I have come across a slight problem, I set my nav bar to 100% width, and now i have a gap on the right hand side of my page and a horizontal scroll bar for the page, I do not know why it has done this. Please see code attached.
he code is:
nav {
width: 100%;
height: 35px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #42C2DA;
padding: 6px;
margin-bottom: 50px;
}
nav ul {
padding: 7px;
margin: 1px;
width: 100%;
}
nav li {
display: inline;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
}
nav li a {
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 4px;
}
nav li a:link a:visited {
font-weight: bold;
}
Could someone explain where i am going wrong... or what is happening here.
I dont have 10 rep so cant post a pic.
Your nav bar has padding:6px; this adds 6px to all sides of the div, meaning the actual width of that element isn't 100%, but rather 100% + 12px.
To fix this, try using box-sizing: border-box, which makes it so that your padding is calculated into your specified 100% width.
Horizontal scroll bar is probably because You've set:
width: 100%
padding: 6px
And for that reason You will have total width: 100% of viewport + 12px
Set box-sizing: border-box and this fix Your problem - more info about box-sizing.

On this site: https://new.fbhsfoundation.com/give-now/ I have figured out how to add a custom style for a single nav but I want to make the background surround the text (I.e. more padding left and right of the yellow color) but I can't figure it out.
This is the code I tried and then applied the custom CSS to the menu item but it only did the background color not the padding:
.yellow li.menu-item a { padding 5px; }
Find and remove the padding property for .menu li and add a padding style for the .yellow class.
.menu li{
min-width: 36px;
margin: 0 12px;
/*padding: 0*/
}
.yellow{
background-color: #ffe400;
padding: 0 20px;
}
or better still, use the id of the list element(li) to add the padding style.
li#menu-item-46{
padding: 0 10px;
}
Use 12 pixels of padding instead of the 12px margin.
.menu li {
min-width: 36px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px 12px;
}
I have a responsive website but the navigation bar is giving me problems.
First problem is the active area for clicking the links is not the full height of the nav bar, I need it to go all the way down.
Second problem is that when i switch to a mobile view the Menu is covering the email address and telephone number.
I have the navigation and the top part fixed, not sure if this has anything to do with it.
I have the page on a test address if anyone wants a look - http://www.classic-travel.co.uk/index.html
First Problem: not the best solution, just a workaround:
#cssmenu > ul > li {
float: left;
display: inline-block;
background: yellow;
color: black;
height: 104px; //ADD HEIGHT OF THE ul
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a {
padding: 40px 10px 10px 10px;
border-right: 1px solid rgba(80, 80, 80, 0.12);
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: 500;
color: black;
text-transform: none;
letter-spacing: 1px;
height: 100%; //LET li PICK THE HEIGHT OF ul
}
If you find a way not to use pixel in height, it would be better.
Second problem is caused by the position:fixed of the header, you remove it, it will not be covered.
<header style="width: 100%; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); z-index: 99; top: 0px; "><div class="gridContainer clearfix">
....
</header>
In addiction, do not use css inline, put it into a .css file and use <link> tag to include in your html file.
So I have a containing element whose width gets smaller as the screen get smaller #Aa, this element has a <nav> element that contains a <ul> element and some <li> elements as menu items.
When #Aa can no longer contain all the <li> elements the page layout is broken.
What I would like to happen is what is suppose to happen when
overflow:hidden is used. I applied this rule to #Aa.
I thought this was the purpose of overflow:hidden. I entered it manually through the web inspector.
Here is some of the relevant CSS
nav {
white-space: nowrap;
float: right;
}
nav ul li a {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 20px;
line-height: 60px;
color: #2e2c60;
font-size: 14px;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: .1em;
}
nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
border-left: 1px solid #ffffff;
position: relative;
list-style: none;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, .25);
}
nav ul li:hover{
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
}
nav ul li:last-child{
border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;
}
Please try below code,
nav {
float: right;
width: 75%;
height: 60px;
overflow: hidden;
}
and add float:left to logo image
Well, you'll have to put codes for "nav" according to the resolution in your media queries.
In short:
You need to define the height, or max-height (more suitable for this example) in order for overflow to work, otherwise it would just expand, since is the expected behavior
element {
display: none;
}
Try removing this from the inline style of the #left-column element:
<section style="display:none;" id="left-column">
I cannot figure this out. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH so please, no comments about me doing more research. Also, I am a noob, so be nice ;)

Hover your mouse over the two black rectangles in the main blue nav bar (header area). The a:hover should make the color change to a gray. The ISSUE is that in Chrome, this looks perfect. But, in Firefox, the padding-right isn't long enough or something, so there is always a small black rectangle at the far right side of the "Educational Courses" button (this will only be visible when hovering your cursor over the button). In other words, the gray box doesn't go all the way to the right-side end of the button area upon mouse hover. I just don't understand why this looks and works great in Chrome, but bugs out in Firefox...
Believe me when I say I have tried everything I can to fix it using Firebug in Firefox. If you play around with it using an editor in your browser, you will see that if you try to make the padding longer for Firefox, it pops the whole button down onto a new line. So to fix THAT problem, you must make the container wider, but then the original problem comes back. It's a circle of problems and I'm sure one of you geniuses out there will see a simple solution that I am missing.
Please help. Thanks!
EDIT :
Here's my JSFiddle and code. Notice how it looks great in Chrome but not in Firefox?

its because a tags (anchor tags) have a default display property of inline
due to CSS Box Model you would need to adjust your padding and set the anchor tags display property to display:block;
the display block allows the anchor tag to fill the whole space of the LI tag
change ul#top-menu li a to this:
ul#top-menu li a{
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 11pt;
font-weight: bold;
display: block; /* add this */
padding: 0 10px; /* add this */
}
the CSS Box Model adds the content + padding + border + margin
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box_model
Take a look at this CSS rule:
li#li-right {
border-left: 2px solid #5E5E5E;
list-style-position: inside;
}
Dropping list-style-position: inside seems to fix your issue in Firefox (and still works in Chrome), but I haven't tested the implications in other browsers. The CSS rule is documented here.
The reason why : browsers apply their own css if you don't specify it. Firefox added the space for your bullet (somehow)
FF :
list-style-image none
list-style-position outside
list-style-type disc
GooChrome :
list-style-image: none;
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-type: none;

Working on revamping a client's site, and one of their requests is to change the nav to accommodate text of any size. Here's the trick: I can't change html, just css and javascript. Oh, and the version of jquery on the site is 1.4.4 - this can't change either.
I've got a javascript-based solution in place, and it's working across all modern browsers - but I can't seem to get it to function in IE7. The solution relies on all nav elements rendering in their native width (i.e. wrapping instead of resizing), in order to calculate the necessary width changes. In IE7, the nav items don't clear - the last one shrinks to a tiny size to fit into the first row, and the javascript thus can't tell that resizing needs to be calculated.
The javascript should work fine, the main issue is that I need to know what my css isn't doing to force the last element to wrap instead of resize in IE7. I've tried an exhaustive number of combinations of display: inline-block;, white-space: nowrap;, and float: left; to no avail.
I isolated the nav in question and put it in a fiddle right here. If anyone has any ideas, or knows a better way I can implement, let me know - all suggestions welcome!
I have two versions of your jsFiddle here to compare with and verify that this is what you're going for. I cleaned up your CSS a bit but the main thing I did was set a percentage width on the li in your navigation. You have 6 elements so 100/6 = 16.6666%. I should also not I removed the jQuery in the jsFiddles below.
