<tr><td><li></li></td></tr><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
</table><br />
<br />
Does any one know how to get this to work<br />
:confused:<!--content-->Dump the table.<!--content-->can't dumped the table. what i displayed was just test code i was working on. the real deal is a table with multiple columns for a report like print out. I think i will just have to create a script to do what i want. I was just wondering if this was at all possible.<!--content-->Then put a complete list into each cell. What you have is not valid HTML.<!--content-->don't quite under what you mean by that. if i do what i think you are saying i will be in the same position of having all A's. Thanks i guess i just needed confirmation that this could be done my plain html. thanks. :)<!--content-->Table is used to present tabular data <br />
List is used to present ... well... a list<br />
<br />
You can have a table of lists or a list of tables; putting a list item by itself in a table cell makes no sense.<br />

Before you think "HTML" you need to understand what kind of data you have and what kind of logical presentation it requires.<!--content-->Originally posted by Vladdy <br />
