Hi guys,

I have a strange problem in wordpress using a custom walker.

This is my call for the menu:

<?php /* Dynamic menu if available */
  wp_nav_menu(
  array(
  'menu'=>'Home Menu',
  'container_class'=>'menu group',
  'container'=>'nav',
  'items_wrap' => '%3$s',
  'depth'=> 0,
  'walker'=> new walker()
  )
  )
  ?>

And this is my walker class

class walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu
{
function start_el(&$output, $item, $depth, $args)
{
global $wp_query;
$indent = ( $depth ) ? str_repeat( "\t", $depth ) : '';

$class_names = $value = '';

$classes = empty( $item->classes ) ? array() : (array) $item->classes;

$class_names = join( ' ', apply_filters( 'nav_menu_css_class', array_filter( $classes ), $item ) );
$class_names = ' class="'. esc_attr( $class_names ) . '"';

$attributes .= ! empty( $item->target )     ? ' target="' . esc_attr( $item->target     ) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty( $item->xfn )        ? ' rel="'    . esc_attr( $item->xfn        ) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty( $item->url )        ? ' href="'   . esc_attr( $item->url        ) .'"' : '';

if($depth != 0)
{
$description = $append = $prepend = "";
}

$item_output = $args->before;
$item_output .= '<a id="menu-item-'. $item->ID . '"' . $value . $class_names . $attributes .'>';
$item_output .= $args->link_before .$prepend.apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID ).$append;
$item_output .= '</a>';
$item_output .= $args->after;

$output .= apply_filters( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', $item_output, $item, $depth, $args );
}
}

My output looks like this:

<nav class="menu group"><a id="menu-item-256" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom current-menu-item current_page_item menu-item-home" href="">Title</a></li>
</nav>

I really don't understand, where the closing </ li> is coming from...
