They don't have a standard name, but they're all over the web. I'm talking about those lists of items made up of a title, short description, and thumbnail. They're often used to provide short teasers that link to more information about the products, articles, or sections of the site being listed.

I'm going to call these types of lists "teaser thumbnail lists." Since they come in so many shapes and serve so many purposes, they can be built in dozens of different ways. However, many of the ways that such lists are built are not as flexible and accessible as they could be. This tutorial will go over one way to structure the XHTML and CSS to create such a list that maximizes flexibility for the site owner and accessibility for the end user.
