I want to have about 7 lists (UL) side-by-side and each list has a separate styled header title. I am trying to get the lists to sort nicely underneath the header title and the bullets also (was thinking using text-indent, but that doesnt work in IE8 apparently!??). I came up with below code (I am a newbie), but again HTML validator is throwing error messages at me. I know I cannot put my styled header title under the UL but thats the only way to get it nicely sorted in one clean straight column. What I am doing wrong?
<ul style="width:14%; float:left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;"><p class="notice">title 1</p></span>
<li><a class="underline2" href="etc etc"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px; color: #616161;">aaaaa</span></a></li>
<li><a class="underline2" href="etc etc"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px; color: #616161;">bbbbb</span></a></li>
<li><a class="underline2" href="etc etc"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px; color: #616161;">ddddd</span></a></li>
</ul>
<ul style="width:14%; float:left;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;"><p class="notice">title2</p></span>
<li><a class="underline2" href="etc etc"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px; color: #616161;">eeeeee</span></a></li>
<li><a class="underline2" href="etc etc"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px; color: #616161;">ffffff</span></a></li>
<li><a class="underline2" href="etc etc"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14px; color: #616161;">hhhhhhh</span></a></li>
</ul>
<ul style="width:14%; float:left;">
