I'd vote for: <ol start="40"> <li>text info in here</li> </ol> I think the specs should not have deprecated the attribute - breaking up huge lists into separate pages is entirely legit, which means the numbering is an important part of the *content*. The idea that all numbers should be added with CSS goes against the idea of separating style and content, IMHO. I'd recommend using <li value="n">, but I'm not clear about the future interpretation of the attribute. I notice it's included in XHTML 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xhtml2-20040722/mod-list.html#adef_list_value), but the spec doesn't say whether following items should continue the numbering from the previous value. That would be *logical*, but ...well, specs aren't always logical :) cheers, h -- --- <http://www.200ok.com.au/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
