4 edits | Lists not working the way they used to...
Sometime ago the "lists" stopped working the way that they used to. Ordered List are no longer ordered, and the LI tag no longer automatically creates a new line. Here are some examples:
•This list•is not•ordered,•nor is each•item on a•new line. It seems the OL and UL tags do nearly the same thing:
•This list•is (appropriately) not•ordered,•nor is each•item on a•new line. With one strange caveat. The amount of indentation seems different -- OL indents more.
Is this something that was desired, or is it a glitch? |

As far as I remember the LI tag was meant just to make a "dot" not automatically start a new line.
Now the BR tag on the other hand does start a new line.

4 edits | LI essentially means "next item in list". OL is "ordered list" (which means numbered or lettered), and UL means "unordered list" (which means "dots" or bullets are used instead of numbers). LI usually 'implies' a line break, because that is how lists are usually made.
That is, I beleive, standard HTML code -- isn't it? And that is how this web site used to work in the past. Or is my memory failing me?

Certainly IE uses the codes the way I describe above. See images.
It looks like justin certainly has changed the way lists works -- or moybe my memory is just wrong.
I just realized that the "USE HTML" list no longer has OL or UL. Only LI is there, and on his "Post How To - Examples" it shows that LI works only to create the bullet. Oh well. I will have to manually create orederred lists! No big deal. Thanks for humoring me. R2 |
