Junior JavaScript

What is the difference between <ol>, <ul>, and <dl>?

  • <ol> = Ordered List (numbered)
  • <ul> = Unordered List (bulleted)
  • <dl> = Description List (term–definition pairs)

Example:

<ol>

<li>HTML</li>

<li>CSS</li>

</ol>

<ul>

<li>Apple</li>

<li>Banana</li>

</ul>

Follow me on LinkedIn:

<dl>

<dt>HTML</dt>

<dd>HyperText Markup Language</dd>

</dl>

Key Takeaway:

Choose list type based on how you want to present data.
