Working with Lists

 

Intro to HTML Module Home

Working with lists can create a mess if you either want to add an item to the list in a specific place, or if you want to take an item off the list but leave it in the middle of the list.

Lists are created using the tag, <ol>, for an ordered list, or <ul> for an unordered list.  Each item on the list is given the tag <li>.  So, if you want to make something a part of the list, you put the <li> tag before it and the </li> tag after it.

Conversely, if you have an item included in the list that should not be, you would look for these codes in front of and after the item and remove them.  This should remove the "bullet" or number preceding the item.

Let's try it here:

My favorite movies:

•  
• Aladdin
• The Lion King
• Pocahontas
• The Jungle Book
• 101 Dalmations

Wasn't that easy?

Now try adding an item.
