css list background

[evropa]

i would like the list text to wrap around the image

so far i have:

.menucontainer li {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #666666;
background-position: 0 12px;
background-image: url(file/images/checkmark.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-bottom: 0.4em;
margin-top: 0.4em;
padding-left: 22px;
}

which produces the following:

i would like the text to start above the checkmark and get in below it instead
of going straight down

Look into the float tag. I'd help more but all I've ever been able to do is experiment until I get it right.
