huh?
you wouldn't build a menu like that anyway...this is much easier (and
closer to semantic).
[xhtml code]
<ul>
<li>menu element 1</li>
<li>menu element 2</li>
<li>menu element 3</li>
</ul>
[css code]
ul {list-style: none;}
li {display: inline;}
[or]
ul {list-style: none;}
li {float: left; display: block; width: Npx;}
menus are nothing but lists as far as "data" description is concerned.
they should be coded with that in mind.
div are block level elements, span are inline elements.
