Can anyone tell me how I can use ticks and crosses in dreamweaver instead of
bullet points, i have a clinet who has requested both and I cannot for the life
of me find a way from within dreamweaver or from googling it.

Any help would be appreciated

You need to use CSS to create a class for those with ticks, and those
with crosses. You will need to create a suitable image for both, and
then assign the class to the <li> tags where you need them to display.

The best way is as Steve describes but with this additional twist:

Set the desired image as the background image, no-repeat, of the <li> tag,
and use left padding to move the contents to the right enough for the
background to display.

This is a good way to have more control over where the image is
displayed in relation to the text. I seem to remember custom bullets
being a pain in a*** at times.

Steve

Custom bullets are always a PITA!

Just an addition: Usually all you need is just a class on the <ul>,
assuming that not both bullet images are used within the same list.

And if the second image is used for nested lists, you won't even need
another class, but just a simple descendant selector:

ul.special li {...} /* first image */
ul.special li li {...} /* second image */
