Great idea, Christian, but you've been scooped: LH was part of the 1993 HTML3 specification in the UL, OL, and DL definitions, such as: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/deflists.html LH appears to have disappeared from the specs between HTML 3.0 and 3.2, but I wasn't able to discover when or

Hi, And what about the definition list? It seems to me that is a plain way to do that job m8. dl dtheader/dt dditem1/dd ... /dl dl is handy because you can use more headers (dt tags) in the same list etc. Regards, Janos 2005/11/6, Christian Montoya [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Great idea, Christian,

Or you could nest it, even, if that's valid. Sounds awful complex though... dl dtheader/dt dd ul li/li /ul /dd /dl Though I remain uncertain as to the semantic value of that, even if it is valid. Josh On 11/6/05, Janos Hardi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: And what about the definition

I think those both do not solve the problem. How do I give a definition list a header? h1Dictionary/h1 dl dtword/dt dddef/dd dtword/dt dddef/dd /dl I would like to do: dl lhDictionary/lh dt.../dt dh.../dh /dl Any solution that involves nested lists is really bad IMO. That makes things too

Hey Patrick, Yes I understand your doubts but the starting point was that Chris wanted a Hx element semantically connected with a list (with valid xhtml code). I think my solution is okay but I'd never use it ;) I use the plain DL that has DT elements useable for pseudo-headings. Janos
