Ul and ol can only have li elements as children. And what you're doing seems to be trying to insert one list inside another as a list item, so why not put that nested list inside a new list item (owned by the containing list, containing the nested list)? (That's the way most people make those CSS drop-down hierarchical menus, too.)	[reply]
