On this page, I have a footer menu #menu-footer-menu; "About - Select Your City - How Walks Work..." generated by Wordpress.
<div class="menu-footer-menu-container">
<ul id="menu-footer-menu" class="menu">
<li id="menu-item-143">About</li>
<li id="menu-item-151">Select Your City</li>
<li id="menu-item-162">How Walks Work</li>
<li id="menu-item-160">FAQs</li>
<li id="menu-item-166">Blog</li>
<li id="menu-item-153">Partners</li>
<li id="menu-item-154">Press</li>
<li id="menu-item-144">Privacy Policy</li>
<li id="menu-item-145">Site Map</li>
<li id="menu-item-146">Terms & Conditions</li>
</ul>
</div>
I want to center this menu.
I tried the following CSS but it didn't work:
div.menu-footer-menu-container {text-align:center;}
ul#menu-footer-menu.menu {
list-style-type: none;
width: 760px !important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
display: inline-block !important;
}
ul#menu-footer-menu li {
display: inline-block !important;
margin-right: 14px;
margin-right: 1rem;
}
Use following css instead of what you have.
I just changed display for ul#menu-footer-menu.menu to block nothing else.
div.menu-footer-menu-container {text-align:center;}
ul#menu-footer-menu.menu {
list-style-type: none;
width: 760px !important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
display: block !important;
}
ul#menu-footer-menu li {
display: inline-block !important;
margin-right: 14px;
margin-right: 1rem;
}
You need to add one wrapper element with a width of 100% to center your div in.
Like:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="menu-footer-menu-container">
...
</div>
.wrapper{ width:100% }
Use display:block instead of inline-block
ul#menu-footer-menu.menu {
list-style-type: none;
width: 760px !important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
display: block !important;
}
Try to add CSS Style :
.menu-footer-menu-container
{
text-align: center;
}
You have two ways to do it
width degradation center tag
<center>
<ul>
...
</ul>
</center>
Create another div to force the center
.center { margin: auto; text-align: center; }
<div class="center">
<ul>
...
</ul>
</div>
Note: The tag must be inline-block.
width text-align:center;
ul{ text-align: center; }
<center>
<ul>
...
</ul>
</center>
Add one more style text-align:center to #footer-menu in css.

How do I center a horizontal ul with li tags inside a nav:
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
</li>
<li>
</li>
<li>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Center it how? Horizontal , vertical? Do you want to change <li> direction?
Here's a codepen that might be what you want.
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/wKdgyd
Found a solution
html:
<div class="main">
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
</li>
<li>
</li>
<li>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
And the css:
.main nav {
width: auto;
height: 80px;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
display: block;
}
.main nav ul {
height: auto;
margin: 21px auto 0 auto;
}
.main nav ul li {
float: left;
margin: 19px 0 12px;
width: 33.3%;
text-align: center;
}
I have a navigation bar as shown here: http://i.imgur.com/4rxkS2K.jpg
I am using foundation to build a website, the way I have built the nav bar is as follows:
HTML:
<nav class="top-bar">
<ul>
<li>About</li>
<li id="menu-divider">|</li>
<li>Testimonials</li>
<li><img src="images/logo.png" alt=""></li>
<li>Services</li>
<li id="menu-divider">|</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
CSS:
.top-bar { font-family: 'bebas_neueregular';
height: 150px;
line-height: 100px;
padding: 18px;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align:center;
margin-bottom:10px; }
.top-bar ul { display:inline-block;
margin-left: auto ;
margin-right: auto ;}
.top-bar ul > li { display:inline-block;
margin-left: auto ;
margin-right: auto ;}
#menu-divider { color:#ffffff;
font-size: 24px;}
As you can see in the picture, the way I have built it means that my center li element (my logo picture) is not in exact center as the other li elements are of different widths meaning they are all centered collectively. What I'm after is the logo in the dead center then the other li elements as they are centered around the logo.
Thanks in advance for any help!
