Hi,

That was my thought, well not as articulate as your illustration, but along the same line.

Thanks,

Hi,

Your second example is not valid; <h3> element cannot be
contained in <dl>

Quite correct but it can be within the <dd>.

in such way. the first one is ok, but why don't you consider
such scenario:

<h2>News</h2>
<div id="news-001">
         <h3>News Name & Date</h3>
         <p>News content here...</p>
</div>

or something similar to that. Imho, lists are not really to
be used in such
situations.

Sorry Czeslaw, I disagree entirely with this. Definition lists are entirely
appropriate for any name/value set and are quite different to other (ordered
and unordered) lists. A div is far less semantically appropriate IMHO.


A better approach may be:

<h2>News</h2>
<dl id="news"><!-- id only needed if you need to style this differently to
other DLs -->
<dt>Article 1 name</dt>
<dd><em>date</em></dd>
<dd>
<p>article 1 content</p>
<p>article 1 content</p>
</dd>
</dl>


Then you will have granular control over the style of the decendants of the
#news DL element so you could style (for example) the p element to have no
top-margin and sit up under the date.
