[Nfb-web] html question

[Stanzel, Susan - FSA, Kansas City, MO]

Tommy,

That is a wonderful idea. Thank you so much. Where did you learn everything? I am really just a beginner with all this. I am trying to understand where Java Server pages fit, CSS and not to mention Java code. I don't think my head is big enough for all this.

Hi, Susie.

For glossaries and the like, I prefer to use HTML definition lists, as
follows:

<dl>
<dt>
Term1
</dt>
<dd>
Definition1
</dd>
<dt>
Term2
</dt>
<dd>
Definition2
</dd>
</dl>

This will output the results in a visually sensible and readable fashion without your having to fuss with tables. The definition is on a separate line following the term and indented.

You can use the <strong> tag to make the term appear in bold, or use CSS for further styling. Since you're studying something else, you may not want to fuss with CSS, though. I'm a nut for the stuff, so couldn't resist mentioning it. /smile/

hth,

Tami

I had the name in bold and the definition simply followed. Do you think I should put it in a table? If so, what would be the simplest way to do it.
