 * Hi!
 * It’s a long time ago that I themed a WP theme so I’ve forgotten a lot of things:(.
 * I want to style a menu with my own id and classes.
    so I call the menu function`
   wp_nav_menu` and I see that this is wrapped in a div, but I don’t want this, 
   how can I remove the div?
 * Thanks!

 * I tried to use this:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
                       $nav_args= array(
                           'menu'                => '',
                           'container'            => '',
                           'menu_class'        => 'horizontal-list clearfix',
                           'menu_id'            => 'nav',
                           'echo'                => true,
                           'theme_location'    => 'index'
                       );
   
                   ?>
                   <?php wp_nav_menu( $nav_args ); ?>
       ```
   
 * But it doesn’t work, anyone knows why?

 * Short answer: You can’t. Although the Codex documentation implies that it’s possible
   to remove or change the container, it’s not currently possible.
