I certainly did read the entire thread, thus my question. I was stumped as
to basis of the initial question. The more I read the less I understood.
As for asking silly questions, I would assume that I am not the only person
absolutely in wonder when reading the list mailings. How can so many people
know so much stuff! It only stands to reason, that those of us who don't
know much, would be in awe and feel a bit presumptuous to ask questions at
all.
I bow to you all. :) Thanks for the answers
*a forum would be nice, I have trouble reading all the notes and keeping up.

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.

All the best,
Jay
