Hello,
The <span class="paradeiser_dropdown"> can't be a SPAN element because it's not valid to have an UL element inside.
HTML basics :)

Good luck.

not even google has valid html. html basics = rules are meant to be broken. as long as they don't give us an unstyled block link i will never ever respect html validation.

I know that lot of great websites are wrong.
It's not because Google is wrong that we must imitate him.
In your case you can do the same thing easily being W3C compliant :)
Thank you.

I don't know if 1% of the top 1000 websites would pass validation and I highly doubt it. It is also not valid to put an image (= icon) into an <a> tag, but there is no other element that supports href natively, so I would have to parse it via JS to make it HTML valid. This alone show how old and bad these rules are.
Every Browser support is the way it should, and it is not a broken markup like <a><span></a></span> would be, it's just used in a different styling way. And semantically span and div have absolutely 0 meaning.

You are therefore free to change the markup in your own project, but I will not rewrite it in here as I see no reason to do so.

@creativejuiz you could also PR it

Yeah, I could, but I don't want to spend my time if @lucidlemon does not
agree with the change.
He is right, he can propose an invalid code for everyone, I'll use a
valid one in case of need. :)
