Re: [WSG] Descending Ordered List
According to the W3C Guidelines [1] you can using the counter-increment:The 'counter-increment' property accepts one or more names of counters (identifiers), each one optionally followed by an integer. The integer indicates by how much the counter is incremented for every occurrence of the element. The default increment is 1. Zero and negative integers are allowed.But obviously for a cross browser solution, Thierry's example would be best.[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#counters On 30/05/06, Thierry Koblentz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know how to make an ordered list descending (10,9,8,7...)?

It seems, unfortunately, I'm back to square one. Assigning values as Thierry suggested did work, but the validator didn't like value being applied to the list item element. :-( Sincerely, Mike Cherim http://green-beast.com/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] Descending Ordered List
Thank you. It seems, unfortunately, I'm back to square one. Assigning values as Thierry suggested did work, but the validator didn't like value being applied to the list item element. :-( Sorry Mike, I knew the start attribute was deprecated, but didn't know value was out too. What about using the DOM to loop through the list items and plug a number in each one? http://www.tjkdesign.com/lab/ul.asp --- Regards, Thierry | www.TJKDesign.com ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
