Hi Eric,
Another way you could go about this is to continue using the <ol> but hide the numbers through CSS:
ol { list-style: none; } Then you could prepend the number with the hyphen to each <li> Inside a document ready, you could do something like this (untested): $('li').each(function(index) { $(this).prepend( (index+1998) + ' - '); }); --Karl _________________ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On May 17, 2008, at 2:00 PM, EricC wrote:
Thank you so much for this example. It works quite well on the content of the <li> but it does not modify the behavior of the <ol> meaning that period stays. Ah well I thought it was a long shot, I guess I am going with a table, lol.
