Sorry for what for some may be a silly question, but may I please ask, <dl>, <dt> and <dd> and their closing tags, what are they?
They refer to definition lists. The dl is the definition list element, dt is placed within that and it is the definition term. dd is the corresponding definition for the dt immediately preceding it. It is a valuable construct as it shows a relationship between the term and the definition. I use them often for links pages and staff pages where the name is the term and the bio is the the definition.
If you look at my other posts in this thread you will see that there are some valid forms of dl's. The question of whether to use them in the case I suggested in this thread is still up in the air.
