Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

Name

dir

Synopsis

<dir>...</dir>

Deprecated. Creates a directory list consisting of list items (li). Directory lists were originally designed to display lists of files with short names, but they have been deprecated with the recommendation that unordered lists (ul) be used instead. Most browsers render directory lists as they do unordered lists (with bullets), although some use a multicolumn format.

Attributes

Core(id, class, style, title), Internationalization, Events

compact

Deprecated. Makes the list as small as possible. Few browsers support the compact attribute.
