Give the attribute of UL element of HTML? What are the values used for that attribute? How will these values look on a
browser?
Answers
Answer:
This attribute sets the bullet style for the list. The values defined under HTML3.2 and the transitional version of HTML 4.0/4.01 are:
circle
disc
square
A fourth bullet type has been defined in the WebTV interface, but not all browsers support it: triangle.
If not present and if no CSS list-style-type property applies to the element, the user agent selects a bullet type depending on the nesting level of the list.
Explanation:
The <ul> element is for grouping a collection of items that do not have a numerical ordering, and their order in the list is meaningless. Typically, unordered-list items are displayed with a bullet, which can be of several forms, like a dot, a circle, or a square. The bullet style is not defined in the HTML description of the page, but in its associated CSS, using the list-style-type property.
The <ul> and <ol> elements may be nested as deeply as desired. Moreover, the nested lists may alternate between <ol> and <ul> without restriction.
The <ol> and <ul> elements both represent a list of items. They differ in that, with the <ol> element, the order is meaningful. As a rule of thumb to determine which one to use, try changing the order of the list items; if the meaning is changed, the <ol> element should be used, otherwise you can use <ul>.
