I wouldn't be too surprised to discover that a little javascript could manipulate the numbering.
Also, and I'll probably get lynched for this but the following should also work in a transiational doctype. <ol> <li value=40></li> ... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Somaya Langley Sent: Wednesday, 23 November 2005 4:08 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] starting ordered lists from a number other than 1 Hi All - I'm putting together a template for a contents list page for the National Library of Australia's online pictures delivery system. We need to start an ordered list on a page from a number other than 1, as the lists could be quite long and so will be chunked into a set per page. There are two solutions... the first, for example: <ol start="40"> <li> <div>text info in here</div> </li> ... or, the second: <ol> <li> <div>number inserted in here from our digital content management system</div> <div>text info in here</div> </li> ... While the first would be more elegant, start is now a depricated attribute. What do people suggest?
