CSS - Horizontal Menu (list) Centering
Hello All,
I am trying to get a "horizontal menu" in CSS to properly center in my "#topbar" dev which is basically a header that is 100% width of the page. I have the website name, then the menu which is to be centered directly below it. I have searched google for hours and found one website (I guess cause i'm new it won't let me put the url in here) and it broke down each section of the CSS and it says that to horizontally position the menu just add text-align: center; to the #tabsE ul section, but that doesn't change anything at all. I have also tried replacing the float values with margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; (I've used those to center images before) and that just destroys the menu (it all shifts to the right side of the screen, and spaces out vertically). I am really kind of stuck here, I'm pretty new to CSS and most the basics are clicking, it seems to me that centering items so far has been one of the biggest pains yet. Here is the CSS: Code: /*- Menu Tabs E--------------------------- */
#tabsE {
width:100%;
background:#000;
font-size:93%;
line-height:normal;
}
#tabsE ul {
margin:0;
padding:10px 10px 0 0px;
list-style:none;
}
#tabsE li {
display:inline;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#tabsE a {
text-align: center;
background:url("tableftE.gif") no-repeat left top;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 0 4px;
text-decoration:none;
}
#tabsE a span {
text-align: center;
display:block;
background:url("tabrightE.gif") no-repeat right top;
padding:5px 15px 4px 6px;
color:#000;
}
/* Commented Backslash Hack hides rule from IE5-Mac \*/
#tabsE a span {float:none;}
/* End IE5-Mac hack */
#tabsE a:hover span {
color:#FFFFFF;
}
#tabsE a:hover {
background-position:0% -42px;
}
#tabsE a:hover span {
background-position:100% -42px;
}
#tabsE #current a {
background-position:0% -42px;
}
#tabsE #current a span {
background-position:100% -42px;
}
I tried to post the HTML (its just a standard <ul> with list </ul>) but it won't let me, because it contains url's so, I can e-mail you that if neccesary. I truly appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks, Chris Similar TutorialsLet me start by saying I'm a PHP/MySQL guy, not a designer. I know enough CSS to get by, but my focus has been the data side, not the design side. Hell I usually just use tables so I don't have to mess with any of this crap. I guess it's come to the point where I need to update my design skills or be left in the dust (since you can outsource LAMP guys for $4 a friggin' hour now ) I'm using the pretty standard UL-LI menu set to display vertically. Now I've added a couple links and it's too big for one line if I want to maintain style at 800 x 600. I figured the easiest way was to let it wrap to 2 lines. It wraps fine, but everything is either left aligned or right. I'd like both of the rows to be centered. Is there an easy way to do this? Here's the general layout: PHP Code: // .main is the style for the container // #main is the positioning of this instance of main // .tree_menu_list is the vertical stuffs <div class="menu" id="main"> <ul class="tree_menu_list"> <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=vision">Vision</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=buying">Buying</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=renovation">Building</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=selling">Selling</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=payout">Payout</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=opportunities">Opportunities</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?p=services">Services</a></li> <li><a href="images.php">Photos</a></li> </ul> </div> Good evening, I'm trying to center a horizontal menu on a website, and I can't seem to get the right code tags in the write places. I'd like to get the links on the menu to center on the page, and perhaps to display in a consistent width text box. My menu bar is 900px, and there are 10 links, so for instance I would like to reduce these boxes containing the links to a consistent 90px. Any thoughts? website - http://www.squadron282.com CSS Code: Code:

I've got everything working fine, except for one little thing; in Firefox the submenu is vertically aligned instead of horizontally. For once IE has gotten it right (or at least the way I want it) by positioning the sub menu horizontally. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the sub menu to flow horizontally in FF. I've tried display: inline and float: left and all kinds of things but nothing seems to affect it. My site is here http://www.soton.ac.uk/~rollhock/new/index3.php And the css file http://www.soton.ac.uk/~rollhock/new/includes/style.css If anyone is able to help I will be eternally grateful! Thanks Heya! I am really new to html - creating my first website for uni course now. My problem is with the menu I have created - it's basically 5 div's with list within list in them. so that the deeper list is a sub-menu, displaying on hover on the first one. The problem appears only in IE9 compatibility view, it works in IE9,8,7,firefox and chrome. this is the html: <div id="ourproject"> <ul> <li>OUR<br> PROJECT <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Project Overview</a></li> <li><a href="Introduction.html">Introduction</a></li> <li><a