List items in Firefox and Netscape

[dcjones]

Hi All.

Can anyone answer this, if I create a list of items like so:

!!<<li>Hats and gloves</li>>!!
!!<<li>Body protectors</li>>!!
!!<<li>Boots</li>>!!
!!<<li>Jodhpurs and breeches</li>>!!
!!<<li>Show Jackets and shirts</li>>!!
!!<<li>Chaps</li>>!!
!!<<li>Fluorescent clothing</li>>!!
!!<<li>Childrens</li>>!!

why when viewed with Firefox or Netscape I get a <BR> after each </li>!! which makes the list lokk untidy.


Many thanks

I dont know why the line breaks are being inserted, nor why it only happens in Firefox, but I would try this...

- strip all the unnecessary actinic HTML tags, and you need to tell it what type of list it is (either <UL> for Unordered list(bullet points) or <OL> for Ordered list (numbers)) like so....

!!<
<ul>
<li>Hats and gloves</li>
<li>Body protectors</li>
<li>Boots</li>
<li>Jodhpurs and breeches</li>
<li>Show Jackets and shirts</li>
<li>Chaps</li>
<li>Fluorescent clothing</li>
<li>Childrens</li>
</ul>
>!!

You are getting the line breaks as you were putting each on a new line - surrounding each line with the !!<...>!! code ... IE shows this incorrectly but as you had intended - Firefox et al are not as forgiving about errors as IE.

Using the full <ul> structure as above will give the desired results.
