I have it done in HTML, and I think you can do it in Java Script. You will have to right-click on your perferred picture and click "Save as" (for Windows,) and for the Mac I think you can click on the picture and go up to File and Save As. Well, anyway, save it in your Website Directory, where all the sites and stuff are stored. It is commonly the "Images" directory. (PS. If you want to use another picture, cut this one out and save it to another place, and then name your new picture "bullet"!)

Now, Copy and paste this code in either HTML or Java Script:

<div id="dot0" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; height: 11; width: 11;"><img src="bullet.gif" height=11

width=11></div>
