I am just getting back to working with websites, and cannot for the life of me center this navigation bar. I have floated the header over to the left, and feel like I have tried every possibly property, but it just will not center. Any help would be very appreciated.
Not centered NavBar:
.container {
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #fff;
}
.header-heading {
float: left;
padding-top: 8px;
padding-left: 5px;
color: #ddd;
font-size: 30px;
}
.nav-bar {
background: #000;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.nav {
margin: auto;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<title>Web Report Demo</title>
<styles></styles>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="ed.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1 class="header-heading">Web Reporting Demo</h1>
<div class="nav-bar">
<ul class="nav">
<li>Daily Master</li>
<li>Route Progress</li>
<li>UL Move Query</li>
<li>Stock Query</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
This should work
.container {
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #000;
position:relative;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
}
.header-heading {
position: absolute;
top:-20px;
left:5px;
color: #ddd;
font-size: 30px;
}
.nav-bar {
padding-top: 5px;
}
.nav {
margin: auto;
padding: 5px;
list-style: none;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
.nav li {
display: inline;
padding: 5px;
}
.nav li a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
}
You will need to do some changes as you work in your responsive design.
Try giving the .container text-align: center.

I'm trying to make scroll nav like youtube nav
I want to make the scroll-horizontal div get the width of the inline-block elemtns which is <li>
I want someway to make the scroll-horizontal div get the current width automatically even if I added more <li> elements to the nav later
<body>
<nav>
<div class="scroll-horizontal">
<li class=" menu-item"><a class="active" href="">Home</a></li>
<li class=" menu-item">Models</li>
<li class="menu-item">Photos</li>
<li class="menu-item">Videos</li>
<li class="menu-item">Youtube</li>
<li class="menu-item">Links</li>
</div>
</nav>
<style type="text/css">
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0
}
/*NAV*/
nav{
width: 100% !important;
background: red;
overflow: auto;
}
.scroll-horizontal{
min-width: 300%;
}
nav li{
list-style: none;
display: inline-block;
}
nav a{
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
color: #444;
display: block;
padding: 0 20px;
width: 100px;
}
</style>
</body>
the nav that youtube has:
youtube nav
you can see that the nav that they had don't have empty space at the end of the nav like what I have
this might partly answer your question:
As I understand it, the horizontal scroll arrows for the tab menu on youtube are shown, depending on the window width. So I would use the css '#media' rule to specify the width, when the arrows should be displayed. Here is a solution that displays both left and right arrows as soon as the window gets too narrow to display the complete menu:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
*{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
font-family: Arial;
background-color: #eee;
}
div.scrollmenu {
padding: 0 38px 0 38px;
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
background-color: #fff;
}
div.scrollmenu a {
display: inline-block;
color: #000;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #fff;
}
div.scrollmenu a:hover {
background-color: #aaa;
}
#btn-scroll-lft {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: #fff;
padding: 15px;
border: 0px;
height: 46px;
font-weight: bold;
display: none;
}
#btn-scroll-rgt {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
background-color: #fff;
padding: 15px;
border: 0px;
height: 46px;
font-weight: bold;
display: none;
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
#btn-scroll-lft {
display: block;
}
#btn-scroll-rgt {
display: block;
}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<button id="btn-scroll-lft" onclick="scrollWinLeft()"><</button>
<div class="scrollmenu" id="scrollmenu">

</div>
<button id="btn-scroll-rgt" onclick="scrollWinRight()">></button>
<script>
function scrollWinLeft() {
document.getElementById('scrollmenu').scrollBy(-100,0);
}
function scrollWinRight() {
document.getElementById('scrollmenu').scrollBy(100, 0);
}
</script>

I am trying to center everything vertically inside the container of the navbar, called (header-area) such that everything is inline. At the moment the img, left navigation and right navigation are all aligned differently in the container.
An alternative solution is welcome, too.

Add the following styles to menu-main-menu ul
display: flex;
align-items: center;
Your .logo-wrap value has a float value of left, so you'll want to make sure the other children have a similar quality to appear inline. To do this, add a float: left; styling with your header-left class. For this example, I shrunk the font size and padding to demonstrate the new float value and padding.
I highly recommend researching 'flex' to align your navigation. With flex, you can treat each nav item (logo, links, buttons) as child, and align them vertically with justify-content: center;. This way you won't have to worry about floats or padding issues.

