 * I have this code
 *     ```
       <nav>
        <ul class="mainmenu">
         <li></li>
         <li></li>
         <li></li>
        </ul>
       </nav>
       ```
   
 * And just replaced it with wordpress 3 menu so it is now:
 *     ```
       <nav>
       <?php wp_nav_menu(array('menu' => 'Main Nav Menu')); ?>
       </nav>
       ```
   
 * My UL class “mainmenu” had some css to position the navigation list in a certain
   way etc.
 * How do I apply this same css to the php command, or will I have to wrap it in
   a div within the nav tag with those same settings?

    <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit this
   entry’,”,’.’); ?>

 * for your menu problem: look through all the parameters of `wp_nav_menu()` [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu)
   
   if you can’t change the output, change the css.

 * you could wrap this code with a html tag, for instance a span with a css class;
   
   or use the css class which is output by the function: `.post-edit-link`
 * try to work with a tool such as Firebug [http://getfirebug.com/](http://getfirebug.com/)
   to investigate the css.
