Hi everyone,

This is my first time to answer this group ?
hope you all accept me as a friend.

ul and li is more preferable than p
because when we going to SEO

ulli is for Listing purposes
p for paragraphs

A definition list dl is the most semantic approach.

 Hi listers,


 I have a graphic map with icons and will have a separate container
for
 a map icon legend. This legend will consist of each different
icon
 that appears on the map and NEXT TO each icon, a definition. My

questions is what element(s) would be most appropriate for that

legends.
 
 It could be:
 
 Shipping facility 
 
 ... 
 
 ... 


 ... 
 
 or a
 
 instead of
 
 s? What's most semantic and
appropriate? TIA!

I was going this way but than was a little stumped with the structure.

This look right?

dl
dtimg src=airplane.png alt=Airplane Icon //dt
ddShipping facility/dd
...
/dl

I don't use dls much. I'm not sure the above is proper.

Suggestions?

Tom - 

Your markup should work. For a detailed description, look at

 Your markup should work. For a detailed description, look at 
 http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html#h-10.3
 

HTML5 has also broadened out the use of the DL:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/
The dl element now represents an association list of name-value groups, and is 
no longer said to be appropriate for dialogue.

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-dl-element
The dl element represents an association list consisting of zero or more 
name-value groups (a description list). Each group must consist of one or more 
names (dt elements) followed by one or more values (dd elements). Within a 
single dl element, there should not be more than one dt element for each name.

Name-value groups may be terms and definitions, metadata topics and values, 
questions and answers, or any other groups of name-value data.

HTH
Russ
