I have 2 lists I am trying to complete in my website.  The first list I have is a navigation bar that runs horizontally.  I have all of the css and html for that.  In addition, under my gallery division I am trying to add another list to replace my table and make it layout similar to the table.  When I add my list it is effected by the navigation bar css.  To remedy this I added a class to the division that carries nav bar and added that syntax to my list css such as <div class="nav"> and nav, ul {}.  This doesn't seem to be helping though.  I don't want to give a class for every li or ul and I'm sure it is an easy fix but I need some help.

The comma is used to separate selectors. If you want descendants of the .nav element, just separate them with a space:

.nav ul {
  /* Rules */
}

.nav li {
  /* Rules */
}

The code at http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/56661-help-with-float/#comment-311732

Only affected the ul and li elements with parent element class of 'menu', like I mentioned in another topic, doing it this way makes it more manageable, as any other ul, li used without parent 'menu' class, will not be styled as used for navigation menu ul, li elements.

Instead of class you can place the unordered list elements within nav element then use

nav ul {...}

nav li {...}

So any ul, li elements within nav element will be styled differently from any used on its own or within a div anywhere else within the page.
