Hi,

Any browser idiosyncrasy with <dl>? I'm hoping none exist with tables.

PS
Thanks for the many viable solutions

And please, please, if using a table remember to include row and column
scope. On a table as small as this it is not really essential, but once the
table grows (or if served from a database where it could be any size) good
column and row headings with scope attributes are essential.


<table summary="pretty bazillion product">
        <caption>My Product</caption>
        <tbody>
                <tr>
                        <th scope="rows">Product Number</th>
                        <td>12334</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                        <th scope="rows">Product Description</th>
                        <td>pretty</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                        <th scope="rows">Product Cost</th>
                        <td>bazillion</td>
                </tr>
        </tbody>
</table>

In the following name/value listing what would be the most semantic
mark-up.

Product Name:
 Product Number:
  Product Description:
  Product Cost:

I'd probably use a definition list:

<dl>
   <dt>My Product</dt>
   <dd>Product Number: 123456</dd>
   <dd>
     <p>Product Description:</p>
     <p>This is my product... Ain't it perty?</p>
   </dd>
   <dd>MSRP: $1 Bazillion (will trade for 4x4 in good condition)</dd>
</dl>


How about a table? They're not always evil...

<table summary="pretty bazillion product">
<caption>My Product</caption>
<tbody>
<tr><th>Product Number</th><td>12334</td></tr>
<tr><th>Product Description</th><td>pretty</td></tr>
<tr><th>Product Cost</th><td>bazillion</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

..and Lynx WILL render that table! :D
