Can someone help me to center the "ul" in the "div" vertically and horizontally according the code below?
Thank you very much!
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a class="top" href="#top"><span></span></a></li>
<li><a class="bottom" href="#bottom"><span></span></a></li>
<li><a>Link 1</a></li>
<li><a>Link 2</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
css
#nav {
height:35px;
border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;
position:fixed;
top:0px;
left:0px;
right:0px;
background:#fff url(../images/navigation/nav.png) repeat-x center left;
z-index:999999;
}
#nav ul {
list-style:none;
margin:auto;
float:left;
padding:0;
display: block;
}
#nav ul li {
display:inline;
float:left;
margin:0px 2px;
}
#nav a {
font-size:13px;
font-weight:bold;
float:left;
padding: 2px 4px;
color:#999;
text-decoration: none;
border:1px solid #ccc;
cursor: pointer;
background:transparent url(../images/navigation/overlay.png) repeat-x center left;
height:16px;
line-height:16px;
}
#nav a:hover {
background:#D9D9DA none;
color: #fff;
}
#nav a.top span, #nav a.bottom span {
float:left;
width:16px;
height:16px;
}
#nav a.top span {
background:transparent url(../images/navigation/top.png) no-repeat center center;
}
#nav a.bottom span {
background:transparent url(../images/navigation/bottom.png) no-repeat center center;
}
Use display: inline-block combined with text-align: center. This is good because it will continue to work if you add or remove links.
See: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/VCZgW/
The important changes I made:
#nav {
/*height:35px;*/
padding: 6px 0;
}
#nav ul {
/*float:left;*/
text-align: center;
}
#nav ul li {
/*float:left;*/
vertical-align: top;
display: inline-block;
}
This won't directly solve your problem, but these are my go to links for css centering issues
Horizontal
http://dorward.me.uk/www/centre/
Vertical
http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/index.html
The right thing to do is this:
you put style on a ul {display:table; margin:0 auto;}
that is all ;)

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>

I am trying to center my nav bar. I checked my sites but nothing works
and I'm completely stumped as to why it won't center, here is my navigation bar HTML that I want to center:
<div class='nav'>
<ul class='menu' id='menu'>
<li><a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>home</a></li>
<li><a class='drop-ctg' href='#'>PORTFOLIO</a>

<li><a href='http://effectsforshare.blogspot.com/p/trailer.html'>TRAILER</a></li>

<li><a href='http://effectsforshare.blogspot.com/p/contact-me.html'>CONTACT ME</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
and here is the CSS
*{
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;

I would give you a link to the page but it's being done in Dreamweaver and is not up yet. The logobar.jpg is the logo for the webpage. I love how it looks, but it needs to be centered and not be cut off or taken to the next line when I shrink my screensize.
I tried each of float: right, float: left, and float: none on almost all of the classes; text-align: center on each class on the html side; I have tried align=center on each class; display: inline, inline-block on ul and li classes.
Thank you for your help!
On your .menu class, you do have text-align:center set. We can certainly use that to center the child nodes.
So within your .menu li css property, add display:inline-block and remove the floats. This will center your list items.
See the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/RGREA/
<style>
div.nav{margin: 3px auto;}
</style>
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 */
}
need some help. I'm just learning HTML and have been looking at how to do menus today, whilst doing so I have ran into a problem.
I can't seem to figure out how to center the menu on screen.
This is what I have so far;
<div id="navMenu">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>WWW.
<ul>
<li>Through the years</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Browsers
<ul>
<li>IE</li>
<li>Firefox</li>
<li>Chrome</li>
</ul></li>
<li>CSS
<ul>
<li>CSS 2.1</li>
<li>CSS 3</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Scripting
<ul>
<li>JavaScripts</li>
<li>jQuery</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
</div>
Current CSS;
#navMenu{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#navMenu ul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
line-height:30px;
}
#navMenu li{
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
float: left;
position: relative;
background-color: #999;
border-radius: 5px;
}
#navMenu ul li a{
text-align: center;
text-decoration:none;
height:30px;
width:150px;
display:block;
color: #FFF;
border: 1px solid #FFF;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;
}
#navMenu ul ul{
position:absolute;
visibility:hidden;
top:32px;
}
#navMenu ul li:hover ul{
visibility:visible;
}
#navMenu li:hover{
background-color: #09F;
}
#navMenu ul li:hover ul li a:hover{
background-color: #CCC;
color: #000;
}
#navMenu a:hover{
color:#000;
}
The above produces this .... http://gyazo.com/55cf62d121ef16eb1248e5246d0accae
Anyway to get the menu bar in the center of the screen.
SIDE NOTE:: Any spoilers tags on this site?
Try using display: inline-block and text-align: center.
Set display: inline-block for the <ul> and text-align: center for the container #navMenu. Set text-align: left for #navMenu li to fix the submenus.
Also
Example
#navMenu{
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align: center;
}
#navMenu ul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
line-height:30px;
display: inline-block;
}
#navMenu li{
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align: left;
float: left;
list-style:none;
position: relative;
background-color: #999;
border-radius: 5px;
}
Add a width to your menu wrapper and give the left and right an automatic margin.
You can adjust the width depending on where in the center you want to have your nav positioned.
#navMenu {
width: 960px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
text-align: center;
}
The margin and paddings your have in the ul and li are not needed.
#navMenu ul{
list-style: none;
line-height:30px;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
#navMenu li{
display: inline;
}
Padding should go here to keep all your links even.
#navMenu li a {
display: block;
padding: 10px;
}
Here is the page I am working on: http://www.sackling.com/new_arrivals.php
It seems to look good in all browsers except ie7.
I can't seem to figure out a way to make it work properly in all browsers it must be something with the way I am trying to stack my divs..
This is the important css:

Try removing all whitespaces within the ul's in the menu - IE7 renders 2 spaces just above the first menu.
EDIT: i think it's the redundant ul/li - try changing ul class"navtest" to div class="navtest", and remove the li in the left & right menu...
I believe your issue is with the ul#nav-test element. For some reason you have a ul nested within an li within a ul. Was this a mistake or have you done this for a reason?
See line 92 :
<ul class="navtest" >
<li>
<ul>
<li>Fall Catalog</li>
<li>Contact us</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Remove the additional ul and this will probably resolve your issue as IE7 is assigning a 16px offset from the top of the second ul.
So your HTML becomes:
<ul class="navtest" >
<li>Fall Catalog</li>
<li>Contact us</li>
</ul>
