Information

Just unordered and ordered lists arranged in three columns using nothing more than css.

This method makes use of a definition list containing unordered lists for the top example, and ordered lists for the bottom example.

The idea of placing unordered and ordered lists within a definition list is discussed and promoted by w3c.org so it must be 'valid'.

This method also allows you to easily add a title to your list.

Because we can no longer specify a 'start' number for our ordered list I have used an alternative css method, BUT only Opera and FF v1.5 Beta 1 understand.

There really should be a css alternative to 'start='.
