-leaf.gif) no-repeat scroll 1px 0.35em; /* ... */ } typically has two tag specifiers and a classname specifier, so you need either 2+ classnames or an ID to beat that. <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#specificity> should help, although it doesn't make any explicit statement on the super-specificity of inline styles that I can see.
