This code is perfect for my vertical drop down menu. however code validation hates it?
my results are here for validation, take a look please.
document type does not allow element "li" here; missing one of "ul",
"ol", "menu", "dir" start-tag end tag for "li" omitted, but OMITTAG
NO was specified

You forgot to close each principal <li> elements. When you close your inner <ul> list you have to close the <li> element which correspond, to pass to the next item of the main list. This portion will be (x)HTML valid:
<div id="leftNav">
<ul id="mainmenu">
<li>Home</li>
<li>News</li>
<li>Media
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Videos</li>
<li>Gallery</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Contact
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Email</li>
<li>Phone</li>
<li>Location</li>
</ul></li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</div>
your missing some closing </li>'s. Below is a corrected version:
<div id="leftNav">
<ul id="mainmenu">
<li>Home</li>
<li>News</li>
<li>Media
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Videos</li>
<li>Gallery</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Contact
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Email</li>
<li>Phone</li>
<li>Location</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</div>
Try this:
<div id="leftNav">
<ul id="mainmenu">
<li>Home</li>
<li>News</li>
<li>Media
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Videos</li>
<li>Gallery</li>
</ul></li> <!-- here -->
<li>Contact
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Email</li>
<li>Phone</li>
<li>Location</li>
</ul></li> <!-- here -->
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</div>
You just have to close the li-tags after a nested ul-element.

I am trying to write a HTML documentation for my team project. When I was trying to create a navigation menu with nested structure, the second degree doesn't show any content. Can I get some suggestion on possible cause of my problem?
<section class="contents">
<h1 id="contents">Contents</h1>
<ul id="menu">
<li>Problem Statement and Project Overview
<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Use Case</li>
<li>Development Timeline</li>
<li>Technology </li>
<li>Data Sources</li>
<li>Team Capabilities</li>
<li>User Interface</li>
</ul>
</section>
You just need to put some content between your a tags
<section class="contents">
<h1 id="contents">Contents</h1>
<ul id="menu">
<li>Problem Statement and Project Overview
<ul>
<li>overview</li>
<li>background</li>
<li>problem</li>
<li>solution</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Use Case</li>
<li>Development Timeline</li>
<li>Technology </li>
<li>Data Sources</li>
<li>Team Capabilities</li>
<li>User Interface</li>
</ul>
</section>
I've the following code with nested list items as shown below:
<ul style={{padding-top: '15px'}}>
<li style={{margin-left: '20px'}}>First Services</li>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get1</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get2</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get3</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get4</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get5</li>
</ul>
<li style={{margin-left: '20px'}}>Second Services</li>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get6</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get7</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get8</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get9</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get10</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get11</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get12</li>
</ul>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>get13 </li>
</ul>
<li style={{margin-left: '20px'}}>Workflows</li>
<ul style={{margin-left: '30px'}}>
<li>Workflow for someone </li>
</ul>
</ul>
My Goal:
I want some space between the following:
1) First Services and get1
2) get5 and Second Services
3) Second Services and get6
4) get13 and Workflows
5)Workflows and Workflow for someone
How should I go about it? Is adding an empty paragraph tag <p></p> a good idea between each of the above 5 things?
if you mean horizontal space (white space), use:   ;
if you mean vertical space, try: (CSS property) line-height, padding
or margin.
you might want to remove this from being inline and use your linked stylesheet instead as it might cause issues with your styling.
You should use classes for this. Right now, the simplest way is to wrap a div around your whole list, apply a class to it (in my example I used parent_class) and use this selector: div.parent_class > ul >li It only selects the li elements of the first level ul:
div.parent_class > ul >li {
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
<div class="parent_class">
<ul style="padding-top:15px;">
<li style="margin-left:20px">First Services</li>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get1</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get2</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get3</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get4</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get5</li>
</ul>
<li style="margin-left:20px">Second Services</li>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">
<li>get6</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin-left:30px">

I would do the following (or something similar - keep in mind it's not good practice to have <ul> as a child of another <ul> - you can validate here: http://validator.w3.org/). Remove the inline styles, you'll deal with A LOT of headaches later if you write you CSS as you have. Set classnames for the bits you want extra space for (you can edit the {{20px}} below for how much space you want (or if you want left/right margins, you can edit the whole rule).
<style>
.title {
margin-left: 20px;
}
.top-list {
padding-top: 15px;
}
.top-list .spacer-top {
margin-top: {{20px}};
}
.top-list > li > ul {
margin-left: 30px;
}
</style>
<ul class="top-list">
<li class="title">First Services</li>
<li class="spacer-top">
<ul>
<li>get1</li>

