UL - Unordered list

This element is also available in our updated HTML 4 reference. Some characteristics may have changed.

Appearance:	<UL> </UL>
Attributes:	TYPE=disc\|square\|circle, COMPACT
Contents:	LI.
May occur in:	BODY, DIV, CENTER, BLOCKQUOTE, FORM, TH, TD and DD, LI.

The UL element indicates an unordered list. Every item in a list is marked with LI, and usually appears with a bullet of some sort in front of it. If you need numbering, use OL for an ordered list.

The type of bullet can be suggested with the TYPE attribute. You have three possible styles: "disc" for a closed bullet, "square" for an open square and "circle" for an open bullet. The COMPACT attribute is used to indicate that the list items are short, so the browser can render the list more compact. For example, it could put more than one item on a line.

Notes:

Do not put anything but LI list items inside an UL.
The COMPACT attribute is not widely implemented.
Not all browsers support the TYPE attribute, so if you use it, make sure the list still "works" without it.
