HTML Tag <DIR>
HTML Tag <DIR>
<DIR> Contains a directory list. Use the <LI> tag to indicate list items within the list. Use <UL>, rather than this deprecated tag.
Attribute of <DIR> Tag
CLASS
Indicates which style class applies to the <dir> element.
<DIR CLASS="casual">
<LI>Apples
<LI>Kiwis
<LI>Mangos
<LI>Oranges
</DIR>
Possible Values
Any Class name that you define.

<DIR COMPACT>ram is a good boy
</DIR>
Possible Values

Any Id Name That you define.

TITLE
Specifies text assigned to the tag. You might use this attribute for context-sensitive help within the document. Browsers may use this to show tool tips over the directory list.
