Lady Aleena,

Nice to hear from you again. What particular method are you using for html validation? (That is, who says that <ul>...</ul> positioned between </li>...<li> is invalid?) UPDATE: almut's reply clears this up -- I'm wrong, and the markup I posted above is Not Good™.

~~I'm somewhat skeptical that the output I posted above constitutes an error in html syntax.~~ Despite knowing that this markup is invalid, it may be worth pointing out that I stuck it into a file surrounded by <html>...</html> and loaded it into Safari and Firefox, and they both render it as I would expect (i.e. as intended). So in that sense at least, it works.

Having said that, I'll acknowledge that the following layout for the markup also works, and ~~I can well imagine that one or another validator might~~ it has been shown that html validators should insist on this version (even though ~~I don't see it as a necessary condition~~ it seems to work either way):

<UL>
  <LI> examples/html:
   <UL>
    <LI> examples/html/bars: </LI>
    <LI> examples/html/headers: </LI>
    <LI> examples/html/links: </LI>
    <LI> examples/html/lists: </LI>
    <LI> examples/html/menus: </LI>
    <LI> examples/html/rgb: </LI>
    <LI> examples/html/tables: </LI>
   </UL>
  </LI>
  <LI> examples/ps:
   <UL>
    <LI> examples/ps/marks: </LI>
   </UL>
  </LI>
  <LI> examples/splash:
   <UL>
    <LI> examples/splash/dropbox: </LI>
    <LI> examples/splash/frame: </LI>
    <LI> examples/splash/hair: </LI>
    <LI> examples/splash/icon: </LI>
    <LI> examples/splash/menu: </LI>
    <LI> examples/splash/menubar: </LI>
   </UL>
  </LI>
</UL>

If you are having trouble getting the code to output this pattern, show the code you have so far, and we'll see what's up with that.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
