XHTML lists?

hi there.. i'm trying to nest three unordered lists into one ordered list. In my opinion the coding should be done the following way: <ol> <li>..........</li> <ul> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> </ul> <li>..........</li> <ul> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> </ul> <li>..........</li> <ul> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> </ul> </ol> Please tell me if i'm correct...if not how it should be?

1. Looks good to me! No problem with nesting lists.
2. That's incorrect. Lists (ordered and unordered) will only accept a List Item as their child element. If you want to nest an unordered list inside an ordered list, the former has to be a child of a list item: <ol>   <li>An ordered List Item</li>   <li>An ordered List Item     <ul>       <li>An unordered List Item</li>     </ul>   </li> </ol> Following the same principle, that nested unordered list can have another unordered list nested in it provided that the second list is a child element of the first one's list item. So this is wrong: <ol>   <li>A list item</li>   <ul>     <li>Something</li>   </ul>   <li>Another item</li> </ol>
3. Remove <li></li> from the <ol> tag. This way you are creating 3 ordered lists and 3 un-ordered lists. Here is the code <ol> <li>..........</li> <ul type="square"> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> </ul> <ul> <ul> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> </ul> </ul> <ul> <ul> <ul> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ol> For tutorials log on to http://gateway2internet.com
4. Here is the valild format for you to do so, <ol> <li>.......... <ul> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> </ul> </li> <li>.......... <ul> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> </ul> </li> <li>.......... <ul> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> <li>.............</li> </ul> </li> </ol>
