Alternative to <li>

[malasorte]

Hello all,

Is there an alternative code to <li>, that will give the same graphic effect (a filled circle) but not requaires the use of <ul>, <ol>, etc. tags.

I want this:

<code>Some text<br>
<code>Some more text<br>

In can use <li> this way but the html doesen't validate...

Thanks!

Did you use the closing tag </li>?

<li>Some text</li>
<li>Some more text</li>

In theory, any element you apply the CSS:

display: list-item;
list-style-type: disc;

to will do what you want, but I doubt you'll get this to work cross-browser. Alternatively, use a background image. However, if the information you're displaying lends itself to a list, then list markup is what you should be using. Why not post your code, and maybe we can get it to validate.

Thanks all, I've solved the problem. I've used this little code: &#8226;
In browsers this appears like a small filled circle, exact the same effect that <li> has. And it's valid in HTML 4.01. Yey!

After two days work got all my pages validated, what a nice feeling! This little code was the last thing I needed for a succsesful validation
