HTML Lists Elements
Now it is time to learn some new HTML elements <ul>, <ol> and <li> which are used to create lists. What better way to display and describe them than in their very own list!- <ul> is short for "unordered list" and inserts bullets for each list item.
- <ol> is short for "ordered list" and numbers each list item.
- To make items in the list you must use the <li> tag ("list item").
As well as their obvious use, lists are also commonly used for structuring data to create website menus and drop down menus. First things first though, let's look at some basic list examples.
Ordered HTML Lists
The html code above will create a list like this in the browser...
- First list item
- Second list item
Unordered HTML Lists
The html code above will create a list like this in the browser...
- A list item
- Another list item
HTML List Types
By default the unordered list displays the bullet points as circles and the ordered list uses numbers as its default. You can also create different types of lists, such as a,b,c lists or Roman numeral lists, using the attribute 'type' and setting a relevant value, see the options below.- 1 - (Default) List using decimal numbers (1, 2, 3, 4)
- a - Alphabetically ordered list, lowercase (a, b, c, d)
- i - Roman numerals list, lowercase (i, ii, iii, iv)
- Disc - (Default) Filled in circle bullet point list
- Circle - An unfilled circle or circle outline bullet point list
- Square - A filled in square bullet point list
Practice and experiment by creating your own lists using html and add them into your web pages.
