how to attribute to navigation (<ul><li>) from an xml source navigation - zend-framework

Question

HI,
my xml file is as follows
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<nav>
<home>
<label>HOME</label>
<controller>index</controller>
<action>index</action>
</home>
<aboutus>
<label>ABOUT US</label>
<controller>about-us</controller>
<action>index</action>
</aboutus>
<destination>
<label>DESTINATION</label>
<controller>destination</controller>
<action>index</action>
</destination>
</nav>
</config>
for code in my layout.phtml file
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH.'/configs/clientnav.xml', 'nav');
$container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
$this->navigation()->setContainer($container);
echo $this->navigation();
i get the result
<ul class="navigation">
<li class="active">
HOME
</li>
<li>
ABOUT US
</li>
</ul>
but i want the result
<ul class="navigation">
<li class="active">
HOME
</li>
<li classs="sep"></li>
<li>
ABOUT US
</li>
</ul>
Note the separator between two list. Help me out.

If you HAVE to have the sep there and you cannot amend your CSS as #trickwallett suggested then you can query the navigation directly and then iterate over it yourself. Note that if you do this you will need to apply your own ACL rules.
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/navigation.xml');
$container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
$pages = $this->navigation($container)->findAllById("main");
foreach ($pages as $i => $page)
{
if(!$page->getVisible())
continue;
echo $this->menu()->htmlify($page);
}
There I use findAllById() but there are many others documented here
