trouble with nested list editable region

I am trying to make an editable region such that it is possible for someone to
create a nested list within a non-editable list. The non-editable list is part
of a template -- it is the navbar, the first level of which should not change,
but I want there to be the option for people to add a sublist under any given
list item if they want. The navbar list and the sublists are styled via CSS
such that they look like a real navbar with subitems under each menu item.

For example, say

<ul>
<li>FixedOne</li>
<li>FixedTwo</li>
<ul>

is my unchangable navbar in my template. I want the user to be able to do as
follows:

<ul>
<li>FixedOne<ul><li>UserAddedOne</li><li>UserAddedTwo</li></ul></li>
<li>FixedTwo</li>
<ul>

The reason I am using templates, incidentally, is because the main navbar
items are used on every single page on this site, and I want any changes I make
to the main navbar items to automatically be changed on every page it occurs
on. Perhaps there is a beter way to achieve my goal?

here is what I tried and it did not work -- gave me errors about the placement
of my editable region.

*********
<div id=nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="../HARVARD/training_programs.html">Training Programs</a>

<li><a href="../HARVARD/initiatives.html">Initiatives</a></li>
<li><a href="cores.html">Cores</a></li>
<li><a href="../HARVARD/specimen_banking.html">Specimen Banking</a></li>
<li><a href="../HARVARD/faculty_fellows.html">Faculty &
Fellows</a></li>
<li><a href="../HARVARD/courses.html">Courses</a></li>
<li><a href="../HARVARD/resources.html">Resources</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
*********

Thanks,

Elise

Heh, yes I did. Thank you.

I couldn't find my original post for some reason, so I posted again, thinking that my first post didn't go through. And now I can't find any way to erase the duplicate!

Don't worry - you cannot erase or modify any posts once they are made.
