 * Hi there, I trying to learn how to edit ready made themes and I’m working now
   on moesia theme, I want to add a menu on the top like this one:
    [http://tympanus.net/codrops/2010/04/29/awesome-bubble-navigation-with-jquery/](http://tympanus.net/codrops/2010/04/29/awesome-bubble-navigation-with-jquery/)
   I used wp_nav_menu() but it produces a menu wrapped in ul and li and I think 
   this is the problem I have so I can’t apply the js on it as it should be or am
   I wrong? here’s my site, I haven’t added anything yet: [http://demo011.test03.vixohub.com/](http://demo011.test03.vixohub.com/)
   thanks in advance..

 * Hi,
 * Guess, that might not be best methodology to create the menus.
 * Instead I will highly recommend to follow these steps:
 * 1- Create some sample pages (for instance- home, About us and Contact).
    2- Appearance-
   >Menus ->Create New Menu ->Save Menu. 3- Now on the left sidebar you will get
   all the pages you have created. Select the check boxes of those pages which you
   want to include in your “Menu” and click on “Add to Menu”. 4- You will see all
   your pages on right hand side under “Menu” structure. 5- Now scroll down your
   page and perform the last step. 6- Under menu setting, select the check box according
   to your requirement. And save menu.

 * I did all this so the pages are shown on the place specified for them, But I 
   want to know how I can control what code will be produced from wp_nav_menu, I
   don’t want pages be wrapped in
    -  instead I want them to be within h2 for example. I want the produced code
      be similar to the source code in the menu I’m using because I don’t know how
      to modify Js code :/
