Drupal likes to put spans and divs around every item. When you don't like that, you can override the PHP file that's causing this.

Look at: sites/all/modules/views/theme

views-view-list.tpl.php views-view-field.tpl.php views-view-fields.tpl.php

Look at those files, make changes if you want to, and save them in your own template folder. Here you can strip code that makes spans, divs...

  You can also rename the filename in your template map, if you just want to do this for 1 view.

I used this for a view where I wanted to make 3 columns, so I wanted the classes li_1, li_2 and li_3 (file: views-view-list.tpl.php)

Drupal likes to put <span> and <div> around every item. When you don't like that, you can override the PHP file that's causing this.

Look in the sites/all/modules/views/theme folder at the views-view-list.tpl.php, views-view-field.tpl.php and views-view-fields.tpl.php files.

Save a copy of these files in your own theme's 'templates' folder. Then you can edit the copies to strip code that makes <span> and <div> etc. You should also rename your version of these files according to the view's template suggestions so the changes only affect your view.
