Question on lists

Can you tell me why the webordlistsinv.html page will display correctly but won't validate?

  1. Hi Jane

    I did some research on it because ya had ME wondering. Here is what I found out. Looks like the tag ol type="A" only validates TRANSITIONAL or FRAMESET. It is recommended to use styles instead,which is what we started this week in class. Here is the site addy to read more on it.

    Its a lil down the page, bout third of the way.

  2. Thanks so much, Bob. I see that the keyword 'type' is deprecated so that's why it won't validate. I guess validating is about determining whether the code will work on all browsers. The invalid code works fine on ie and firefox.

    Thanks again.
