Is it possible to wrap the fields of a view inside a  and ? UPDATE: Colin is right but I'd like to go over what I did to accomplish this.
I added a views-view.tpl.php template and where it said 

&lt;?php print $rows; ?&gt;


I wrapped it like this

&lt;nav id="menu"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;?php print $rows; ?&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/nav&gt;


I also wanted to prevent each row from being wrapped in a view so I also added a views-view-unformatted.tpl.php template and replaced

&lt;div&lt;?php if ($classes_array[$id]) { print ' class="' . $classes_array[$id] .'"';  } ?&gt;&gt;
    &lt;?php print $row; ?&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;


with just

&lt;?php print $row; ?&gt;




I'm trying to have a view that starts with a

&lt;nav id="menu"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;


then contains all the content of my view like so

&lt;li&gt;image&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;image&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;image&lt;/li&gt;


and then ends with 

&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/nav&gt;


However I'm having a lot of trouble. Header and footer does not work because it starts and closes it in it's own div. I tried hiding all the contents and doing a global text field like so

&lt;nav id="menu"&gt;
    &lt;ul&gt;
        &lt;li&gt;[image]&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/nav&gt;


However that gives each item it's own nav and closes it right after each one.

Is wrapping the entire comments in the  and  tags possible in drupal?
You will need to add a View template to your theme, take a look at Views template files to give you an idea of how to accomplish this
