Using an unordered list seems to be the prevalent method for creating
a navigation menu. Is there something inherently wrong, such as
browser compatibility, in using multiple left floated divs to style a
horizontal menu?

There aren't any browser compatibility issues with using divs, it is just that divs are semantically empty elements, where a list gives you at least some information about the menu. Also, as the ul method becomes a de facto standard, search engines and other data miners will start to look for it.


But, no, there is nothing inherently wrong with using divs if that's what you want to do.

The example below works in modern PC browsers.

Your server is serving this file as type text/x-server-parsed-html, which is a non-standard MIME type. This causes compliant browsers (notably, Safari, Mozilla and Opera - the main Mac browsers) to download the file rather than display it. You should set the MIME type to simple text/html for maximum compatibility.