You can play around but I'm pretty sure this does the trick:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/dYXQpz
Use 3 containers (that means you lose your nav as a ul). Flex them and inside of the left and right one, flex the elements (end for the first, start for the other)
<div class="nav-bar">
<div class="sideNav leftNav">
<div class="menu">
MENU 1
</div>
<div class="split"></div>
<div class="menu">
MENU 2
</div>
</div>
<div class="logo">
<img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSN9qhGx6NftAepiMOjdGXkcW-UxkO9dtQ4VGRlepyzNC2S8xQCcA" />
</div>
<div class="sideNav rightNav">
<div class="menu">
MENU 3
</div>
<div class="split"></div>
<div class="menu">
MENU 4
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then apply the css. It can be improved but it can help you get started.
.nav-bar {
background: pink;
display: flex;
}
.sideNav {
flex: 1 0 auto;
background: red;
display: flex;
}
.leftNav {
justify-content: flex-end;
}
.rightNav {
justify-content: flex-start;
}
.sideNav > div {
margin: 100px 20px 0 20px;
}
.split{width: 2px;background: white;height: 16px}
Hope that helps. I loves flexbox.
The picture below shows what I would like to get.
It is a menu within a container, where the menu may wrap to multiple lines when the window/screen gets too narrow for all menu items to fit in. At the same time I would like the menu to have a background which expands to full screen in width, while expanding in height with the menu when it gets wrapped to multiple lines. Currently I think this is not possible with CSS, but I am also just a CSS amateur. My current solution involves #media queries to set the height of the menu background for resolutions where wrapping appears. This does not take into account that font-size could change, thus making each line of menu higher.
Here is a jsFiddle with a basic setup, which does NOT what I want:
https://jsfiddle.net/n3jmyq2f/3/ (Edited, was not the final version)
Here is the code:
<div class="container">
<div class="menu_wrap">
<div class="menu_bg"></div>
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item2</li>
<li>item3</li>
<li>item4</li>
<li>item5</li>
<li>item6</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">It's me, Mario!</div>
CSS:
.container {
width:50%;
margin: 0 auto;
background:lightgreen;
height:300px;
}
.menu_bg{
position: absolute;
background: #afafaf;
width: 100%;
left:0;
height:30px;
z-index: -1;
}
ul {
height:30px;
background: #afafaf;
}
li {
display:inline-block;
}
The first option is the simplest.
Stop thinking of the .container as something that must contain everything. It's just a class that can be reused as and when required.
If you take the menu div out of the "container" but put a .container div inside you get the effect you are looking for.
JSfiddle Demo
*,
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.container {

}
ul {
border: 1px solid green;
}

if in .container you change

you could also use the .menu-wrap class (which I've seen in your markup) to do this
so I've encountered a bug that I can't figure out in IE8. I've seen some doozies, but this one might take the cake.
I tried replicating it in Codepen, but we have a lot of code for this so I'll try including the computed styles from IE8.
Using Foundation 5, I have a Top Bar that starts out looking like this:
The dropdown is positioned absolutely, so it obviously shouldn't be stretching out the parent container. It doesn't actually stretch out the parent, but the grandparent. Here's the markup:
<nav id="global-nav" class="top-bar has-dropdown show-for-large-up" data-topbar >
<section class="top-bar-section">
<ul class="title-area">
<li class="name">
Title
</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section class="links top-bar-section">
<ul class="left">
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Create
</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li class="has-dropdown">
<a>Explore</a>
<ul class="dropdown tab-left" id="explore-menu">
<li>Link 1
</li>
<li>Link 2
</li>
<li>Link 3
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Find
</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section class="top-bar-section">
<ul class="right">
<li class="has-form search">
<form id="header_search" name="search_form">
<input type="search" placeholder="Search" class="search" results=3 id="search_term" name="search_value" maxlength="200" />
<button id="search_submit"></button>
</form>
</li>
<li class="login">
Login
</li>
</ul>
</section>
The computed CSS from IE8:
#global-nav{ //this is the topbar that is stretching
background: #2a2d43;
background-image: none;
color: #666;
display: block !important;
font: inherit;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
height: 80px;
line-height: 60px;
margin: 0px;
overflow: visible;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
vertical-align: baseline;
width: 100%;
}
li.has-dropdown .dropdown{
background: #fff;
box-sizing: border-box;
clip: rect(1px 1px 1px 1px);
z-index: 99;
color: #666;
display: block;
font: inherit;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
height: auto !important;
left: 10%;
line-height: 60px;
margin: 0;
max-height: none;
max-width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0px;
position: absolute !important;
right: auto;
top: 64px;
vertical-align: baseline;
visibility: hidden;
width: auto;
}
li.has-dropdown.hover .dropdown{ //the open dropdown state
clip: rect(auto auto auto auto);
visibility: visible;
}
If you need more information let me know. Thanks in advance.
