I know this should be in the technology forum but i thought id get a quicker response if i posted here...
HTML
Ive been having a problem. Im pretty new so dont think i have problems for asking such a simple question.

I want a list but i just want it to be a normal list without numbers or bullets or definitions.

Example:
Cake
Cakey goodness
why to eat cake
I cant get it to just list items like that. If i put a <p> in it will do this:

Cake

Cakey goodness

why to eat cake.

Arrgg. HELP? is there another type of list that has no numbers/bullets/definitions?

No.

Code: 
<ul style="list-style-type: none;">
  <li>cake</li>
  <li>banana</li>
  <li>koala</li>
  <li>cacti</li>
  <li>walrus</li>
</ul>


It's still a list, just minus the bullets. Use more CSS is you want to edit any other parts of your list.

Also, it'd be nice if you closed your br's, like this: <br />

He wanted HTML, not CSS, and not XHTML [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

And the way I posted is technically more supported than CSS, although only by a tiny minority.

<ul> <ol> and <li> are std. HTML.

This is why there is no standardization on the web. We have to make sure all of our browsers work with fugly, depreciated methods of coding.

Tsukasa's answer is the best. You can all go home and eat you popcorn now. Yes. That is all.

Malus, having clean code is one thing... having exacting code is another. What about browsers that cant handle pure xhtml spec, like IE? Or browsers that cant handle CSS?


Im all for web standards, but holding everyone to an extreme isnt the solution. I mean, HTML is hard enough to learn as is for beginners, you want to force-feed them XHTML and CSS too?
