Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / May 2006Help with CSS for outline format
I'm trying to get output that looks like this: 1. main point 1 A. subordinate point B. subordinate point 2. main point 2 A. subordinate point B. subordinate point I've put up a first shot at it here: http://www.clearpointsystems.com One thing I'm confused about is when to close the <li> tag... Also, should I sub-class the <ol> or just the <li> ? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks in advance.

That example was exactly what I needed! Thanks! > <ol> > <li>main point 1 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > </ol> > </li> I'd do somthing like this <li><span class="foo" >main point 1</span> <ol> Although your example is valid HTML, it uses a mixed content model for <li>. This makes it difficult to apply CSS later, if you wanted to style the text "main point 1" without affecting the second-level list. Mixed content models are always a pain. They're bad enough for inline text, but I'd make an effort to avoid them around anything block-like (such as lists). > I've put up a first shot at it here: > > http://www.clearpointsystems.com That's a 404. > Also, should I sub-class the <ol> or just the <li> ? "Sub-class"? No comprendi. SignatureJack. |
