In HTML, that isn't illegal. You can't have a <ul> inside a <p>, but you don't have to have a </p> for your <p>. So when it hits the <ul> it is the same as if it was </p><ul>. When it its the </p> the user typed, then that is invalid, because the </p> that actually got used was inserted by implication as above. So this </p> doesn't match any <p> in the parse tree. -- David Dorward <http://blog.dorward.me.uk/> <http://dorward.me.uk/>
