The LI Element: List Items

The <LI> Element: List Items

You use <LI> elements to create list items; you place <LI> elements inside <OL> and <UL> elements, one for each item in the list. You can find the JavaScript properties for the <LI> element in Table 14.5. Remember that JavaScript's core HTML properties, methods , and events, which we covered in Chapters 5 and 6, apply to this element as well.

Table 14.5. The Properties of the <LI> Elements (See Chapters 5 and 6 for the JavaScript core HTML properties, methods, and events that also apply to this element.)

Property	NS2	NS3	NS4	NS6	IE3a	IE3b	IE4	IE5	IE5.5	IE6
type				x			x	x	x	x
	Read/write
	This property specifies the label for the list item, and can be set to any type value for <OL> and <UL> elements. See Tables 14.3 and 14.4.
value				x			x	x	x	x
	Read/write
	In an ordered list, the value is the number or letter that labels the list item. Note that changing the value of an item also changes the numbering/lettering of all following items.
