Hi
I'm trying to help my friends in a band, to recreate their old abandoned web page. The original was made in the old days when tables-for-layout was still a quite accepted method. They want to be able to edit the pages in a CMS, so the HTML code should probably be pretty simple.
Anyway, one of the pages, with sound samples, look something like this:
* Song number one - Traditional Buy
* Song two - Lennon/McCarthney our
* Song three - Hendrix CD!!
You get the idea. I wrapped it in code tags, in hopes it would show up with monospace fonts. The asterix' are actually bullet points, which the original designer inserted using an ugly code 'ampersand-hash-8226;'. As you can see, it resembles a table, but it is also a list with bullet points. Is there a currently-accepted way to do this in HTML? It's somehow a table, so I guess using html tables is OK, though I think most people would see it as a list, with one tab stop set for the song writer, and one set for the "buy our cd" part.
Is it possible to mix html table and list markup, or should I perhaps use tables and insert the bullet points manually somehow? Perhaps make an image of a bullet point, and using it as a background-image in the left table cells? What do you think?
