I found that quite a few ‘toolbar’ in web page is implemented with HTML tag UL and LI with style ‘float:left‘.

Fore example, with the help of FireBug it is easy to find this pattern in http://www.yahoo.com/.

Is there any reason for that? I don’t think that UL and LI are invented to create toolbar.

  1. HTML was intended for semantics (what things mean), not presentation (what they look like). Since <ul> represents an unordered list, and since a toolbar is conceptually just a list of items, this is sensible. Even StackOverflow does it!

    <div class='nav'>   <ul>     <li><a href='/questions'>Questions</a></li>     <li><a href='/tags'>Tags</a></li>     <li><a href='/users'>Users</a></li>     <li><a href='/badges'>Badges</a></li>     <li><a href='/unanswered'>Unanswered</a></li>   </ul> </div>
