Rob Schlüter HTML tag list: UL

Description

Create an unordered list of items, where unordered means the individual items are not numbered, but have a bullet in front of them. If you want numbered items use an ordered list.
The items in the list are identified with the LI element.

DTD

<!ELEMENT UL - - (LI)+                 -- unordered list --><!ATTLIST UL
  %attrs;                              -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events --
  >

Attributes

Core attributes: class id style title
Internationalization attributes: dir lang
Events: onclick ondblclick onmousedown onmouseup onmouseover onmousemove onmouseout onkeypress onkeydown onkeyup

COMPACT
Show the list in a compact way, taking up less space.

TYPE
The default unordered list has a default progression of bullet types that changes as you move through indented levels. From a solid disc, to a circle to a square.
You can change this default using the TYPE attribute. Allowed values for TYPE are CIRCLE, DISC, and SQUARE.

The WebTV interface renders TYPE=CIRCLE as a triangle because a hollow circle does not display well on TV (that is, the display flickers).
