HTML / CSS / JavaScript Tutorial

HTML Element: <ul>

[this page | pdf | back links]

The HTML <ul> element indicates an unordered list. Inside the <ul> element should be one or more <li> elements identifying each entry in the unordered list.

 

The attributes it can take are HTML global attributes and HTML event attributes.

 

It used to support the compact and type attributes, but these are no longer supported by HTML 5.

 

To create or access such an element in JavaScript see here. The corresponding HTML DOM object supports standard DOM properties and methods. The default style applicable to this element is shown here.
