Nested ULs, XHTML 1.0 and Validation errors

[Meg Singer]

Here's the deal. I am trying to get a page to validate
(http://www2.evansville.edu/libweb/ir...s/biology.html) and
the w3c validator does not like my nested ULs.

I've put <li></li> tags around all text that appears within the ULs
but this hasn't made any difference.

Any ideas?

I can guess what the problem is...

Yep, the only elements that can go inside <ul> is <li>.
If you want to nest <ul>s you need to place the inner <ul> inside an
<li>.

i.e.
<ul>
<li>
<ul>....</ul>
</li>
</ul>
