XHTML Lists
Lists • There are three types of lists available in XHTML • Unordered or bulleted lists • Ordered or numbered lists • Definition or directory lists
Lists • Unordered <ul> </ul> • Ordered <ol> </ol> • Definition <dl> </dl>
Creating Lists • Unordered and Ordered Lists use two tags • <ul> or <ol> to begin the list • <li> to begin each list item Note: Remember there must be a closing tag for each opening tag.
Unordered Lists • Used to list any series of items that have no particular order.
Unordered Lists <p>Things to do today:</p> <ul> <li>Pick up dry cleaning</li> <li>Grocery shopping</li> <li>Pay bills</li> </ul>
Unordered Lists <p>Things to do today:</p> <ul> <li>Pick up dry cleaning</li> <li>Grocery shopping</li> <li>Pay bills</li> </ul> Notice the title of the list goes before the <ul> tag and is enclosed in the paragraph block element.
Unordered Lists Things to do today: • Pick up dry cleaning • Grocery shopping • Pay bills
Ordered Lists • Perfect for explaining step-by-step instructions for how to complete a particular task or for creating an outline of a larger document.
Ordered Lists <ol> <li>Logon to the computer</li> <li>Open your journal</li> <li>Write your Glossary word</li> <li>Wait for instructions</li> </ol>
Ordered Lists 1. Logon to the computer 2. Open your journal 3. Write your Glossary word 4. Wait for instructions
Definition Lists • Particularly suited to glossaries, but works well with any list that pairs a word or phrase with a longer description.
Definition Lists • Consist of a term, followed by an indented definition. • Use three tags: • <dl> </dl> - begin the list • <dt> </dt> - definition term • <dd> </dd> - definition
Definition Lists <dl> <dt>A</dt> <dd>apples</dd> <dd>artists</dd> <dt>B</dt> <dd>bugs</dd> <dd>balloons</dd> </dl>
Definition Lists A apples artists B bugs balloons
Nesting Lists • You can nest lists within lists. <ol> <li>item a</li> <li>item b</li> <li>item c <ul> <li>item one</li> <li>item two</li> </ul> </li> </ol>
Nesting Lists 1. item a 2. item b 3. item c • item one • item two
list-style-type • By default, unordered lists use a disc for each item and ordered lists use numbers. • You can change the appearance of either by including the list-style-type property in a style attribute
Style attribute - unordered <ul> <li>Item one </li> <li> Item two </li> </ul> <ul style="list-style-type: circle"> <li>Item one </li> <li> Item two </li> </ul> <ul style="list-style-type: square"> <li>Item one </li> <li> Item two </li> </ul>
Style attribute - ordered <ol> <li>Item one </li> <li> Item two </li> </ol> <ol style="list-style-type: upper-alpha"> <li>Item one </li> <li> Item two </li> </ol> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha"> <li>Item one </li> <li> Item two </li> </ol>
Style attribute - ordered <ol style="list-style-type: upper-roman"> <li>Item one </li> <li> Item two </li> </ol> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman"> <li>Item one </li> <li> Item two </li> </ol>
