List not validating!

[scrimshawcomm]

Hi,

In my quest to cure myself of divitis I have been trying to use other methods to layout my pages.

Here is a snippet of a small two column menu. When i try and validate it as HTML 4.0 it says that I cannot have the <li> elements where I do?

Any help

span is an inline element, whereas li is a block-level element, I think that's the problem

Indeed, and the <ul> may only have <li>s as direct children.

Oh, and the class="ul" bit is very silly. Just match the element itself, rather than the class name.
