Hi!
Here is my problem :
I have a very long legal document to put on the web. That document should respect that format:

TITLE
1. bla bla bla
TITLE
2. bla bla bla
TITLE
3. bla bla bla
* subbla subbla subbla
TITLE
4. bla bla bla
5. bla bla bla
* subbla subbla subbla
TITLE
6. bla bla bla.
* 6.1 subbla subbla subbla;
* 6.2subbla subbla subbla

I want to use the ordered list <ol> and define the TITLE as H2 elements. The problem I have is if I do this, I would have to rely on the deprecated element â€œstartâ€ and â€œvalueâ€ which I would like to avoid. I could have use the counter-increment property but it doesn't work in IE 6 and I need this page to be cross-browser compatible.
Do you know how I can break my ordered list with those <h2> while staying cross-browser compatible and validing strict HTML?

***
here is my actual code (it works but not perfect as I want to get rid of the start= element) :
***

/**css**/
#main h2{font-weight:bold; font-size:14px; padding:0px; text-transform:capitalize;}

#main ol {list-style-type: decimal}
#main ol li{padding:5px 0px 5px 0px; margin:0px;}		

#main ul.subList{padding:0px; margin:0px; list-style-type:none; list-style-position: inside;}
#main ul.subList li{padding:5px 0px 5px 0px; margin:0px; list-style: none;}


/**html**/

<div id=\"main\">
	<h2>TITLE</h2>																
		<ol>
			<li>bla bla bla</li>
			<li>bla bla bla</li>
		</ol>								
	<h2>TITLE</h2>																
		<ol start=\"3\">
			<li>bla bla bla</li>
		</ol>
	<h2>TITLE</h2>
		<ol start=\"4\">
			<li>bla bla bla</li>
				<ul>
					<li>subbla subbla subbla</li>
				</ul>
		</ol>
	<h2>TITLE</h2>
		<ol start=\"5\">
			<li>bla bla bla</li>
			<li>bla bla bla</li>
				<ul>
					<li>subbla subbla subbla</li>
				</ul>
		</ol>
	<h2>TITLE</h2>
		<ol start=\"7\">
			<li>bla bla bla</li>
				<ul class=\"subList\">
					<li>7.1 subbla subbla subbla</li>
					<li>7.2 subbla subbla subbla</li>
				</ul>
		</ol>
</div>

Any help?

Better use defenitionlists i think:



<dl>
 <dt>Title</dt>
 <dd>1. blabla</dd>
 <dt>Title</dt>
 <dd>2. blabla</dd>
 <dt>Title</dt>
 <dd>3. blabla</dd>	
 <dd>*subbla subbla subbla</dd>
</dl>
