go lists

Q: My <UL> Tag does not work. Can anyone help?

A: You are doing the following:
<UL>
<LH>Your list heading here</LH>
<LI>List item here</LI>
<LI>List item here</LI>
</UL>


Q. I am having a problem with getting the lists to line up to anywhere but the center though. They always end up in the center and not very well aligned to each other.

A. To get a list to center on the page and still be aligned you need to use a centered table with the list inside of it, this causes the table to be in the center of the page and the list to be left justified within the table itself.


Q.I'm having trouble with the lists. I can't get them to line up properly

A. Your lists are not lining up because they are being centered! Get rid of the <CENTER></CENTER> tags and you'll get neat and orderly lists.


Q. I can't get bullets to display on my unordered list. I tried typing the bullet tag separate from the list tag and I also tried typing within each <Ll> tag but neither worked
A. 
<UL type="SQUARE"> PRODUCES ROUND

<UL TYPE="SQUARE"> PRODUCES ROUND

<UL TYPE="square"> PRODUCES Square

<UL type="square"> PRODUCES Square
  • PRODUCES ROUND in IE
  • PRODUCES ROUND in IE
  • PRODUCES Square
  • PRODUCES Square


square must be in lower case. for IE 5.01


Q. 1. I tried the UL tag but got no bullets, do I need to upload and image or something for that? (Using Explorer 4.0)

Here is what I have:<P><UL><HL>1989-99, City of Poquoson disability representative.</HL>
<LI TYPE="round">1989-93, Poquoson Mayor's Commission for Citizens with Disabilities, Secretary, 1 year.</P>
<Ll TYPE="round">1993-99, Peninsula Disability Services Board. Chairperson, 3 years. Vice Chairperson, 2 years. Representative, Newport News Emergency Services Shelters for Special Needs Persons, 2 years. Eastern Regional Disability Services Boards Coordinator, 1 year.</P>
<Ll TYPE="round">1994-98, Poquoson Seafood Festival Planning Committee.</P>
<Ll TYPE="round">1990-98, Greater Hampton Roads Disability Symposium/Conference Planning Committee. Secretary, 2 years. Program Chair, 1 year.</UL></P>

I tried putting <Ll TYPE="ROUND"> but that didn't work either.

Also, put in the image, but when I put it in the browser all I see is a outlined box with a small white box with a red X in it. The file is saved in my html folder. Am I not suppose to see it until it is on the web?
A.round should be disk, An X instead of an image usually means it isn't uploaded.


Q. When using the tags <DL> and <DD> instead of <OL> and <UL> what is the difference? and what is DD? A. <OL> list is an ordered list marked by numbers.

<UL> list is an unordered list marked bullets.

<DL> list creates a special format for terms and their "definitions" (no numbers or bullets).

<DT> tag marks the term being defined in the <DL> list.

<DD> tag marks the definition of the information in the <DT> tag.
