    outlines

    My HTML book tells me the following code to create an outline:

    <OL type = I>
    <LI> First line
    <OL type = A>
    <LI>second line - indented one

    The problem is when I do a loop through a recordset of items I have retrieved from the database and try to add them this code:


    <OL type = 1>
    <LI> Item one
    <OL type = A>
    <LI> Sub item one
    <Li> sub item two
    <OL type = 1>
    <LI> sub sub item
    <LI>sub sub item 2
    <LI> sub item threee
    <OL type = 1>
    <LI>Item Two
    <OL type = A>
    <LI> sub item one for item two


    Gives me this result:

    1. Item One
    (space)space) A. subitem 1
    (space)space)B. subitem 2
    (space)(space)(space)1. sub sub item
    (space)(space)(space) 2. sub sub item 2
    (space)(space)(space)(space)A. subitem 3
    (space)(space)(space)(space)(space)1. Item two
    (space)(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)A. sub item one for item two

    ****space stands for indentation

    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. How do I create an outline in HTML. My book has left out the details of actually incrementing the main Roman Numeral(or number or whatever)


    Thanks,
    M

    Close the OL tags.

    Code:
    <html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <ol type="1">
      <li>Foo
      <ol type="A">
        <li>bar
      </ol>
      <li>Blah
    </ol>
  </body>
</html>

    Not off hand, but I'm sure there is a way with CSS.
