Nesting <UL> lists

[rjoubert]

Which HTML syntax is correct when nesting unordered lists?

<UL>
<LI>Top Level List Item[red]</LI>[/red]
<UL>
<LI>Second level</LI>
</UL>
</UL>

OR...

<UL>
<LI>Top Level List Item
<UL>
<LI>Second level</LI>
</UL>
[red]</LI>[/red]
</UL>

Both seem to yield the same results, but I'm just wondering if one is more accepted.

The second is valid, the first is not. Because <ul> is not acceptable child of another <ul> but it can be a child of a <li> element. User agents usually render them the same because they "guess" you closed the li element at the wrong place.

Hi

[li]The second is the correct markup.[/li]

Only the second method validates...

I don't know...you managed to get both of your replies posted in the same minute that I posted my last one.
