So I updated my ASCX skin with the following code:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" Namespace="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins" Assembly="DotNetNuke" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="NAV" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Nav.ascx" %>

And....

<div id="mainMenu">
            <dnn:Nav runat="server" id="dnnNav" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" Tooltip="Title" ControlOrientation="Horizontal" ControlAlignment="Left" IndicateChildren="False" CSSControl="mainMenu" />
<CustomAttributes>
                                    
                                      <dnn:CustomAttribute Name="RenderMode" Value="UnorderedList"/>
                                </CustomAttributes>
                             </dnn:NAV>
             </div>


1.  The unordered list isn't happening.  It is still wrapped in <span> tags. 
2. It seems to be picking up some CSS but just the #mainMenu... not the rest of them....
Here is the CSS:

#mainMenu {
  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
  position: relative;
  color: white;
}
#mainMenu .root {
  float: left;
}
#mainMenu .mi a {
  color: white;
  font-size: 120%;
  font-family: "Franklin Gothic Medium";
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  padding: 20px;
}
#mainMenu .mi a:hover {
  color: #e3af13;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}
#mainMenu .mi a:active {
  color: #e3af13;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}
#mainMenu .mi a.selected {
  color: #e3af13;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
  position: relative;
}
#mainMenu .mi.selected {
  position: relative;
  background-image: none;
}
#mainMenu .mi.selected a {
  color: #e3af13;
  font-size: 120%;
  font-family: "Franklin Gothic Medium";
  display: block;
  position: relative;
}
#mainMenu .mi.selected a:hover {
  color: #e3af13;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
  position: relative;
}
#mainMenu .mi.selected a.selected {
  color: #e3af13;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
  position: relative;
}

So why is my unordered list not working and why won't it pick up my CSS?

Thanks!

I'm not going to disagree with using the DDR Menu; however, if you are wanting to use the DNNNav, I have a blog post about styling it here: http://www.ralphwilliams.com/home/ent...

Hope that helps.
