html - Want to set backgroud color of my menu item -

here html code:

<nav id="nav">  <ul>   <li>    <a href="#"> home </a>   </li>   <li>    <a href="#"> </a>   </li>   <li>    <a href="#"> photos </a>   </li>   <li>    <a href="#"> contact </a>   </li>  </ul> </nav>  

what code should changing background colour ?

your question doesn't provide enough information. however, bullet list can assume using and/or

tags, this:

<ul>    <li>home</li>    <li>about us</li>    <li>photos</li>    <li>contact</li> </ul> 

the efficient way color backgrounds of elements use css styles. in css file want use selector select

elements within .

ul li {   background-color:blue; } 

this css code change background color of each element. however, if have multiple lists , don't want them have blue background, must give class in html file.

<ul class="nav">    <li>home</li>    <li>about us</li>    <li>photos</li>    <li>contact</li> </ul> 

then in css code able target "nav" class directly.

#nav li {   background-color:blue; } 

hope helps. in future, provide more details code , question.