href="participants.html">Participants</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> and my css: #ourproject ul { position:relative; color: #FFF; text-decoration: none; width: 102px; top:0px; left:0px; height:86px; list-style:none; float:left; padding-left:20px; border-left-width: 3px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: #FFF; } #ourproject ul:hover { color:#FF9900; border-left-color: #F90; padding-left:20px; } #ourproject ul ul { position:relative; visibility:hidden; z-index:2000; background-color:#0E1221; font-size: 12px; width: 602px; display: inline-block; height: 45px; float: left; top:25px; left:-23px; } #ourproject ul li { display: inline-block; margin-right:30px; height: 25px; float: left; margin-top:4px; width: 125px; } #ourproject ul:hover ul { visibility:visible; } #ourproject ul ul li{ width:80px; padding: 0; text-align:left; } In IE9 compatibility view, the menu is distorted. I have tried playing with widths of the #ourproject ul, changed it to 50px and turned on overflow:hidden. It made the other divs jump in, but there is a weird blank space bwteen where the div is cut off bu overflow, and the place where next one starts. I have tried to put in links with photos, but forum does not allow me to. please if someone can help me, i will send them on e-mail or pm, if needed. I hope to get some answer soon! Please ask any more question if you need to- i will be happy to answer. Thanks in advance. I am a bit new to CSS and am currently in the process of converting a design over to CSS2 and have run into come difficulty. I've created a list based horizontal menu and I want elements to align to both the left and right ends. Simply by adding "float:left" to most of the elements and "float: right" to others, I was able to get it to work, but strangely only in Internet Explorer, not in Firefox. The latter seems to drop my right aligned image onto the next line. For the offending code, please see: http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/top_menu_v1.html http://www.forma3.com/stuff/css/css/right_menu_v1.css Also, any suggestions on the code would be highly appreciated. I have no doubt its more verbose than needed. Hello everyone, I'm trying to center a fixed size div both vertically and horizontally. Everything would work, but, as usual ... IE doesn't know how to handle it properly. Let me explain: Code:

If you copy and paste it to explorer, everything might even look good. But if you resize the browser to be just a little bit larger than the black div, you'll notice that both vertical and horizontal scrollbars appear. Why is this happening? How do i prevent IE from acting stupid? I've tested with ie6 and ie7. Hey guys, Im having a bit of a confusing problem at the moment, im trying to center my navigation menu inside my fixed width. This is how it currently looks like: Im trying to center it so it doesnt matter how many <li>'s there are it will still be centered. Here is my HTML: PHP Code: <center> <div class="main_menu"> <ul> <li> <a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="#">Services</a></li> <li> <a href="#">Portfolio</a></li> <li> <a href="#">Portfolio</a></li> <li> <a href="#">Portfolio</a></li> </ul> </div> </center> And here is my CSS: Code: .main_menu
{
border:1px solid;
width:898px;
margin-bottom:5px;
background-color:#333333;
height:30px;
line-height:30px;
color:#000000;
position:relative;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:13px;
text-align: center;
}
.main_menu ul
{
position:relative;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
list-style:none;
cursor:pointer;
}
.main_menu ul li
{
list-style-position:inside;
cursor:pointer;
text-align: center;
padding:0;
margin:0;
float:left;
background:#333333;
}
.main_menu ul li a
{
cursor:pointer;
text-align: center;
color:#FFF;
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
padding:0 25px;
}
.main_menu ul li a:hover
{
cursor:pointer;
text-align: center;
background:#3ea5ea;
color:#000;
}
I have a small problem and I can't figure out what it is that's causing it as the CSS used to replicate the issue doesn't really give any insight as to why things are getting ****ed up. My site is: ( jump for joy I got my routers firewall to forward port 80 ) http://24.224.254.115/~wayne/moorhousehome.ca/NEW The CSS in question will work, but I have comments after the two lines that cause issues. Code: css
#inner-wrap{/*there is no outer-wrap*/
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:50%; /*causes the main body to clear the navigation*/
margin-left:-400px; /*causes the main body to clear the navigation*/
}
If I comment out both lines the issue goes away, but the horizontal centering disappears too. If I uncomment either of them the issue reappears. I will leave the issue live on my website while people have a look. And once I fix this I will be fixing the two images in the bottom left corner with the text beneath each one. There won't be a hover over effect as there is in Firefox. Hi, I am wanting a site that is vertically and horizontally centered. I have achieved to vertically center in both FF and IE but now I am having horizontal centering problems which is usually the easy part. I have tried many different methods and I am not able to center it in FF but I am able to center in IE. If someone could help me that would be great.

