title: Is there a way to use <li> instead of a <button> element?
body: <p>Is there a way to use <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> instead of a <code>&lt;button&gt;</code> element and still achieve the same result as using a button?</p>
  <p>I have a navbar and in the middle of the navbar, there is a button because I have a drop-down menu (once you click the button the dropdown shows up) I want to change the button into a list item in order to get the exact same look(CSS) as the rest of the navbar.</p>
  <p>My Code:</p>
