One of the most effective ways of
structuring a website (or) its content is to use lists. A list represents
group items of same type. HTML provides three types of lists each has a
different use
® 1. Ordered list (or) Numbered list
® 2. Unordered list (or) Bullited
list
® 3. Definition list

Ordered List:
It represents a group of items to be
organized in structured way. i.e., ordered list has a number in front of each
item. Different numbering schemes can be specified depending upon reference.
To create ordered list we can use < ol > tag. It contains both
beginning and end tags. All the items in an ordered list must be enclosed
within < li > and < /li >.
Syntax: < ol >
< li > -----< /li >
<
li > -----< /li >
|
Eg: < html >
< head >
< title > ordered list < /title >
</head >
<body>
<h1> Fruits </h1 >
< ol >
< li > Apple </li>
< li > Banana </ li >
< li > Grapes < /li>
< li > Orange < /li >
< li > Cherry < /li >
</ol >
</body>
</html>
OutPut:
Attributes:
Type attribute: It changes the appearance of
ordered lists with these values 1/A/a/I/i. Default value is 1, 2, 3……,
Syntax: < ol type = “ A” >----- </ol >
Start attribute: It starts the ordered list with a
number other than ‘l’. This is only for numbers.
Syntax:< ol start = “ 5” > ------
< /ol >
2. Unordered List:
In
unordered list items are not organized in specific manner. Unordered list
has a bullet in front of each list item. In type attribute of unordered list
we have the values circle & square. The default value of unordered list
is ‘disc ( ס)’
Syntax: < ul type = “ square “ > ------ < /ul>
< ul >
< li >-----------</li>
< li > ----------< /li >
< /ul >
< ul >
< li >-----------</li>
< li > ----------< /li >
< /ul >
Eg: < html >
< head >
< title > unordered list < / title >
< / head >
< body >
< h1 > vegetables < /h1 >
< ul >
< li > Potato </li>
< li > Sweet potato < /li >
< li > Carrot </li >
</ul >
</body >
< /html >
OutPut:
< head >
< title > unordered list < / title >
< / head >
< body >
< h1 > vegetables < /h1 >
< ul >
< li > Potato </li>
< li > Sweet potato < /li >
< li > Carrot </li >
</ul >
</body >
< /html >
OutPut:
Definition Lists:
In definition list it is not a list of
items like above lists. It organizes a list of definition term’s and their
explanations in pair.
Definition list starts with
In <dl> tag we insert definition terms using ‘<dt>’ tag and ‘</dt>’ is optional, and write description using ‘<dd>’ tag.
In definition list each item takes a
new line and each description takes new line without using ‘<br>’ tag.
Eg: < html >
< head >
< title > Definition list </title >
< /head >
< body > bgcolour = “ violet” >
< h1 > Definitions </h1>
< dl >
< dt > HTML
< dd > HTML stands for hyper text
Markup language, used to design web pages. It was developed by ‘Tim Berne’s Lee in 1980.HTML is not programming language it is simply a web designing language.
< dt > XML
< dd > XML stands for extensible markup language. It is used to store data. It can be used in different ways. The power of XML comes from allowing the designee to specify their own tags to meet their needs.
< dt > Java script
< dd > Java script is the most popular scripting language over internet. useful to create DHTML undefinedDynamic HTML) pages and client side valitations.
