I don't think lists should be used for this (there might be a case for a OL in case of dependant selects, but that would be a stretch). In the case of DL, I'd say that the relationship between DTs and DDs is no better than the one created by the labels and their for attribute. fwiw, I use divs to wrap controls with their label, not because it makes things easier to style, but because of the way the form would look with no such wrapper and no styling. -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [email protected] *******************************************************************
