You can't have a <ul> directly within another <ul>

Instead, make your nested list one of the list items:

<ul>
<li>Mainlist1
<ul>
<li>Sublist 1</li>
<li>Sublist 2</li>
<li>Sublist 3</li>
<li>Sublist 4</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Mainlist 2</li>
<li>Mainlist 3</li>
</ul>

Not only is this correct XHTML, but it makes sure the first sublist is
associated with the first Mainlist list item. eg. they are both within
the same <li> tag.

Try:

<ul>
<li>Mainlist1
<ul>
<li>Sublist 1</li>
<li>Sublist 2</li>
<li>Sublist 3</li>
<li>Sublist 4</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Mainlist 2</li>
<li>Mainlist 3</li>
</ul>