I hope someone can help me with this, I've been messing with it for hours, and it /seems/ like it should be simple. Take a look at this page. I am trying to extend the green background of the nav bar over to the black line on the right hand side, and to center the css buttons so that the whole nav is centered within the containing div (the black lines on the web page.) Here is the relevant page code: PHP Code: <div id="navbar" class="nav"> <ul> <li class="first"><a href="/admin/events/">SUBSCRIBE</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/photos/">ISSUES</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/content/">PURCHASE CATALOG</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/press/">SELLERS GUIDE</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">PRODUCTS</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">NEWSLETTERS</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">EVENTS</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">BLOGS</a></li> <li><a href="/admin/resources/">ABOUT US</a></li> </ul> </div> and here is the CSS for the nav bar: PHP Code: #navbar { width: 768px; text-align: center; background-color: #098E00; margin-top: 35px; } .nav ul { width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; font-size: 11px; } /* any li element within .nav container */ .nav li { float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; border-left: 1px solid #fff; } /* any anchor in a .nav list item element */ .nav li a { display: block; /* expand to fill parent li */ margin: 0; /* no space between anchors */ padding: 3px 6px 3px 6px; text-decoration: none; /* no underline */ color: #fff; /* override default link color */ background-color: #098E00; } /* 1st list item has no left border */ .nav li.first { border-left: 0 none; } /* rollover effect */ .nav li a:hover { background-color: #ccc; } How do I center the nav bar, and make it so that the CSS buttons are centered on a green background that goes from the left hand black line to the right hand black line? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. Hi, I would like to center a div inside another div (both vertical and horizontal) in such a way that the inner div would move/reside depending on the content inside it. In other words I have two divs; outerDiv and innerDiv. InnerDiv will have more html inside it and I would like innerDiv to always be in the middle of outerDiv regardless of its content. I did some research on the internet and I managed to achieve the following: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

However with the above code, innerDiv does not re-position it-self correctly based on its content. Is what I need possible? Regards, Sim085 Hello! I used CSS to vertically center my web site however when it is viewed in the horizontal mode on an iphone, the site is cut off and not centered. How can I fix this? Here is the css I used to center the site: #wrapper { width:850px; height:650px; position:absolute; top:50%; margin-top:-325px; left:50%; margin-left:-425px; } And here is the site: (URL address blocked: google Maid Marian Muffins) I need the result to be fully functional i.e. zoom & pinching functions must still work. Hi all, I've got a horizontal menu that is working just fine in every browser but IE 6 and 7. In IE it's almost there, except that the submenus will only appear one level deep. The menu is created with nested lists. The :hover functionality is simulated via JavaScript for IE 6. The IE developer toolbar shows the 3rd level menu is correctly being changed to display: block when its parent is hovered, and the border the dev toolbar draws even puts it in the correct place, it just doesn't actually appear. You can find the page he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/ The CSS and JS (uses jQuery) can be found he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/screen.css http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/ie.css (loaded with a conditional comment) http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/tdps.js http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/ie.js (loaded with a conditonal comment) For a specific example of what I'm talking about, try hovering over the second item, Filters & Parts. This will give you another level with four choices. Each of those also has child elements, but when hovered over, the next level doesn't appear. Try it in something other than IE 6 or 7 to see how it's supposed to look. Thanks very much in advance! Ok, I know virtually nothing about css, but realized that that a css menu is better for SEO. Anyway I found this vertical menu that works the way I want it. But I also need a horizontal version of it with dropdown submenus. Can someone help with this? I have been trying a bunch of things but it just looks awful and doesn't work right. It has 3 basic componets; Html, Javascript, and css. Here they are below. drop_down.js: Code: // JavaScript Document
startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
}
node.onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
}
}
}
}
}
window.onload=startList;

I think I have the basics down to making my ul navigation list display as a nav bar. The rules I am using are
Code:
div#navigation
{

color: #ffffff;
margin: 4px 0 0 0;
}
div#navigation ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 8px; }
div#navigation ul li { margin-right: 50px; width: 200px; display: inline; }
div#navigation ul li a { color: #ffffff; width: 400px; }
div#navigation ul li a:hover { background: #255599; }
and the corresponding html Code:
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><a href="/" title="The Company">Company</a></li>
