How can I get a list to flow to the side?
The best example ive seen of what I mean is on TruTower's VoIP Page. I'm trying to update my site from old html to new css but cant find the right code.
Prefer OL style (numbers) but UL is okay too.
You may want to look at this jsfiddle for an example to get you started.

ul {
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
li {
float:left;
}
li + li {
border-left:1px solid #ccc;
}
a {
display:block;
padding:7px 10px;
color:#222;
background:#eee;
text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover {
color:#fff;
background:#666;
}
a:active {
color:#fff;
background:#0090cf;
}

I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I'm having. I wanted the text "Liam's Digital Portfolio" to be in the centre of the webpage at the top in line with the navigation bar text. In addition, I then wanted the navigation bar to be on the far right hand corner as shown within the codepen link http://codepen.io/ldocherty1/pen/qRowVK.
I have only started programming and this is my second day and really want to improve, apologies if the code is not in the correct structure.
Below is my HTML code, within the codepen is my CSS if needed.
<div id="Navagationbar">
<ul>
<li><b>HomePage</b></li>
<li><b>Portfolio</b></li>
<li><b>Contact Us</b></li>
<li><b><center>Liam's Digital Portfolio<center></b></li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Thanks,
Liam.
I wish you all the best with your coding journey :) I will give you an easy solution to get the desired effect. First off, cut the padding-top from the body in the css:
padding-top: 180px;
Now from your html, remove
<li><b><center>Liam's Digital Portfolio<center></b></li>
Since this is your page title, it is standard practice to have it inside of h1 tags. Then we can center it with simple css. The html will look like this:
<h1 class="title">Liam's Digital Portfolio</h1>
<div id="Navagationbar">
<ul>
<li><b>HomePage</b></li>
<li><b>Portfolio</b></li>
<li><b>Contact Us</b></li>
</ul>
</div>
And now we can simply add this to the css
.title{text-align:center;}
With the padding-top removed and this added, the title will be in the center of the page inline with the navigation bar. I see you have a lot of issues with your css so I suggest you go through a good tutorial, like this one from w3schools http://www.w3schools.com/css/ . I hope this helps, and good luck!
Make the HTML changes as below
<ul>
<li><b>HomePage</b></li>
<li><b>Portfolio</b></li>
<li><b>Contact Us</b></li>
<li style="position:absolute;right:45%"><b>Liam's Digital Portfolio</b></li>
</ul>
CSS changes as below
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;

