now i feel stupid, bar the malformed closing </li>, my example was written correctly, compared to my actual script! i didnt check it properly, i was using the <em> tag as well for the titles so i forgot to put the <li></li> on the outside of the <em>'s my code was reading <em>blah blah title</em> instead of <li><em>blah blah title</em></li> thats why it wasn't numbered in the <ol> sorry for wasting your time

the results im getting are 1.title for bullets bullet 1 bullet 2 second title for bullets bullet 1 bullet 2 third title for bullets bullet 1 bullet 2 only the first title is numbered. oops didn't see malformed closing </li>. its only an example code but its layed out the same way that im trying to use.

sorry i forgot to tell you what result im after: 1.title for bullets bullet 1 bullet 2 2.second title for bullets bullet 1 bullet 2 3.third title for bullets bullet 1 bullet 2

im new to html, so this might be a rookie mistake but why isnt this giving me the results im wanting <div> <ol> <li>first tile of bullets</li> <ul> <li>bullet 1</li> <li>bullet 2</li> </ul> <li>second title for bullets</li> <ul> <li>bullet 1</li> <li>bullet 2</li> </ul> <li>third title for bullets</li> <ul> <li>bullet 1</li> <li>bullet 2<li> </ul> </ol> </div>

ok cool, im adding you now

im wanting to make something similar to the pictures you posted of 'SNITCH' just wanting to learn how to create my own menu boxes, backgrounds, logo etc.....

i might already own a cracked version of photoshop, but even if i did, i wouldnt know how to create graphix from scratch... only fix up photos! i was told to steer clear of w3schools apparently there is alot of misinformation there..... i might download GIMP unless anyone knows of a tutorial on how to create graphix on photoshop...

oh i also forgot to ask can you recommend any decent free image/graphix creators? so i can make menu's, backgrounds etc easily?

cheers for your advice and examples. i was advised to get the book - CSS-the missing manual. which i downloaded from amazon yesterday. its extremely in depth and it may even have a section later on in the book about <div>'s but im currently on page 113 of 456 and the question has been buggin me. so rather than reading the remaining 300+ pages to find out it doesnt even mention it would just do my nut in! so i thought id just ask and save myself hours of reading and disappointment if it is not explained in the book. i think im gettin the hand of it now, i can make a basic style sheet, with text formatting, backgrounds etc ...yadda yadda.... i think i understand the purpose of a <div> tag now, i guess i'll be better off going away and playing around with it and see what i can and can't do with it! thanks again

iv been teaching myself over roughly 16 hours in the last 2 days HTML and CSS. none of the tutorials i have used have explained the uses of the following tag <div></div> can anyone tell me what this tag is used for most often or what you mostly use it for as tutorials dont give an in depth explaination on how to use it. :confused: thanks

thank you for that, i am now downloading "CSS: the missing manual" to my kindle for PC! cheers for the recommendations

i have found a site dedicated to teaching HTML and CSS! http://www.html.net/ obvious really lol

anyone have any suggestions for tutorials to learn HTML and CSS?

YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! thank you so much, you have saved me soooo much hassle!

i think i'll do just that, any recommendations on sites to learn html and CSS. to learn PHP iv been using w3schools. are web tutorials the best way to go about learning? i'll definitely be doing everything you have mentioned previously! and i will scrap what i have started but not completely!
