I Created this page with the help of some tutorial and I edited the code to attach a text box in the center of the page but the text box is mixing with the navigation menu. Some Help Would be appreciated. I have very less knowledge of html and css so please guide me in a simple way. I searched on the google and also got a w3 article but that did not help as I have used it in the css as yu can can see I have used margin-top , bottom , left and right to solve problem but instead it is mixing or overlapping it self with the navigation menu.

You have to add
.background {
clear: both;
}
This is to clear the float: left that was applied before.

So I am new in this HTML thing and I am experimenting with a navigation bar. With when I hover over a li/a element I get another color for the full height of the navigation bar.
This is what I get first
body{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.header{
width: 100%;
height: 55px;
background-color: #ecf0f1;
text-align: right;
overflow: hidden;
}
.navbar ul{
}
.navbar ul li{
list-style-type: none;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
}
.navbar ul li a{
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
font-family: 'Franklin Gothic';
padding: 50px;
height: 100%;
}
.navbar ul li:hover{
background-color: #bdc3c7;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/style.css">

<body>
<div class="header">
<div class="navbar">

<li>1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
<li>4</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And then I changed a few things in the code and came up with this (Here is the second experiment result) (erasing overflow:hidden; and changed it with line-height:55px;)
I got the full height hover but there's a white gap between the browser window and my navigation bar.
body{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.header{
width: 100%;
height: 55px;
background-color: #ecf0f1;
text-align: right;
line-height: 55px;
}
.navbar ul{
}
.navbar ul li{
list-style-type: none;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
}
.navbar ul li a{
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
font-family: 'Franklin Gothic';
padding: 50px;
height: 100%;
}
.navbar ul li:hover{
background-color: #bdc3c7;
}
I know there's a bunch of similar questions like mine and I've read them before asking here, but I still don't get the result that I want.
Here you go, your navbar needs margin removed, so check the code ..
EDIT: I also modified a a little bit, so it doesn't overflow navbar and fills full height of it.
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.header {
width: 100%;
height: 55px;
background-color: #ecf0f1;
text-align: right;
line-height: 55px;
}
.navbar ul {
margin: 0; /* <--- THIS IS WHAT REMOVES BLANK SPACE ABOVE/BELOW NAVBAR */
}
.navbar ul li {
list-style-type: none;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
}
.navbar ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
font-family: 'Franklin Gothic';
padding: 0 50px; /* more proper use of padding */
line-height: 55px; /* line-height to allow full clickable area */
display: block; /* so the line-height can be applied */
}
.navbar ul li:hover {
background-color: #bdc3c7;
}

Ok, so this is what my site currently looks like. (I can't post an actual pic here apparently) http://imgur.com/Cqb2rf2
Is there a way to align that picture with the Home | About Me | Contact nav bar?
Also, as you can see, the borders to the right of Home and About Me are too close to the text. Can I center that between them somehow? I'm slowly building my first site as I teach myself, so i really appreciate your help!
Here's my code:
#firstpic {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#propic {
width: 15%;
}
#navigation {
border-bottom: 2px dotted #000000;
}
.bh {
border-right: 2px solid black;
}
.navbar {
font-size: 50px;
text-align: center;
font-family: Courier;
}
.navbar li {
display: inline;
}
<html>
<head>
<title>NAV test</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="navigation">
<div id="firstpic"><img src="D:\Testnavbar\Images\Profile Pic.png" id="propic"/></div>
<ul class="navbar">
<li class="bh">Home</li>
<li class="bh">About Me</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You can set the image div and the ul to display inline...
See this demo
#firstpic {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
display: inline;
}
.navbar {
font-size: 50px;
text-align: center;
font-family: Courier;
display: inline;
}
Or this demo for inline-block
Set the divs to be inline-block and vertical-align:middle
#firstpic {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
display: inline-block;
width: 15%;
vertical-align: middle;
background: red;
height: 50px;
}
#navigation {
border-bottom: 2px dotted #000000;
}
ul {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
li {
border-right: 2px solid black;
padding-right: 1rem;
}
li:last-child {
border-right: none;
}
.navbar {
font-size: 20px; /* for demo purposes only */
text-align: center;
font-family: Courier;
}
.navbar li {
display: inline-block;
}
<div id="navigation">
<div id="firstpic">
<img src="D:\Testnavbar\Images\Profile Pic.png" id="propic" />
</div>
<ul class="navbar">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About Me</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
Add padding-right to push the list text away from the border.
To move the separator over, try adding "padding-right: 20px;" to .navbar li:
.navbar li {
display: inline;
padding-right: 20px;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/lemoncurry/2xat53n8/
Make the picture one of the list item elements so it displays in-line with the other navigation links.
Give .navbar a fixed height.
Set it to vertical-align middle.
Give it a line-height equal to the .navbar height.
#firstpic {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 150px;
}
#navigation {
border-bottom: 2px dotted #000000;
text-align: center;
height: 100px;
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: 100px;
}
.bh {
border-right: 2px solid black;
}
ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.navbar {
font-size: 50px;
font-family: Courier;
}
.navbar li {
display: inline;
}
<body>
<div id="navigation">
<ul class="navbar">
<li id="firstpic"><img src="D:\Testnavbar\Images\Profile Pic.png" id="propic"/></li>
<li class="bh">Home</li>
<li class="bh">About Me</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div></body>
I am trying to develop a website which contains dropdown menu and in the next division below menu there is a slider division but when mouse is hover on menu the submenu displays and the slider division is shifts down.
So can anyone suggest how I can accomplish the task
The code is as follows
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#header{
height: 90px;
}
#navigation{
height: 30px;
background-color: #0099FF;
border: 1px solid #0099FF;
border-radius: 10px;
z-index:1000;
}
ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
ul li {
display: block;
position: relative;
float: left;
padding-right: 40px;
}
li ul {
display: none;
}
ul li a {
display: block;
padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
}
ul li a:hover {
background: #00CCFF;
}
li:hover ul {
display: block;
z-index: 1000;
}
li:hover li {
float: none;
}
li:hover a {
background: #00CCFF;
}
li:hover li a:hover {
background: #D2F5FF;
}
#drop-nav li ul li {
border-top: 0px;
}
#clearmenu{
clear: left;
}
#sliderandnews{
height: 300px;
}
#slidermain{
height: 300px;
width: 65%;
float: left;
}
#news{
height: 300px;
width: 33%;
border: 2px solid #F0FFFF;
border-radius: 20px;
float: right;
background-color: #F0FFFF;
}
.clear{
height: 40px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">

