It is also important to use proper markup for lists (and every other element) to ensure accessibility compliance, see WCAG checkpoint 3.5 http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT-TECHS/#tech-list-structure.
cheers Iza >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 29/06/04 12:01 >>> I believe its because, when you style it in CSS. And make the LINKS, BLOCK ELEMENTS - without using <ul>'s. Without the stylesheet, the links will bunch up without any spaces or gaps. So you use a <ul> and <li>'s - just for the fact that it will be backwards compatable with browsers which dont support CSS, and also its just better formatted when you view your code... - thats my opinion... :) Ted Drake wrote: ><ol> gives your links the number 1, 2, 3, etc. >On this line, how do I change it to A, B, C, a, b, c, etc. >Ted > > >-----Original Message----- >From: ckimedia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 4:10 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [WSG] As Good As the Weakest Link > > >Hi, > >When styling a group of links one can simply change the display of the >a:link and a:visited state to display block, making a simply line of >links into a list.
