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?
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>