<div id="navigation">

</div>
<div id="news">

</div>
</body>
</html>
The problem is that your elements are relative positioned. So, when the submenu appears, all elements below are shifted down. You can add absolute positioning to navigation bar, and determine its displacement from top using the top property in CSS. This allows you to eliminate #header (which has only the role to give a top margin).
#navigation{
position:absolute;
top:90px;
}
Similarly you can do with the #sliderandnews block. Since you've given an absolute positioning to navigation menu, navigation is removed from HTML elements flow inside the page. To compensate this, you have to add a proper top margin to this element.
#sliderandnews{
height: 300px;
margin-top:190px;
}
And here's the final fiddle.
I've this site:
[Removed - problem solved]
As you can see, if you look at the navigation bar, buttons don't fill it, thus making it to look ugly.
I want to know if there is a way to calculate the button's width in a manner that no matter how many buttons I'll have, they'll always fill the entire page's width, thus only allowing a small stripe below them to be seen.
This is the CSS:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
li {
float: left;
}
a:link, a:visited {
display: block;
width: 120px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #359DFF;
text-align: center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
a:hover,a:active {
transition-property: background-color;
background-color: #33CCFF;
transition-duration: 1s;
}
.navbg {
background-color: #33CCFF;
position: absolute;
top: 70px;
width: 100%;
height: 32px;
z-index: -1;
}
Just change the li width
li {
width: 20%;
float: left;
}
The solution of this problem is in your HTML, you have to put your in your navigation bar.
for the moment you have:
<header>
<h2>Liceul Teoretic Dunarea</h2>
<ul>
<li>Acasa</li>
<li>Proiecte</li>
<li>Management</li>
<li>Profesori</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</header>
<div class="navbg">
te
</div>
It should be like that:
<header>
<h2>Liceul Teoretic Dunarea</h2>
</header>
<div class="navbg">
<ul>
<li>Acasa</li>
<li>Proiecte</li>
<li>Management</li>
<li>Profesori</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
Change your code like the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- WEBSITE DE DUMITROV CRISTIAN -->
<head>
<title>Liceul Teoretic Dunarea</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/stil.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h2>Liceul Teoretic Dunarea</h2>
</header>
<div class="navbg">
<ul>
<li>Acasa</li>
<li>Proiecte</li>
<li>Management</li>
<li>Profesori</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
<footer>
<div class="footertxt">
<p><em>(C) Liceul Teoretic Dunarea<br>2013 [MMXIII]</em></p>
</div>
</footer>
</body>
Also add the following CSS:
.navbg ul{width:100%;margin:0 auto;}
.navbg {
display: block !important;
height: auto !important;
overflow: visible !important;
padding-bottom: 0;
}
.navbg ul > li {
display: table-cell;
width: 1%;
float: none;
position: relative;
}
.navbg ul > li > a {
background-color: #E5E5E5;
color: #777777;
font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-bottom: 15px;
padding-top: 15px;
text-align: center;
display: block;
padding: 10px 15px;
position: relative;
}
I am trying to make a basic site with HTML & CSS, with a navigation bar, but I have a problem with it [below]:
body
{
background-color: #666;
}
.font_title
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
#title
{
width: 800px;
}
#container
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
height: 995px;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
#navigation_holder
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
}
.navigation_button
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #09C;
}
.navigation_button:hover
{
background-color: #09F;
}
<div id="container"> <!-- The main container -->
<div class="font_title", id="title"> Our Site</div>
<div id="navigation_holder">
<div id="navigation_button_1", class="navigation_button"> Home </div>
<div id="navigation_button_2", class="navigation_button"> About </div>
<div id="navigation_button_3", class="navigation_button"> Services </div>
<div id="navigation_button_4", class="navigation_button"> Contact </div>
</div>
<!-- More DIVs in the container -->
</div>
The problem is - all my navigation buttons are stacked up ontop of each other, not on a row. What am I doing wrong?
Instead of making them divs, use anchor tags inside lists. Here's the image and the complete working code for you:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body
