    Ordered List: Display letters instead of numbers
    How can I use lower case letters, instead of numbers, in an ordered list?

    When I use this code for my ordered list it displays numbers:

    Code:

          <ol>
            <li>first thing on the list</li>
            <li>second thing on the list  </li>
          </ol>

    Thanks!

    You use the Type attribute Setting a Type of "a".

    This site has more details:

    Hmm. Looks like I have to use style sheets to do what I want. I don't know a style sheet from a bed sheet :o

    Can't I just insert a tag or two into the code to tell it to use abc instead of 123?

    Try:

    <OL Type = "a">