I changed your font-size for demonstration purpose
Okay, here it goes:
I am creating my first website. Immediately come across a problem which seems difficult to overcome.
I want to center my image between the header and footer which will stay centered vertically and horizontally, regardless of screen size.
I've seen examples using flexbox where you can center text and whatnot in the middle of the target area. Seems like its useful. I tried it but maybe i haven't applied it correctly.
My code so far

Checkout this fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/8cyjc9qw/
.mid {
height: 70vh;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
I have used some other examples to demonstrate how it would look. I have used vh for header and footer and assign the remaining height to main content section and use flexbox to center the image. Hope this helps.
I have this html below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="event.css">
</head>
<body>
<header class="header-container">
<div class="navigation">
<div class="navigation-content">
<h1 class="heading">
Test
</h1>
<ul class="heading-list">
<li>Sell<img src="money.png"></li>
<li>Buy<span><img src="tickets.png"></li>
<li>Sign in<span><img src="locked.png"></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</header>
</body>
</html>
And this css below:
body {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 14px;
background-color: #F6F8F9;
}
.header-container {
background-color: #260354;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
}
.navigation {
width: 100%;
max-width: 1280px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.navigation-content {
padding: 15px 30px;
border-bottom: none;
}
.heading {
color: white;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: inline-block;
}
.heading-list {
float: right;
list-style: none;
overflow: hidden;
}
.heading-list li {
color: white;
float: left;
padding-right: 30px;
}
.heading-list li img {
color: white;
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
margin-left: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
In the navigation list on the top right (ul) I want to center those images with the li text in my css. I tried putting text-align: center; on the .heading-list li img but it is not centering the image. Is there something else I have to do?
You can use flexbox, as I used in this example

font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Roboto,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 14px;
background-color: #F6F8F9;
}
.header-container {
background-color: #260354;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
}
.navigation {
width: 100%;
max-width: 1280px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.navigation-content {
padding: 15px 30px;
border-bottom: none;
}
.heading {
color: white;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: inline-block;
}
.heading-list {
float: right;
list-style: none;
overflow: hidden;
}
.heading-list li {
color: white;
float: left;
padding-right: 30px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.heading-list li img {
color: white;
width: 24px;

So an image by default has a display type of inline-block. To enable it to be centered, include the following in your images css.
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto
I have page where I want to put navigation bar Menu on the left side of the page. I'm struggling to align text in a tag to the left side. I tried text align to all three elements a,ul and li but that still didn't fix the problem. Also I have the problem with my horizontal navigation bar. I would like to be aligned with h3 tag in my contentMain div. I'm not sure why my two div's are not next to each other as well. if someone can see where my code is off please let me know. Thanks.
div.container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.navMenuLeft {
width: 180px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
position: relative;
vertical-align: top;
float: left;
display: block;
background-color: white;
}
.navMenuLeft h3 {
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 0;
background-color: #000099;
color: white;
text-align: left;
padding-left: 5px;
}
.contentMain h3 {
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
background-color: #000099;

It's hard to tell what you want... but I can explain the 'reports' alignment. It's in a ul tag - which has default padding and margins. text-align: left; is the default across the board for all elements already.

<nav class='y-navigation'>

<li class='item'>
<a href='#'>Reports</a>

ul {
list-style: none;

I made several changes on your code. Is this what you want to achieve? .navMenuLeft and .contentMain next to each other?
body {
margin: 0;
}
div.container {
width: 100vw;
height: 100%;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.navMenuLeft {
width: 180px;
}
.navMenuLeft h3 {
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 0;
background-color: #000099;
color: white;
padding-left: 5px;
}
.contentMain h3 {
background-color: #000099;
color: white;
margin: 0;
}
.hfNavLeft {
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.hfNavLeft ul {
list-style: none;
background-color: #d3d3d3;
}
.hfNavLeft ul li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.hfNavLeft a {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
.hfNavLeft a:hover {
color: #999999;
}
.contentMain {
flex-grow: 1;
padding: 0 1rem;
}
.contentMain .hfNavTop {
margin-top: 12px;
}

I'm not sure your require.
If you what align elements on the left side to left.
just add
ul{
padding: 0;
}
