So I am taking a web-design course. I am happy about it, not so happy about how long it takes just to make one page. It really makes you appreciate a favorite website even more. Anyways, I don't want to drone on too long but I am in bit of pickle. Our Professor provided us with a in-depth tutorial to get us started, but he on purpose I might add, neglected to tell or direct us directions to create a list that would look like this:

                            Connie Fused
                               a.
                               b.
                               c.

Does anyone here know which html code I would need to do this. Forgive me if this is the wrong section.

You're looking to create a table or a list.  Either would work.

This belongs in Elliquiy U, I'll move it shortly.

There are two types of lists, and like Hunter said you can also use tables.

Unordered lists:

Connie Fused<br />
<ul>
<li>a.</li>
<li>b.</li>
<li>c.</li>
</ul>


And ordered lists:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_ol.asp


Connie Fused<br />
<ol>
<li>a.</li>
<li>b.</li>
<li>c.</li>
</ol>


There are various style elements for getting things to look the way you want.

Well I guess I would be using the table tags then. But I don't understand if the thing I am to make is not a spreadsheet why would I need to use a table tag?

Vekseid

Err, to be more specific, you'd use the type tag.


Connie Fused<br />
<ol type="a">
<li>This would have 'a.' before it</li>
<li>'b.'</li>
<li>'c.'</li>
</ol>


Do remember that the 'type' attribute is depreciated, though.

Mistiq

That makes what I some ot the other stuff I read on doing that make sense. This will be simple now, I just need to stop being a bum and just do it.

Thank yall.