How can it be that there are so many answers on this topic and I still can't figure this out? I've been fiddling with the CSS on jsfiddle for hours and I still don't understand why my navigation bar won't center without going into a vertical list.
The html:
<div class='nav'>
<ul class='menu' id='menu'>
<li><a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>home</a></li>
<li><a class='drop-ctg' href='a'>MAKEUP</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='a'>EYES</a></li>
<li><a href='a'>LIPS</a></li>
<li><a href='a'>FACE</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='a'>SKINCARE</a></li>
<li><a href='a'>LIFESTYLE</a></li>
<li><a href='a'>DIY</a></li>
<li><a href='a'>CONTACT</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
and the CSS, I think:
*{
margin:0;
padding:0;
outline:0;
}
.nav {
width:950px;
height:auto;
border-bottom:1px solid #eee;
margin:10px auto 5px;
display:inline-block;
}
.menu {
width:auto;
list-style:none;
font:$pagenavifont;
text-align:center;
margin:0 auto;
}
.menu a {
float:left;
color:#999;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
width:auto;
line-height:36px;
padding:0 20px;
}
.menu a:hover,li.menuhover a{
color:#111;
}
.menu li {
position:relative;
float:left;
width:auto;
}
.menu li:last-child {
background:none;
}
.menu ul{
display:none;
position:absolute;
top:36px;
left:0;
background:#fbfbfb;
display:none;
list-style:none;
}
.menu ul li{
float:none;
border-top:1px solid #e3e3e3;
border-right:1px solid #e3e3e3;
border-left:1px solid #e3e3e3;
width:auto;
background:none;
}
.menu ul li:last-child {
border-bottom:1px solid #e3e3e3
}
.menu ul li a{
float:none;
display:block;
background:none;
line-height:36px;
min-width:137px;
width:auto;
text-align:left;
padding-left:10px;
color:#444;
}
.menu ul li a:hover{
background:#fdfdfd;
color:#777;
}
I just started my blog today, and so far I've learned that getting rid of floats and putting inline-block might help, but there are so many that I really don't get which code applies to what. Any help is appreciated!
Here's the fiddle link: http://jsfiddle.net/vFDrV/9/
Here's the link to my blog: http://theprettyfoxes.blogspot.com/
if I understand correctly your question, its quite simple.
Add the follow code to your menu css class.
.menu { /* applying to a ul element */
/* ... your code ... */
display: inline-block;
}
You can read more about this at the Mozilla Docs
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display
What it's going on when we add "inline-block" is this:
The element generates a block element box that will be flowed with
surrounding content as if it were a single inline box (behaving much
like a replaced element would)
Thats all!
remove float from following:
.menu a {
/*float: left;*/
color: #999;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
width: auto;
line-height: 36px;
padding: 0px 20px;
}
.menu li {
position: relative;
/*float: left;*/
width: auto;
display: inline; /* <- add this */
}
I'am trying to make this in css. Trying to make this navigation bar. Any help would be great.
This is what iam trying to do:
So the first pic is how it should look like when the user enter the website. Then if they hover over the any of the tabs it should just change color. Any help on trying to make this would be great. I tried this but wont work.
HTML:
<div class="horizontal">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Register</li>
<li>Rules</li>
</ul>
</div>
Just need to see what the css would look like. Thanks again
EDIT what i have done as people want 2 see:
div.horizontal
{
width:809px;
height:63px;
position:relative;
top: -1046px;
left: 104px;
}
div.horizontal ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
div.horizontal li
{
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 5px;
}
div.horizontal a
{
display:block;
width:809px;
}
div.horizontal a:link,div.horizontal a:visited
{
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#000000;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
div.horizontal a:hover,div.horizontal a:active
{
background-color:#999999;
}
Like i said this is not right but this is all i can do atm. Thanks
Using your HTML, you can do something like this:
CSS
ul{
list-style:none;
}
li{
float:left;
width:100px;
height:50px;
background:black;
border:2px solid gray;
text-align:center;
}
a{
color:white;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:24px;
font-weight:bold;
line-height:50px;
font-style:italic
}
li:hover{
background:gray;
}
JSFiddle.
Just change the colors.
I am playing around with CSS and so far I'am trying to make a website. I making a navigation bar and it's going down so it's horizontal. I need it to go across and I also need like 1 grey line to separate the tabs out. This is what I got so far.
HTML:
<div class="horizontal">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Register</li>
<li>Rules</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
div.horizontal
{
width:809px;
height:63px;
position:relative;
top: -1046px;
left: 104px;
}
div.horizontal ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
div.horizontal li
{
float:left;
}
div.horizontal a
{
display:block;
width:809px;
}
div.horizontal a:link,div.horizontal a:visited
{
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#000000;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
div.horizontal a:hover,div.horizontal a:active
{
background-color:#999999;
}
So again this goes downwards , i need it to go to the side and just have like a single line which separate every tab out.
div.horizontal
{
width:809px;
height:63px;
position:relative;
left: 104px;
}
div.horizontal ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
div.horizontal li
{
display: inline-block;
margin-left:5px;
}
div.horizontal a
{
display:block;
width:809px;
}
div.horizontal a:link,div.horizontal a:visited
{
font-weight:bold;
display: inline;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#000000;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
div.horizontal a:hover,div.horizontal a:active
{
background-color:#999999;
}

There are some similar questions like this already, but none of those fixes worked for me. I want to float a <li> menu to the right, but I can't get it to do it correctly.
HTML
<div id="topnav"><ul class="topnavlinks"><li class="menu-474 first">Home</li>
<li class="menu-540 active-trail active">Our company</li>
<li class="menu-541">Blog</li>
<li class="menu-930">FAQ</li>
<li class="menu-900 last">Contact</li>
</ul></div>
CSS
#topnav { width:100%; height:14px; background:#b8b8b8; border-bottom:1px solid #989898; }
.topnavlinks { width:980px; margin:0px auto; }
.topnavlinks ul { float:right; }
.topnavlinks li { float:left; }
.topnavlinks a { color:#fff; text-decoration:none; padding:0px 27px; }
Currently it doesn't float to the right at all, and with some other variations I have gotten it to float right, only with reversed order.
Hi I found another solution using display:flex and justify-content:flex-end
So in the original question, instead of:
.topnavlinks ul {
float:right;
}
Change it into the following:
ul.topnavlinks {
display: flex;
justify-content: flex-end;
}
It will make the navigation float right without changing order
Try adding additional container
HTML
<div id="topnav"><div class="cont"><ul class="topnavlinks"><li class="menu-474 first">Home</li>
<li class="menu-540 active-trail active">Our company</li>
<li class="menu-541">Blog</li>
<li class="menu-930">FAQ</li>
<li class="menu-900 last">Contact</li>
</ul></div></div>
CSS
.cont { width:980px; margin:0px auto; }
#topnav { width:100%; height:14px; background:#b8b8b8; border-bottom:1px solid #989898; }
.topnavlinks ul { float:right; }
.topnavlinks li { float:left; }
.topnavlinks a { color:#fff; text-decoration:none; padding:0px 27px; }
Remember there is horizontal padding of 27px.
This puts the menu to the right:
#topnav { width:100%; height:14px; border-bottom:1px solid #989898; text-align:right; }
.topnavlinks { margin:0px auto; display:inline; float:right;}
.topnavlinks ul { float:right; text-align:left; }
.topnavlinks li { display:inline; text-align: left;}
.topnavlinks a { color:#fff; text-decoration:none; padding:0px 27px;}
