nav ul {
text-align: center;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
background: #b2bac9;

The reason why it happens is because, when using elements with inline-block they are treated the same way as words in a text. Then the line-breaks and tabs you have between the elements will count as spaces.
To fix it, simply set nav ul to display: table:
nav ul {
display: table;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
background: #b2bac9;
color: #090a0d;
}
nav ul li {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
display: inline;
}
nav ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
padding: 16px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
background: red;
}
nav ul li a:hover {
background: #949fb4;
}
#tit {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
}

You can also remove all the spaces, line-breaks and tabs, between your elements (which I wouldn't recomment), or use Flexbox with justify-content: center like this:
nav ul {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
background: #b2bac9;
color: #090a0d;
}

There's a weird little trick for dealing with this issue, simply remove the spaces in your <li> elements:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title> nav </title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li><!--
--><li>The Project</li><!--
--><li>Forum</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<h1 id="tit" align="center"> I need to remove the balnk space between red buttons </h1>
</header>
</body>

What should I do to align the first 3 buttons in the center of the bar?
#navbar{
list-style-type: none;
position: relative;
top: -4px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #212121;
}
In your navigation bar you can put these three in one separate div and then align it to center
Hello friends to center a that your
menu options (nav) you only need
to use the text-aling rule: center;
,why ? Because the menu list are
formed by '' li '' or '' ul '' and we
only apply this rule to list and

The above code should work for you. I have shown buttons using anchor tag and also button tag

I am not sure why this happens, so some help would be great to have.
Your ul has a 16px bottom margin
#nav ul {
margin-bottom: 16px;
}
NOTE the next time you face a similar problem try using Chrome Dev Tools (prssing f12) or FireBug to analyze the elements with an unexpected behaviour
Your <ul> tag is adding padding by default. Override it by adding:
ul{
margin-bottom: -1px;
}
Hi I'm trying to style the tab sample i found on net.
here is the sample :
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Tabs 2</title>
<style>
body {
font: 0.8em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
#header ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#header li {
float: left;
border: 1px solid;
border-bottom-width: 0;
margin: 0 0.5em 0 0;
}
#header a {
display: block;
padding: 0 1em;
}
#header #selected {
position: relative;
top: 1px;
background: white;
}
#content {
border: 1px solid;
clear: both;
}
h1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 1em 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<ul>
<li>This</li>
<li id="selected">That</li>
<li>The Other</li>
<li>Banana</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="content">
<p>Ispum schmipsum.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
the problem is i want to add the background color for header and set it's width to 100%.
see the difference when i add this css code:
#header{
width:100%;
background-color:#b6ff00;
overflow:hidden;
}
before ( selected tab is merged with content )
after ( selected tab has a border-bottom )
how to fix this?
It's because you are adding overflow:hidden to header and
you haven't cleared floats
below are solutions
Clear:both
Here is definition of clear
A common problem with float-based layouts is that the floats' container doesn't want to stretch up to accomodate the floats. If you want to add, say, a border around all floats you'll have to command the browsers somehow to stretch up the container all the way.
Here is your solution and A Quick Fix
"Clearing", 21st Century Style
ul:after {
clear: both !important;
content: ".";
display: block;
float: none;
font-size: 0;
}

Hope it helps you :)
would you be able to help me to position my navigation - "wrapperNav" completely left in the browser so there would be no gap between the blue navigation and the browser edge?
thanks a lot.

Fixed, you just needed to add in padding-left: 0px; to nav ul
<!doctype html>
<html>

<link href="adminstyle2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

background: #263248;
min-width: 100px;
}
nav li:hover {
background: #000;
}
#wrapperNav {
margin-top: 70px;
margin-left: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-right: 0;

As need to be updated, I did on your example, try it once.
As a best practice you have to use css re-set for better styling. Because HTML tags has its own padding and margins, so using a re-set css, you can re--set them and control by yourself. Use following link for more. http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
You are missing a reset. For example, put in your css:
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
I have changed your code check it.

I know this is a typical question but I cannot find the solution. My CSS drop down menu works fine everywhere but IE9. The drop down simply doesn't work in IE9. Any advice? Thank you.
Here is the menu HTML:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li><span>Needs Assessment</span>
<ul>
<li>History1</li>
<li>Team1</li>
<li>Offices1</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>Design and Development</span>
<ul>
<li>History2</li>
<li>Team2</li>
<li>Offices2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>Prepare and Implement</span>
<ul>
<li>History3</li>
<li>Team3</li>
<li>Offices3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>Debrief and Measure</span>
<ul>
<li>History4</li>
<li>Team4</li>
<li>Offices4</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>Resources</span>
<ul>
<li>History4</li>
<li>Team4</li>
<li>Offices4</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Here is my CSS for this menu:
#menu {
width: 942px;
height: 47px;
border: solid 0px #000;
}
#menu ul {
margin-left: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
}
#menu ul li {
position: relative;
display: inline;
float: left;
list-style: none;
}
#menu li ul {
position: absolute;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
display: none;
}
#menu li:hover ul {
display: block;
z-index: 999;
}
#menu li li a {
color: #fff;
}
#menu li li a:hover {
color: #ccc;
}
#menu ul li a {
display: block;
width: 188px;
padding: 12px 0px 10px 0px;
background:url 'http://www.laerdal.com/Laerdal/usa/discoversimulation/images/button.png');

font-family: 'Cabin', sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
}
#menu a span {
float: left;
display: block;

float: none;
border: solid 0px black;

#menu a:hover span {

As Sparky672 said, your HTML is hopelessly invalid. You should fix it.
However, to fix the specific problem you're having, all you need to do is add a valid doctype as the very first line:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Without this, IE is in quirks mode.
Without seeing a demo, I have no idea if this will solve it, but you have a syntax error in your CSS. Missing the opening (.
This way always works for me...
background-image: url(http://www.laerdal.com/Laerdal/usa/discoversimulation/images/button.png);
Edited as per comments and demo URL:
You have some serious HTML validation errors. (Edit #2: Originally, the very first listed error was a missing doctype which will throw IE in quirks mode.)
You have this in the top of your page...
<html>
<head>
<title>Debrief and Measure</title>
</head>
<body>
<html>
<head>
<title>Discover Simulation</title>
</head>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cabin' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href="/Laerdal/_LOCAL_CONTENT/usa/css/discoversimulation.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<body>
Notice all the duplicate <html>, <body> and <head></head> tags.
Then at the bottom of your page...
</body>
</html>
<div align="center">
<div id="whitebox">
...snipped...
</div>
</body>
</html>
Notice the extraneous </body></html> tags.
As an aside: align="center" has been deprecated.
