Question

Using unordered list <ul> tags inside <div> creates trouble for me and I am looking for alternatives.

firstpage.para1=   <ul><li>item1<li/><//ul> 
secondpage.para1=   This is simple para,not a list.

Problem is : my list is actually defined in a spring properties file
and dynamically resovled in a JSP file using

<div id="somestyle">
<spring:message code={pagename}."para1">
</div>

Since {pagename} can have any value, I cant change code.I cant think of any alternative.
I use to divide whole page into left and right columns.
Left side has some image and right side has this para1.
Should I find alternativ of <div>?

Answer 1

My code detects html tags in messages from properties file and rendering it.
I dont have htmlEscape=”false” set but it shows list of separate lines.
Problem is -incorrect rendering(will not show bullets,wrong font ) as it is being used inside .

Now i have to use to divide whole screen into left and right sides so i cant avoid

<div style="width:60%;float:right;"> 
<p><spring:message code="${pageName}.para.1" htmlEscape="false"/></p>

</div> 

and my message ${pageName}.para.1 is dynamically coming from properties file So it could have html tags or not.
