Hey guys.
I was installing Orizon template, and i find header navigation menu on this template very strange, i think author using lot’s of unused code.
Orizon <!I just wondering if it will be correct and right, if i will remove all ‘ul’ ‘li’ tags, and will make menu with ‘a’ and divs only.
Why i need to use this code:
<div id="header">
<a href="index.html" id="logo">Orizon</a> <!-- Add a image to the style or remove the text-indent to display the text -->
<ul id="nav">
<li class="active"><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="blog.html">Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="portfolio.html">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a>
</li></ul> <!-- nav -->
</div> <!-- header -->
When i can use lesser code with less css:
<div id="header">
<a href="index.html" id="logo">Orizon</a>
<a href="index.html" class="active">Home</a>
<a href="blog.html">Blog</a>
<a href="portfolio.html">Portfolio</a>
<a href="about.html">About</a>
</div>

Menus build with unordered lists are a semantic standard. Everybody uses them like this – Orizon has no problems in the nav, it’s well written.
You can of course rebuild it with whatever you like and maybe save 0.000001 seconds on page load

Let’s do some common sense thinking:
How to find a website that shows good load optimization practices? – I should think of a website with a lot of traffic.
A website with a lot of traffic? – Twitter
What do they use for their navigaiton? – UL
Should I use UL too? – Yes!

So using as little code as possible should be rule number 1 or what. That is just silly.
