compact | NN 6 IE 4 DOM 1 |
Read/Write | |
When set to true, the compact property should instruct the browser to render items in the list in a more compact format. This property has no effect in mainstream browsers. |
|
Example | |
document.getElementById("myOL").compact = true; |
|
Value | |
Boolean value: true | false. |
|
Default | |
false |
start | NN 6 IE 4 DOM 1 |
Read/Write | |
Indicates the starting number for the sequence of items in the ol element. This is convenient when a sequence of items must be disturbed by running body text. While the value is a number, the corresponding Arabic numeral, Roman numeral, or alphabet letter renders the value. When no value is set as an attribute, Netscape 6 defaults the property value to -1. |
|
Example | |
document.getElementById("sublist2").start = 6; |
|
Value | |
Integer. |
|
Default | |
1 (IE); -1 (Netscape 6). |
