Name

TYPE — NN all IE all HTML 3.2

Synopsis

TYPE=”labelType"

Optional

The TYPE attribute provides some flexibility in how the leading symbol or sequence number is displayed in the browser. Values are divided into two groups, with one group each dedicated to OL and UL items. For an unordered list (UL), you can specify whether the leading symbol should be a disc, circle, or square; for an ordered list (OL), the choices are among letters (uppercase or lowercase), Roman numerals (uppercase or lowercase), or Arabic numerals. The TYPE attribute is deprecated in HTML 4.0 in favor of the list-style-type: style sheet attribute.

For no apparent reason, the square type of unordered list item displays as solid in Windows browsers and as hollow in Macintosh browsers.

Be aware that in current browser implementations, the TYPE attribute for a LI element sets the type for subsequent LI elements in the list unless overridden by a TYPE attribute setting in another LI element. In general, it is best to set the TYPE attribute of the OL or UL element and let that setting govern all nested elements.

Example

<LI TYPE="square">Chicken Curry

Value

When contained by a UL element, possible values are disc | circle | square. When contained by an OL element, possible values are A | a | I | i | 1. Sequencing is performed automatically as follows:

Type

Example

A

A, B, C, ...

a

a, b, c, ...

I

I, II, III, ...

i

i, ii, iii, ...

1

1, 2, 3, ...

Default

1 and disc.
