Now it does not. The HTML 4.1 spec at
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html#type-values
says use CSS instead.
These
<ol type="a">
<ol type="A">
<ol type="i">
used to work in the Centos 5 supplied Firefox. Now OL produce digits
instead.
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_ol_type.asp states
"Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5
The type attribute of the <ol> element is no longer deprecated in
HTML5."
i.e. no longer deprecated - implies it is either removed and not allowed
or supported any more, or it has moved from being deprecated to valid
.... poor choice of wording.
just beware - w3schools.com is not authoritative on www / html / css -
they hold a useful domain name that google insists on showing at or near
the top of every search.
If something is "deprecated" it is supposed to work until it is
withdrawn or cancelled.
Is Firefox's inability to render <ol type="a"> a bug or a very annoying
irritation especially as I have hundreds of hand-coded pages using it ?
:-(
