Part 1: Get Down With Markup
Chapter 1 Lists <br />Lists can be found on almost every page on the web. Lists of hyperlinks; lists of items in a shopping cart; lists of your favorite movies...even lists of navigation for entire websites. To some, list creation may seem arbitrary, but what we are going to explore is how to create lists and focus on the pros and cons of several common methods. Later, we will list several examples of how to spruce up ordinary lists and their pros and cons.
Let's Go Shopping <br />Originally, I was going to use a laundry list as an example for this chapter, but I quickly realized that I had no idea what items to include on such a list, so...for example's sake, let's use food!
Let's imagine that you need to put a food list on your own website. You may be confused as to why you should put a food list on your website. Well, this may be off topic. We just need a reason to start thinking about the list...
On the page, let’s say we want our list to look like… well, like a list — that is, a long vertical list with each item on its own line:
Apples
Spaghetti
Green Beans
Milk
Seems pretty simple, doesn't it? As with many aspects of web design and development, there are many different ways to achieve the same (or similar) results. As with all of the examples in this book, I'll present them from the perspective of the eXtensilble HyperText Markup Language (XHTML)—and make sure that the methods I choose use the correct markup syntax, following the standards set by the World Wild Web Consortium (W3C).
We can easily add a <br /> tag after each item, or we can use various checklist item tags to complete this task. Now let's look at 3 completely different methods and the characteristics of each method.
