Inside JavaScript

The <LI> Element: List Items

You use <LI> elements to create list items; you place <LI> elements inside <OL> and <UL> elements, one for each item in the list. You can find the JavaScript properties for the <LI> element in Table 14.5. Remember that JavaScript's core HTML properties, methods , and events, which we covered in Chapters 5 and 6, apply to this element as well.