</li>

I use gulp-file-include to combine many html file with the same header.
src/_header.html
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</nav>
src/index.html
##include('_header.html')
index blah...
src/about.html
##include('_header.html')
about blah...
Can I make the render result page like below?
With a class="active" on different nav item of each page.
dist/index.html
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</nav>
index blah...
dist/about.html
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li class="active">About</li>
</ul>
</nav>
about blah...
I tried a WORKAROUND , maybe there is a better solution.
But for now try this....
src/_header.html
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="##activeclassHome">Home</li>
<li class="##activeclassAbout">About</li>
</ul>
</nav>
src/index.html
##include('_header.html', {activeclassHome": "active", "activeclassAbout": ""})
src/about.html
##include('_header.html', {activeclassHome": "", "activeclassAbout": "active"})
rendered pages:
dist/index.html
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li class="">About</li>
</ul>
</nav>
dist/About.html
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="">Home</li>
<li class="active">About</li>
</ul>
</nav>
UPDATE: Better use Nunjucks
a template engine to be used in client/server
I used gulp-file-include if statement
src/_header.html
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="##if (context.page === 'home') {active}">
Home
</li>
<li class="##if (context.page === 'about') {active}">
About
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
src/index.html
##include('_header.html', {
"page": "home"
})
src/about.html
##include('_header.html', {
"page": "about"
})
rendered pages:
dist/index.html
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li class="">About</li>
</ul>
</nav>
dist/about.html
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="">Home</li>
<li class="active">About</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Hi Im new to PureCss of Yahoo. Im trying to make a vertical navigation with collapsible items
im wondering why ul in a li doesn't shows any display. No other css. PureCss of Yahoo only.
this is my code:
<div class="pure-u" id="nav">
Menu
<div class="nav-inner">
<div class="pure-menu pure-menu-open">
<ul>
<li>Dashboard</li>
<li>
Sales
<ul> <!-- this doesn't show :( -->
<li>Create Order</li>
<li>Orders</li>
<li>Sales Report</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Purchasing</li>
<li>Reports</li>
<li>Users</li>
<li>Help</li>
<li>Settings</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
As i Understood by the documentation you need add pure-menu-open to any menu that you want to show, and some other classes to make it look decent, this is anyways what i came up with.
<div class="pure-u" id="nav">
Menu
<div class="nav-inner">
<div class="pure-menu pure-menu-open">
<ul>
<li>Dashboard</li>
<li class="pure-menu pure-menu-open pure-menu-can-have-children pure-menu-has-children">
Sales
<ul> <!-- this doesn't show :( -->
<li>Create Order</li>
<li>Orders</li>
<li>Sales Report</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Purchasing</li>
<li>Reports</li>
<li>Users</li>
<li>Help</li>
<li>Settings</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>

I'm a novice and ran my code through an html validator.
Regarding my navigation I receive a message that reads: :Element ul not allowed as child of element ul in this context"
Here is the html structure:
<nav>
<div class="nav_container">
<ul class="navigation">
<ul class="logo">
<li><img src="images/rh_logo_v5.png" alt="roundhaus logo"/></li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>home</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>reclaimed wood</li>
<li>design</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>flooring</li>
<li>paneling</li>
<li>beams</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>shelving
</li><li>mantels</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>news</li>
</ul>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>wood types</li>
<li>phrases</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Whats wrong with it? It looks fine across browsers. Should I be concerned or take action?
A ul can not be a direct child of another ul, it needs to be contained within an li
<ul class="navigation">
<li>
<ul class="logo">
<li><img src="images/rh_logo_v5.png" alt="roundhaus logo"/></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>home</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>reclaimed wood</li>
<li>design</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>flooring</li>
<li>paneling</li>
<li>beams</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>shelving</li>
<li>mantels</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>news</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul class="subnav">
<li>wood types</li>
<li>phrases</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
you could also give the menu some headings by adding it in the li before the child ul,
you must wrap each of the inner ul with an li
<ul class="navigation">
<li>
<ul>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Your structure is likely wrong. Logo is not a list or list-item. As well as list item that contains just another list is generally pointless.
Use heading element for logo (I usually use H1 for home page and H3 with link inside it for other pages):
<!-- for home page -->
<h1 id="logo">Company</h1>
<!-- for other pages -->
<h3 id="logo">Company</h3>
And make sure that your navigation has correct hierarchy like this:
<ul>
<li>Products
<ul>
<li>Desktops</li>
<li>Laptops</li>
<li>Tablets</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>About
<ul>
<li>History</li>
<li>Contacts</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
In the example, each LI has its own link and subsections of section that the link represents, and thus the link text is heading for subsections' list.
You need to wrap
<ul class="navigation">
<ul class="logo">
as
<ul class="navigation">
<li>
<ul class="logo">
...
</ul>
</li>
and so on...
