An "ol" element is block level element that can be used to define an ordered list, where items are displayed with leading sequential numbers. Here are basic rules about "ol" elements:
- "ol" elements are block level elements.
- "ol" elements can not have text contents.
- An "ol" element must have one or more "li" elements as sub-elements.
- Each "li" element will be displayed by browsers as a paragraph with a leading number to represent the position of this "li" element in its parent "ol" element.
Below is a good tutorial example of "ol" elements:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Ordered Lists</title> </head> <body> <p>The most visited sites in 'Computers' category:</p> <ol> <li>Yahoo! - www.yahoo.com</li> <li>Google - www.google.com</li> <li>MSN - www.msn.com</li> </ol> </body> </html>
If you save the above document as ordered_list.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see a list of items with leading sequential numbers
as shown below:
