I don't know if there's an HTML for Dummies book out there, but I'm losing my mind! I do a search on how to write something in html and I get back a VERY techy answer. All I want to know is: When I"m making a bulleted list and I have a bullet , can I then make a secondary list with different bullets that indent further from the first set of bullet points? Something like this:


* Steak
* Oranges
* Onions
*Red ones
* Cornbread
* Butter
*Unsalted

Lets say I want another bullet under the Butter that indents further and says "unsalted" ANY help would be appreciated and please, I'm just learning, so if possible to answer in a plain and simple manner, it would be much appreciated.

    • Oranges

    • Apples


  • Vegetables

It does no longer be straightforward HTML. nicely, it truly is person-friendly, regardless of the undeniable fact that it is not HTML. you will would desire to place in writing Javascript code to generate it. additionally, how is the drop down checklist going to be populated? Is it a static checklist that gets manually as much as date, or is it dynamically as much as date every time a clean e-e book is available? If this is the latter, then you definately'll additionally choose server component coding as nicely.

There are tons of simple and basic html tutorials and lists of code online today. They're pretty easy to understand and allow you to start creating basic web pages. And creating bulleted lists and indenting them is pretty basic.
Just type in html in the Yahoo search box or check out my links below and you'll have more tutorials and simple lists of html than you'll know what to do with.

as far as indenting, you might want to get an html editor (see my description of html editors below).

some suggestions for websites to visit:
webmonkey html cheat sheet is good
html goodies is also good

There is a Yahoo directory page with a good collection and short list of some good sites that just list the html tags you'll need to create the bulleted list and indentation that you want.
Here's the link:
http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Data_Formats/HTML/Tags_and_Codes/

You can also go to html guide and tutorials page for some more websites.
http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Data_Formats/HTML/Guides_and_Tutorials/

Then there's the home page, the mother of all sources for html, and has everything you could possibly want to know about html:
http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Data_Formats/HTML/

If you have seen an example of what you are looking for on another page, you can also try something a little different. Just go to page where the list is, and then click on "view" on your browser's toolbar (it's right next to "file" and "edit"). On the drop down menu below "view", click on source. This allows you see the code that was used in creating that page (except perhaps if it's on a frames type web page). As long as the code is generic (without any reference to a company or person creating the page), you can just copy and paste the code you need onto your page to create the bulleted list you are imagining.

Have you also tried getting an HTML editor like MS Frontpage? It lets you create the page or effect you want without having to type all that code. You just type out the page the way you want it to be, just like in MS Word, only, because MS Frontpage is an html editor, it is creating the page as a webpage and not a word document. You could probably download a shareware version of an html editor and see if it helps you out. MS Frontpage allows you to work on a page on both an html view and a standard view (preview type ms word page) and lets you see what the page will look like on the web. It allows you to move and create large blocks of code without ever having to type any html code.

So, by using an html editor, you could just type out the page as you like it (including indentation) and you don't have to type the code. It'll also allows you to see what the code looks like in the code view, in case you need to tweek it, or just see what it looks like.

Well, hope all this information helps you out and is plain enough to understand. :)
