Unordered Lists

Unordered Lists (bulleted lists) are container elements that have no inherent sequence to them. Although they do display in the order in which they are constructed in the HTML file, there is no numbering or other attribute of sequencing. The structure of an Unordered List is:

<UL>
</UL>

Each List Item in an Unordered List is defined by the List Item empty element. Thus, an Unordered List with two List Items (bullets) would be constructed as:

<UL>
<LI>This is the first item in the bulleted list. This item will continue until the next element.
<LI>This is the second item in the bulleted list.
</UL>

This would produce the following results:

• This is the first item in the bulleted list. This item will continue until the next HTML element.
• This is the second item in the bulleted list.

The common attribute for the Unordered List <UL> element is type, which defines the type of bullet to be used.

<UL type="list-type"

type = the type of bullet used, with valid values being:
       "disc" or "circle" or "square"
