Remove table from Horizontal Menu format

Question:  I want to remove the table related to the horizontal menu layout for any given menu item.  How do I do it?

Answer:
You could use the list function with a menu suffix and edit the related CSS accordingly to achieve what you want without editing the core system files.

If you do not wish to do that, then open modules > main_menu > legacy.php

Around line 380 find:

echo '<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">';
                        echo '<tr>';
                        echo '<td nowrap="nowrap">';

                        if ($spacer_end) {
                              echo '<span class="' . $menuclass . '"> ' . $spacer_end . ' </span>';
                        }

                        if ($spacer_start) {
                              $html = '<span class="' . $menuclass . '"> ' . $spacer_start . ' </span>';
                              echo implode($html, $links);
                        } else {
                              echo implode('', $links);
                        }

                        if ($spacer_end) {
                              echo '<span class="' . $menuclass . '"> ' . $spacer_end . ' </span>';
                        }

                        echo '</td>';
                        echo '</tr>';
                        echo '</table>';

Remove the echo lines. Or, just remove the table related mark up.  Could look like this:

                        if ($spacer_end) {
                              echo '<span class="' . $menuclass . '"> ' . $spacer_end . ' </span>';
                        }

                        if ($spacer_start) {
                              $html = '<span class="' . $menuclass . '"> ' . $spacer_start . ' </span>';
                              echo implode($html, $links);
                        } else {
                              echo implode('', $links);
                        }

                        if ($spacer_end) {
                              echo '<span class="' . $menuclass . '"> ' . $spacer_end . ' </span>';
                        }

Note: Removing as many of the "tables" from the default Joomla 1.5 systems is a good thing as it reduces code bloat. Though, in this case, if you menues are long, using an unordered list could actually increase the code bloat.
