Creating an accessible navigation menu from a UL
Styling the nav of a site is something we do.. well, everytime we build a site.
The nav of a site is one if the most important (and often most neglected) elements. So what can we do to make sure our nav is as accessible as possible?
To start with, we create the markup for our navigation..
<ul class="nav">
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about/">About</a></li>
<li><a href="contact/">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
Obviously you can put as many or few items as you need into the list.
Now to style the list.... first we'll style it horizontally:
ul.nav,ul.nav li,ul.nav li a
{
display:block;
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
ul.nav li a
{
padding: 4px 8px;
text-decoration: none;
background: #ccc;
border: 1px solid #999;
margin-right: -1px;
}
ul.nav li a:hover
{
background: #f90;
color: #fff;
}
and now vertically, just to show how it works...
ul.nav,ul.nav li,ul.nav li a
{
display:block;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
ul.nav li a
{
padding: 4px 8px;
text-decoration: none;
background: #ccc;
border: 1px solid #999;
margin-bottom: -1px;
}
ul.nav li a:hover
{
background: #f90;
color: #fff;
}
Obviously, you have the freedom to apply any CSS you want to the blocks..

Great advice. Have you used nested ULs to do drop-down navigation using CSS only?
Example which you give in this site is really very helpful.I really appreciate your work.I try your example at my home and it help me lot.Creation of navigation menu is really a good work.
