Equal horizontal space between links in responsive navigation? - html

Question

I am trying to make horizontal menu navigation. I have several links in navigation, and I would like to have equal horizontal space between them.
How to make links in horizontal menu with equal space between them?
HTML:
<div id="header">
<div class="secondary-navigation">
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement">
<nav id="navigation">
<ul id="menu-main" class="menu">
<li class="menu-item">Link</li>
<li class="menu-item">Link</li>
<li class="menu-item">Link</li>
<li class="menu-item">Link</li>
<li class="menu-item">Link</li>
<li class="menu-item">Link</li>
<li class="menu-item">Link</li>
<li class="menu-item">Link</li>
</ul>
Menu
</nav>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#header {
position: relative;

}
#navigation ul li:hover ul {

opacity: 1;
top: 81px;
}
#navigation ul ul li:hover ul {
top: -1px;
left: -228px;
padding-top: 0;
}
#navigation ul ul ul:after { border-color: transparent }
I tried something like this, but it does not work for me.

Answer 1

You can use justify-content: space-between or justify-content: space-around flexbox property
ul {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
border: 1px solid black;
list-style-type: none;
padding: 10px;
margin: 0;
}
<ul>
<li>Random Link</li>
<li>Random Link</li>
<li>Random Link</li>
<li>Random Link</li>
</ul>
