Sidebar adding extra tags

I’m converting a css template to a wordpress theme. The theme I’m making is a child theme of twentyeleven.

There’s a sections that’s kinda like a sideways sidebar (like a footer), so I’ve decided to make it into a sidebar, but it uses div’s instead of li’s so using an ul doesn’t make sense. I’m trying to remove the div id=sidebar and ul but they won’t go away.

I’m kinda new to making sidebars and widgets, and I don’t know where they’re coming from. They’re not in my functions.php, the sidebar-homepagefooter.php file for the sidebar, and there’s no widgets in the sidebar.

What else could be adding these two tags?
