It is because you are using it the wrong way. MENU helper itself generates the html marckup, ul, li, a, etc
Give a look at the documentation here http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/05/the-views?search=menu#MENU Look that MENU has some optional arguments to setup the classes to custom ones: The MENU helper takes the following optional arguments: - _class: defaults to "web2py-menu web2py-menu-vertical" and sets the class of the outer UL elements. - ul_class: defaults to "web2py-menu-vertical" and sets the class of the inner UL elements. - li_class: defaults to "web2py-menu-expand" and sets the class of the inner LI elements. - li_first: allows to add a class to the first list element. - li_last: allows to add a class to the last list element. But it always generate the same kind of structure: >>> print MENU([['One', False, 'link1', [['Two', False, 'link2']]]]) <ul class="web2py-menu web2py-menu-vertical"> <li class="web2py-menu-expand"> <a href="link1">One</a> <ul class="web2py-menu-vertical"> <li><a href="link2">Two</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> I you really need a different one, you should write it your own. If your menus don't change do it hardcoded. 2014-05-15 15:58 GMT-03:00 Dave S <snidely....@gmail.com>: > > > On Thursday, May 15, 2014 10:21:48 AM UTC-7, greenpoise wrote: >> >> Yes font-awesome is what I am trying to use.
