Re: Ordered Lists

I now see what happened!

The original document had

<ol>
<li><a href="Camping/index">Camping</a></li>
 <ol>
 <li><a href="Camping/wawbeek">Camp Wawbeek</a></li>
  <ol>

And was invalid because ol was had another ol as content

When you removed the end tags the validator put them in the correct places
<ol>
<li><a href="Camping/index">Camping</a>
 <ol>
 <li><a href="Camping/wawbeek">Camp Wawbeek</a>
  <ol>

Check the box marked show parse tree to see how the validator views your
document. Note it folds every thing to uppercase AND puts in the closing LI
tags in the correct places!
