Nested navigation - active and subactive

[Jasnick]

In the example below of a nested nav list, is it necessary to put in <li class="subactive" and "class="subcurrent">? I took it out of the first section just leaving the "active" and "current" on the last item and it still works. There is no styling for .subactive or .subcurrent in the CSS, only for .current.


<div class="nav">
<ul class="navlist">
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a>
<ul class="subnavlist">
<li><a href="operation.html">Operation</a></li>
<li><a href="projects.html">Projects</a></li>
<li class="active"><a href="members.html" class="current">COMMITTEE and MEMBERS</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

<li><a href="#">WEED SPECIES</a>
<ul class="subnavlist">
<li class="subactive"><a href="watsonia.html"class="subcurrent">Watsonia</a></li>
<li><a href="oxalis.html">Oxalis</a></li>
<li><a href="carnation.html">Carnation Weed</a></li> <li><a href="taro.html">Taro</a></li>
</ul>
</li>........and so on to </ul></div>

Thanks

If there will be no styling using the classes, absolutly you should remove them, but ofcourse you decide if they will come to use in the future and if they do no harm in the meantime.

Thanks erik.j - that's what I wanted to confirm.

In 95&#37; of cases there'll also be no need for the DIV around the list menu, so you can safely remove that as well and just apply its styles to the list itself.

Thanks Dan !
