| Element | DIR |
|---|
| Purpose | directory list |
|---|
| Description | This element encloses a directory list. The intent is that DIR creates lists of short items. Browsers would render this list in a series of columns. The appearance would therefore be more compact than a list made using LI.
However, the DIR element was never rendered differently in many browsers and was rarely used.
Use UL instead.
