Lists in Web Pages as Navigational Enhancements

HTML tags to display your data and content in a list are many. Some of them are unordered list UL, ordered list OL, table and DIV. The truth is the DIV tag makes it possible to do any type of list and data tables, but the more specific tags can make your life easier.

The unordered list tag UL is likely to be the most popular tag to make lists. The unordered tag is ideal to create menus, tabs, drop-down menus, accordions, carousels and all kinds of content in a list. The unordered tag is likely to appear in widgets, interactive ads and even display ads. The unordered tag is easy to adjust to the look and feel of any HTML Web page as long as the understanding of the objects' hierarchy is clear.

Applying the unordered UL as a basis for all kinds of visual enhancements and interfaces, mainly in the form of Java Script snippets, is very popular these days of which tabbed interfaces, sliding menus and accordions are likely the most popular ones.
