2 questions on the dl element

[aqw]

Hi!

Is this valid:

<dl>
<dt></dt>
<dt></dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd></dd>
</dl>

(2 dts and 2 dds)


Second question: Is dl always the structure to use when no other element is adapted?

Thanks!

I don't know. run it through the W3C validator and find out.

No. Your elements should reflect the structure of your content.

<dd></dd>

Yes. There is one name/value group with two "names" linked to two "values".

Second question: Is dl always the structure to use when no other element is adapted?

I don't understand this question. <dl> should be used when you have a list with name/value groups, otherwise not.
