Horizontal Navigation In Text Based Browsers

Question

In the old days of table based layouts it was relatively simple to make a horizontal nav bar that rendered horizontally in both graphical and text based browsers.

Now the standard way of making a horizontal nav-bar is by using an unordered list and styling it with CSS.

Is there any way to make a ul list appear horizontal in something like w3m or elinks?

Answer 1

I have no experience in those browsers but ul/li have default CSS built in. If the browsers recognise that, it has to be overriden to get inline lists. Perhaps rather use a group of anchors which are inline by default.

You can use a div to hold the list but semantically, the nav element is more appropriate.

<nav>
  <a href="">Link</a>
  <a href="">Link</a>
  <a href="">Link</a>
  <a href="">Link</a>
</nav>

Answer 2

The <nav> tag can be used for this. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_nav.asp
