I am building a simple menu. Among layouts I've considered is a plain-jane dropdown that looks like this for numerous items:
<li>
<a href="#!">Fare</a>
<ul class="nav-dropdown">
<li><a href="tomatoes.php">Tomatoes</a></li>
<li><a href="cheese.php">Cheese</a></li>
<li><a href="bacon.php">Bacon</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
This seems very functional, but there are often the #! characters appended to the URLs when I navigate among pages. Of course if I eliminate those characters, the dropdown behavior stops altogether.
Are there other means for coding anchors to eliminate these from URLs?
