# Issue using posts_nav_link and display:block

 * So posts_nav_link usually returns links sending you to the next post and previous
   post, together. What I’m trying to do is split it into JUST a link to the next
   post, and JUST a link to the previous post.
 * I accomplished this by setting null values in the appropriate areas.
 * Everything works fine until I put it into an ul that has display:block; for links.
   What ends up happening is the null value being returned is still generating a
   link (albeit a blank one).
 * It’s hard for me to explain, so just check out [http://erolcomic.com/wordpress/?paged=2](http://erolcomic.com/wordpress/?paged=2)
 * What I’m talking about occurs on all pages except the first post and last post.
 * Try browsing around using the Next and Previous buttons. You’ll see what I’m 
   talking about.
 * Is there any way to return JUST a link to the previous or next entry, without
   trying to abuse posts_nav_link?
 * I have a very limited understanding of php (read: none), so your help is appreciated.
