I got a better theory on why lists are used for forms... people have fallen for lists and believe that they are the bees knees for every (x)html problem they encounter. >>> Chris Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 8/02/2008 6:53:08 am >>> Michael Horowitz wrote: > I've been looking at styling forms and I'm seeing some people mark them > up as ordered lists and other using paragraphs.

Therefore lists are useful to wrap form elements if you are creating form building software so the form elements can be easily reordered by non-technical users. -- Chris Knowles ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ****************************************************************************************************** The above message has been scanned and meets the Insurance Commission of Western Australia's Email security requirements for inbound transmission. ****************************************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************************************************************** The above message has been scanned and meets the Insurance Commission of Western Australia's Email security policy requirements for outbound transmission.