{
background-color: #666;
}
.font_title
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
#title
{
width: 800px;
}
#container
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
height: 995px;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
#navigation_holder
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
}
.navigation_button
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #09C;
}
.navigation_button:hover
{
background-color: #09F;
}
ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
overflow:hidden;
}
li
{
float:left;
}
a:link,a:visited
{
display:block;
width:200px;
font-family: "Segoe UI";
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #09C;
}
a:hover,a:active
{
background-color: #09F;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container"> <!-- The main container -->
<div class="font_title", id="title"> Our Site</div>
<div id="navigation_holder">
<ul>
<li id="navigation_button_1" > Home </li>
<li id="navigation_button_2" > About </li>
<li id="navigation_button_3" > Services </li>
<li id="navigation_button_4" > Contact </li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- More DIVs in the container -->
</div>
</body>
</html>
The problem is that divs are block elements, thus they naturally position themselves on top of each other. You can use several methods to get them to behave. Applying a display: inline-block to your .navigation_button class is what I would prefer in most cases. In this case, however, a float: left will work just as well.
The two methods have their benefits and drawbacks, but floats can become problematic because they essentially become unrecognizable to non-floated elements (in the same way position: absolute does).
As an aside, if I were you, I'd pull the height off your container, change #navigation_holder to a <nav>, and perhaps even pull the ids (and possibly even the classes!) off of your individual navigation elements. Heck, you could even take out the inner divs entirely, and replace them with a ul whose li were display: inline (it would be more semantic).
You could then reference them like this:
.navigation_holder ul li {
display: inline;
padding-left: 40px; /* or whatever */
}
And if you need to target only the first or last:
.navigation_holder ul li:first-of-type {
// styles
}
.navigation_holder ul li:last-of-type {
// styles
}
To pop the default styles off the ul:
.navigation_holder ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
A reply to your question, and a question to your question...
What are you looking for?
Here are 3 examples:
1 Providing you wanted a normal left hand horizontal inline-list you would do:
HTML
<div id="navigation_holder">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
#navigation_left ul
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
#navigation_left ul li { display: inline; }
#navigation_left ul li a
{
font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Helvetica",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #DDD;
background-color: #0099CF;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#navigation_left ul li a:hover
{
color: #FFF;
background-color: #00BEF9;
}
2 Providing you want to center your li elements.
HTML
<div id="navigation_center">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
#navigation_center ul
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}
#navigation_center ul li { display: inline; }
#navigation_center ul li a
{
font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Helvetica",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #DDD;
background-color: #0099CF;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#navigation_center ul li a:hover
{
color: #FFF;
background-color: #00BEF9;
}
3 Providing you want to center your li elements with a solid background.
HTML
<div id="navigation_center_full">
<ul class="full">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
#navigation_center_full ul
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #DDD;
background-color: #0099CF;
}
#navigation_center_full ul li { display: inline; }
#navigation_center_full ul li a
{
font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Helvetica",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #DDD;
background-color: #0099CF;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#navigation_center_full ul li a:hover
{
color: #FFF;
background-color: #00BEF9;
}
Pretty sure this should help you.
Why you dont use <ul> and <li> tags? I think is better. Then in CSS you must use:
display: inline
One example in: http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_float5
