Step 1: Save the following image, and upload it into your webpage directory (by right clicking image, and selecting "Save as"):
Step 2: Add the below to the BODY section of your page, immediately following the <body> tag itself:
| Code: | ||||
<div id="dot0" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; height: 11; width: 11;">
<img src="bullet.gif" height=11 width=11>
</div>
<div id="dot1" style="position: absolute; height: 11; width: 11;">
<img src="bullet.gif" height=11 width=11>
</div>
<div id="dot2" style="position: absolute; height: 11; width: 11;">
<img src="bullet.gif" height=11 width=11>
</div>
<div id="dot3" style="position: absolute; height: 11; width: 11;">
<img src="bullet.gif" height=11 width=11>
</div>
<div id="dot4" style="position: absolute; height: 11; width: 11;">
<img src="bullet.gif" height=11 width=11>
</div>
<div id="dot5" style="position: absolute; height: 11; width: 11;">
<img src="bullet.gif" height=11 width=11>
</div>
<div id="dot6" style="position: absolute; height: 11; width: 11;">