<li><a href="/" title="Our Solutions">Projects</a></li>
<li><a href="/" title="What We Do">Services</a></li>
<li><a href="/" title="Contact Us">Contact</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="/" title="What people are saying">Testimonials</a></li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- navigation -->
Now, the problem is that I am trying to make the links seem like "buttons" or blocks. I cannot get them to a) have a width; or b) expand to the width of the list item (which I cannot give a specified width to either). I am still working with the design in firefox so I haven't ventured into getting it to work in IE. The XHTML is completely valid as is the rest of the stylesheet. I can post more if necessary, but does anyone have a bone? Hi ppl I'm trying to figure out how to do the following list, with CSS Is there any way that the boxes can accomodate themselves based on the width of their container's space? I mean, if the width of the site is reduced, maybe some box from the 1st row will go down, and so... Thanks I've been fighting with this for a good couple of days here so I figure it's time to come ask people who might have a better idea than I do. I've been trying to get this list to display on a horizontal bar. It's not a navigation bar that's an integral part of the site's layout, just an unordered list that I need to have go across a line instead of down. I got the code from a site that does pre made menus because I'm still new to all of this so, you know, blah life story. Ha. My HTML looks like this: Code: <li><a href="#url">2005<!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul class="sub pos1">
<li><a class="sub2" href="#">August<!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<div class="border b1"></div>
<div class="base div1">
<h4>August 2005</h4>
<p>August 29</p>
<p>New school division office will be in Weyburn</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#url">Section 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#url">Section 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#url">Section 3</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->
</li>
and I'm still not really sure what part of the code is the CSS affecting this but I think? it's this: Code: #verticalNav :hover ul.toplevel :hover ul.sub :hover div.base ul {float:left; padding:0; margin:0; list-style:none; width:200px;}
#verticalNav :hover ul.toplevel :hover ul.sub :hover div.base ul li {display:block; float:left; width:150px; height:auto; padding:0; margin:0;}
#verticalNav :hover ul.toplevel :hover ul.sub :hover div.base ul li a {width:190px; padding-left:10px; background:#fff url(vertical-list/dot.gif) no-repeat left center; color:#000; border:0; margin:0; height:auto; line-height:18px;}
#verticalNav :hover ul.toplevel :hover ul.sub :hover div.base ul li a:hover {color:#069;}
Is there a way to over ride this code so I can put the list on a single line? I'm staring at the emoticon bashing its head against a wall and it seems pretty accurate at this point. Hi, I'm trying to make a horizontal list using li tags. I got the text to align horizontally but the bullet icons I want to use (or even when I try with the default bullets) don't appear. Can anyone help me out with this? Here's the code : Code:
#onlineToolsNav ul {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom : 0px;
margin-left : 5px;
padding: 0px;
line-height: 25px;
white-space: nowrap;
display : inline;
}
#onlineToolsNav li {
display: inline;
list-style-image: url(onlineArrow.jpg);
list-style: url(onlineArrow.jpg);
}
#onlineToolsNav li:before {
content: url(onlineArrow.jpg);
}
#onlineToolsNav li.first:before {
content: " ";
}
<div id="onlineToolsNav">
<ul>
<li><a href="link1.html">link1</a></li>
<li><a href="link2.html">link2</a></li>
<li><a href="link3.html">link3</a></li>
<li><a href="link4.html">link4</a></li>
<li><a href="link5.html">link5</a></li>
<li><a href="link6.html">link6</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Thanx Olografix Hi, I have been developing my own website for some time now, and have asked a lot of questions, and checked other CSS resources to do a horizontal list. I have managed to create a horizontal list and it looks very good in my website. However I wish to improve this. At the moment I have to give a width for each element in my list. This means that if I have 5 elements in my list then I set the following CSS property in the ul li as follows: Code: div#header ul li {
width: 20%;
padding: 0px;
}
If the elements become four then I would set the width equals to 25% and so on. I would like to change this so that the list will still appear the same without me having to set the width. This would mean I do not need to change the CSS file each time I add a new element in my list. My list is inside a div tag. I would like to have the elements inside that list extend through the whole space of the div. I have checked other websites to see the examples they give, however they all seem to only provide an example with a width. Is this possible? Or I have to always set the width of the li element? I am sorry if I am not clear enough. Thanks for any suggestions. Regards, Sim085 I'm making a horizontal navigation menu using lists and CSS. It looks fine in IE, but in Mozilla, the double border on the bottom appears just beneath the top one, and the next line shows up after the unordered list. Hard to explain - you'd basically have to check it out for yourself: http://www.michaelaparicio.com/ Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Regards, Mike Aparicio |
