Q. How can we use Ordered Lists?

Lists having numbered items are termed as ordered lists. They are used when items in the list have a natural order. They can also be used when number of items in the list needs to be known at a glance. To make an ordered list, simply change <UL> tag to <OL>.

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>EXPERTSMIND.COM</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">

What I want for my birthday

<OL>

<LI>a big red truck</LI>

<LI>a toy train</LI>

<LI>a Barbie doll</LI>

<LI>a drum set</LI>

<LI>binoculars</LI>

<LI>a month's extra pocket money</LI>

</OL>

</BODY>

</HTML>

Syntax of the <OL> tag is:

<OL TYPE="" START=""> where TYPE= "1", "a", "A", "i", "I" and START is the first item number.

<LI> </LI>

</OL>

Type of the numbering format desired must be specified as the value of TYPE attribute. The possible types are displayed above in syntax. Numbering starts from START attribute's value.
