Default Are You Using Lists For Navigation?

Using UL or OL (Unordered Lists/Ordered Lists) for your navigation will
be much more semantically correct than simply putting your anchor tags
from your menu into divs by themselves, separated by BRs (breaks):
Code:
<ul>
   <li><a href="somewhere.php" title="Going somewhere">Lets go</a></li>
</ul>

Suitably styled, they can be very rolloverish without the Javascript and Image preloads etc.

PS:
I hate Javascript.

I always design navigation links as you demonstrated Martin. In the near future i am going to execute a survey about the accessibility, because as far as i know specifing different acceskeys may improve the usability for some webusers.

ps.i love javascript

I am also trying to switch all navigations to lists if possible...

@smeagain - you still better off using preloads if you using images as a background for roll-over navigation elements... You can do it with CSS without javascript: Preloading roll-over images with CSS
