I came accross a very strange error when I ran a validation on a page of mine using the W3C Validation Service. I used a simple nested unordered list, which according to the specification [2] is quite alright: "Lists may also be nested:" My list was in principle constructed as follows: <ul> <li>Heading</li> <ul> <li>Subitem</li> <li>Subitem</li> </ul> </ul> The Validation Report said: Error at line 75: <ul> document type does not allow element "UL" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag The correct way to nest lists is: <ul> <li>Heading <ul> <li>Subitem</li> <li>Subitem</li> </ul> </li> </ul> In other words, the entire nested list is a part of the first list's first item. Attempting to validate this code will pass. -Mike Vitale mvitale@wallace.com <mailto:mvitale@wallace.com>
