the unordered list...

Post by Charles256 »

Am I the only one that still uses this thing? I got three UL's deep last night while doing features for my game... I had forgotten how pretty UL's are...does anyone else still use them?? If not, what do you use instead?

How would you represent a list otherwise... Last months/years i've seen lots of people that decided to use it (in combination with css) in order to generate sexy menu's (=a list with available items).

true true... i really got to pick up a CSS book. I know only the basics and as it turns out you can do some nifty things with CSS....not to mention cleaner code (IMO) and quicker load times... : wistful sigh:

Almost all of my nav lists and link lists are ULs. In fact there are quite a few things you can do with them, including menus and tabs.
