Re: Unordered List

Hello again,

I'd like to take this opportunity to answer my own question, and I'd like to
thank Maria for posting the link to www.netmechanic.com , which is where I
found my answer.

I hope this helps someone else...

When creating an unordered list in an HTML 4.0 document, the FONT TAGS, must
be placed as follows (there is no need to close the <li> tag in an HTML 4.0
doc):

 <ul>
  <li><FONT FACE="whatever">blah blah</FONT>
  <li><FONT FACE="whatever">blah blah</FONT>
  <li><FONT FACE="whatever">blah blah</FONT>
  <li><FONT FACE="whatever">blah blah</FONT>
   <ul>
    <li><FONT FACE="whatever">blah blah</FONT>
    <li><FONT FACE="whatever">blah blah</FONT>
    <li><FONT FACE="whatever">blah blah</FONT>
   </ul>
 </ul>

CSS, here I come...

Thanks to all who took the time to respond --I appreciate your input,
Lauren
