Hi Kevin, Headings in lists will validate. However as Matijs says all you need to do is style the list elements and remove the divs.
Kevin Work in progress includes: http://www.hotel-france-hotels.com http://www.hotels-uk-accommodation.co.uk <ol type="A"> <li><a href="a.pdf">First</a></li> <li class="margin_left_minus_40px"><b>Subheading</b></li> <li><a href="b.pdf">First</a></li> <li><a href="c.pdf">First</a></li> <li class="margin_left_minus_40px"><b>Subheading</b></li> <li><a href="d.pdf">First</a></li> <li><a href="e.pdf">First</a></li> </ol> From: Matijs Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 8:31 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Ordered List Best Practice If you're using a h3 inside a list, I kind of expect a h2 and a h1 to precede that... Is it really necessary to use a h3 or could you just style an ol or ul in the appropriate way?

Is there a best practice on trying to accomplish the desired look? (examples below) Here is the code with no validation issues but the two lines with "Subheading" will get a letter (not desired): <ol type="A"> <li><a href="a.pdf">First</a></li> <li> <div class="margin_left_minus_40px"> <h3>Subheading</h3> </div> </li> <li><a href="b.pdf">First</a></li> <li><a href="c.pdf">First</a></li> <li> <div class="margin_left_minus_40px"> <h3>Subheading</h3> </div> </li> <li><a href="d.pdf">First</a></li> <li><a href="e.pdf">First</a></li> </ol> In the following list I get the desired results in the browser but does not validate,(The tag:"div" is not allowed within: "ol"): <ol type="A"> <li><a href="a.pdf">First</a></li> <div class="margin_left_minus_40px"> <h3>Subheading</h3> </div> <li><a href="b.pdf">First</a></li> <li><a href="c.pdf">First</a></li> <div class="margin_left_minus_40px"> <h3>Subheading</h3> </div> <li><a href="d.pdf">First</a></li> <li><a href="e.pdf">First</a></li> </ol> I appreciate any advice, Kevin ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
