[DJW:] The definitive place is the DTD, taken in this case from the HTML 4.01 specification (PDF version) - <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html> for the HTML verson: <!ENTITY % list "UL | OL"> ... <!ENTITY % block "P | %heading; | %list; | %preformatted; | DL | DIV | NOSCRIPT | BLOCKQUOTE | FORM | HR | TABLE | FIELDSET | ADDRESS"> [DJW:] It's defnitely a block element. > The reason I ask (off topic) is because I notice strange behavior (in IE > and > Netscape) with lists when there is an item floated to the left of the > list, and > I wanted to get a better understanding of where the list marker (the disc, > etc.) > fits into the picture, so that I might find a work around for existing > agents > that display it incorrectly. [DJW:] You might want to note that list items are treated as a special case in CSS, i.e. neither block nor inline.
