Multiple-level Table of Contents

I'm trying to figure out which makes the most semantic sense for a
Table of Contents.

Here is a sample of the ToC (each line is a link to a document):

Windows Operating System
Supported Versions
Version Comparison

Using Your Computer
Logging In with Your Domain Account
Maintaining Your Roaming Profile
Administrative Accounts
Dangers of Running as an Administrator
Running Individual Programs as an Administrator
Group Administrative Account Policy
Problems with Saving Your Data on a Hard Drive

etc...

Is this best achieved (most semantically appropriate) with nested
unordered lists, nested definition lists, or something else?

I would most likely use <ul> for that

I don't think the subheads are really definitions of the main heads.

IMHO it makes the most semantic sense with nested ordered lists. But
those come with numbers; if the numbers are unwanted I'd use nested
unordered lists even though the order does matter. (But then, I think
"ordered" and "unordered" lists are really badly named. Order is
significant in many unordered ["bulleted"] lists.) The CSS would then
handle the formatting.

Hi, I have a form with a select element with multiple="true". When using the GET method (I suppose the same happens with the POST method) I can seen that the form sends channels=CH1&channels=CH2 when CH1 and CH2 have been choosen. $_GET gives me "CH2". Is there any way to get all the choosen channels elements? I would be very appreciative for any help. Thank you in anticipation. Regards

Hi Guys, We know that we can use <input type=file ...> to upload one file per time to the server. My question is if there are some way to upload multiple files per time to the server. (Of course, we can use <input type=file ...> multiple times and then submit once. But this is not what I want, because we have to click "browse" button several times to select multiple files before submit in this way.) "Upload multiple files PER TIME", I...

Hi, I'm trying to understand a situation where ASP seems to be "blocking" of "queuing" requests. This is on a Win2K Advanced Server, with IIS5. I've seen some posts (e.g., http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=Tidy7IDbDHA.2108%40cpmsftngxa06.phx.gbl) that indicate that ASP will queue up requests when they come in with the same "session".
