					<td valign="top" colspan="2" class="description"><p>The <span class="literal">dd</span> element is a part of the
<span class="literal">dl</span>, <span class="literal">dt</span>, <span class="literal">dd</span>
triumvirate of elements used to create a definition list in a
document. The entire list is bracketed by the <span class="literal">dl</span>
element's tags. Each definition term is denoted by a
leading <span class="literal">dt</span> element tag, and the definition for the
term is denoted by a leading <span class="literal">dd</span> element tag. A
schematic of a definition list sequence for three items looks as
follows:
</p><p>A <span class="literal">dt</span> element is an inline element, whereas a
<span class="literal">dd</span> element can contain block-level content,
including bordered text, images, and other objects. End tags are
optional for both <span class="literal">dt</span> and <span class="literal">dd</span>
elements because the next start tag automatically signals the end of
the preceding element. The entire list, however, must close with an
end tag for the encapsulating <span class="literal">dl</span> element.
</p><p>Although the HTML specification forces no particular way of rendering
a definition list, Navigator and Internet Explorer are in agreement
in left-aligning a <span class="literal">dt</span> element and indenting any
<span class="literal">dd</span> element that follows it. No special font
formatting or visual elements are added by the browser, but you are
free (if not encouraged) to assign styles as you like. If you want to
stack multiple terms and/or definitions, you can place multiple
<span class="literal">dt</span> and/or <span class="literal">dd</span> elements right
after each other in the source code.
</p><p>Because HTML is being geared toward context-sensitive tagging, avoid
using definition lists strictly as a formatting trick (to get some
indented text). Use style sheets and adjustable margin settings to
accomplish formatting tasks.
</p><p>In Navigator 4, any styles assigned to <span class="literal">dt</span> and
<span class="literal">dd</span> elements by way of the
<span class="literal">class</span>, <span class="literal">id</span>, or
<span class="literal">style</span> attribute do not work. If you wish to assign
the same style attributes to both the <span class="literal">dt</span> and
<span class="literal">dd</span> elements, assign the style to the
<span class="literal">dl</span> element; otherwise, wrap each
<span class="literal">dt</span> and <span class="literal">dd</span> element with a
<span class="literal">span</span> element whose styles the nested
<span class="literal">dt</span> and <span class="literal">dd</span> elements inherit.
This workaround is observed in IE 4, although it is not necessary for
IE-only documents.
