Nesting h1 inside the ul like that is invalid markup so that's a problem.. Children of <ul> have to be <li> In relation to marking up a title for lists I would probably use the aria tag aria-labelledby IE: <h1 id="list_title">The list title<h1> <ul aria-labelledby="list_title"> <li>...</li> </ul> That way the semantic connection between the list and the heading is kept which I think is the purpose of what you're wanting, yes? Cheers, S
