it is common for websites (this one included) to have the ubiquitous '|' as a link divider, here is a neat way to do it with pure css
To get this menu:You dont need to actually put in the '|' character, you can do it with just the following advanced css selectors:
<style type="text/css"> ul#nav li{ float:left; margin-right:20px; } ul#nav li:after{ content:'|'; margin-left:20px; } ul#nav > li:last-child:after{ content:''; margin-left:0; } </style> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li> <li><a href="#">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="#">Other Crap</a></li> </ul>
I realize it's not exactly space-saving, but it is a cool trick that could be adapted to all sorts of possible situations.
