How do i make this nav 100% wide? - html

So i followed this tutorial (http://medialoot.com/blog/how-to-create-a-responsive-navigation-menu-using-only-css/) and made a responsive menu. But it's not 100% wide and i can't seem to make it so. Can you guys tell me how to fix it?
Here is the code:

Here is your working and clean code. The navigation is in center and you can preview in full-screen.
Explanation
Position: absolute should be in your dropdown navigation
Need not to use display:inline-block and float together.
Always clear the float after the last floated element so that parent element can wrap it properly.
Set the #menu id to max-width and set the margin: auto
Suggestion : You should use media-queries for responsive navigation.

It's because you have position:absolute; on the ul. This takes it out of the .nav flow making it's height 0. So you either need to explicitly give the .nav a height, or make the ul a different position type.

You need to add a media call to your CSS to change the ul format on smaller screen sizes.
/*Responsive Styles*/
#media screen and (max-width : 760px){
/*Make dropdown links appear inline*/
ul {
position: static;
}
/*Create vertical spacing*/
li {
margin-bottom: 1px;
}
/*Make all menu links full width*/
ul li, li a {
width: 100%;
}
}

How to center a “position: absolute” topnav with dropdown

I am using the pure css menu from this site. It works fine, but if I try to center or right-align the menu when it is not in 'hamburger menu' mode, I cannot get it to work.
I have tried the solutions from this stackoverflow question but it messes up the menu. The li-elements get placed beklow each other and/or the dropdown menus appear in wrong places.
So how can I center or right align this menu without messing it up? Any help is appreciated!

You can use flexbox to align your content:
#media (min-width: 768px) {
#menu {
width: 100%;
display: flex;
justify-content: center; /* or use end */
}
}
You can use this code
body {
margin: 0;
}
/*Strip the ul of padding and list styling*/
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
}

Thanks for helping.
You are declaring all of your ul elements as position:absolute. You will need to change your ul id="menu" item to static positioning, and also give it a defined width since you are defining the width of your li a elements. Check your updated fiddle here. Simply add the following to your css:
#menu {
width:705px;
margin:0 auto;
display:block;
position:static;
}

Problems with CSS nav-bar

I am trying to create a nav-bar using HTML and CSS. However, the nav-Bar doesn't stretch to the end of the page like I would like it to. I have tried using padding-left-: 0px and padding-right: 0px; however this does not work.

width: 100%;
top: 0;
transition: top 0.2s ease-out;
}
.banner {
text-align: center;
line-height: $banner-height;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
background: #FEFFB7;
box-shadow: inset 0px -1px 0px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.13);
}

The problem:
(View in full screen to see the full problem).
Updated: Solution in snippet, flexbox and paddding left for the UL set to 0.
Seeing some inconsistent behavior with the embedded snippet, so here is a fiddle:

Overflow:hidden doesn't appear to work

I am creating a responsive menu and use only html and css for this.
But when I try to add content to the site it starts the div in the menu. I already tried to use overflow:hidden on the div around the entire menu but for some reason this doesn't work.
I created another menu and used overflow:hidden on the div around the menu and that worked but sadly can't used it because it has no dropdown menu.
I hope I provided you with enough information to help me other wise just asked!
Thanks.

What you want has nothing to do with overflow.
Because on devices wider than 1201px your menu has position:absolute, you are removing it from normal flow of the document. If you don't want it to be rendered overlapping the page content, you need to set a top-padding on your content and place the menu in the provided space:
#media (min-width: 1201px){
body {
padding-top: 51px;
}
#menu {
top: 0;
}
}
#font-face
{
font-family: 'Gautami';
src: url('gautami.ttf');
}
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#menu {
width: 100%;
}
/*Strip the ul of padding and list styling*/
ul {
list-style-type: none;

padding: 0;

As a side-note, your CSS is way too general. For starters, you don't want all unordered lists in your website to have position:absolute

Align Nav bar to right

Hi I have this navbar and wondering how to alight it to the right.
I've tried float:right but doesn't work. Also tried div align but not working
as well. I'm new to css though.
<div align="right">
<ul id="menu">
<li>Home</li>
<li>
About ↓
<ul class="hidden">
<li>Who We Are</li>
<li>What We Do</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

Here's the link to codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/JoJqMZ
The align="right" attribute is deprecated. Don't use it!
Either remove the absolute positioning on the ul element, and then float the element to the right, or add right: 0.
Updated Example
<div>
<ul id="menu">
<li>Home</li>
<li>
About ↓
<ul class="hidden">
<li>Who We Are</li>
<li>What We Do</li>

Found an answer on my position: relative not absolute
You need to add "width: 100%" in file css.
Code:
ul {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