For reference, I'm testing on a Parallels VM of Win7 with IE8, using IE8 document mode and IE8 Standards.
Do you have a link to view this? I am wondering if maybe you should set the ul to position relative. I think the li is falling back to the first relatively positioned item. Hopes this helps.
If any of the parent elements of the absolute element has position: relative then the absolute is computed relative to that,
try removing the position: relative from the parent containers maybe it could help
also make sure you have correct
<!DOCTYPE html>
at the beginning of your file
It is not an IE8 rendering error, but a coding error/incompatibility somewhere. This demo code shows that IE8 does take absolutely positioned drop-down elements out of the flow:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>Demo IE8 Drop-Down Menu</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
#navDivParent { /* = grandparent of the dropdown menu */
background-color: darkblue;
text-align: right;
color: white;
height: 100px;
width: 550px;
}
#navDiv ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
}
#navDiv ul li {
float: left;
position: relative;
margin-right: 10px;
}
#navDiv ul li ul li {
clear: left;
}
#navDiv ul ul {
display: none;
}
#navDiv ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
position: absolute;
}
#navDiv a {
display: block;
padding: 0 10px 0 10px;
background: yellow;
color: blue;
text-decoration: none;
}
#navDiv #item2SubList a {
width: 175px;
}
#navDiv a:hover {
background: red;
color: white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="navDivParent">This is the grandparent<br> of the dropdown menu.
<div id="navDiv">
<ul>
<li>Menu item</li>
<li>Menu item w/ child
<ul id="item2SubList">
<li>Menu sub-item</li>
<li>Menu sub-item</li>
<li>Menu sub-item</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Menu item</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
.
I haven't made a live demo because JSFiddle, JSBin and the likes don't function in IE8, but I tested it in both a real IE8 and IE9 in IE8 mode.
As the in the question provided code does not contain a CSS :hover state declaration, the coding error/incompatibility might lie in the Javascript that would drive the hover state.
Your dropdown has a max-width of 200px. IE8 doesn't deal well with max-width. Essentially it's treated as a width declaration. Your forcing a width of 200px in IE8. You would need to set it to none...
max-width:none\9; /* IE8 */
I do not think this "bug" has anything to do with the position: absolute; not taking the .dropdown out of the flow. li.has-dropdown also has a .hover state applied to it. There is likely some other styling applied to li.has-dropdown that is causing #global-nav to shift. Perhaps some extra padding is being applied to li.has-dropdown. Unfortunately we don't have all the code to properly debug this.
How can I center an unordered list of <li> into a fixed-width div?
<table width="100%">
<tbody>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
To center the ul and also have the li elements centered in it as well, and make the width of the ul change dynamically, use display: inline-block; and wrap it in a centered div.
<style type="text/css">
.wrapper {
text-align: center;
}
.wrapper ul {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
/* For IE, the outcast */
zoom:1;
*display: inline;
}
.wrapper li {
float: left;
padding: 2px 5px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
</style>
<div class="wrapper">
<ul>
<li>Three</li>
<li>Blind</li>
<li>Mice</li>
</ul>
</div>
Update
Here is a jsFiddle link to the code above.
Since ul and li elements are display: block by default — give them auto margins and a width that is smaller than their container.
ul {
width: 70%;
margin: auto;
}
If you've changed their display property, or done something that overrides normal alignment rules (such as floating them) then this won't work.
I love flexbox:
ul {
justify-content: center;
display: flex;
}
Steps :
Write style="text-align:center;" to parent div of ul
Write style="display:inline-table;" to ul
Write style="display:inline;" to li
or use
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li>item 1 </li>
<li>item 2 </li>
<li>item 3 </li>
</ul>
</div>
<style>
.menu { text-align: center; }
.menu ul { display:inline-table; }
.menu li { display:inline; }
</style>
This is a better way to center UL's inside of any DIV container.
This CSS solution does not use Width and Float properties. Float:Left and Width: 70%, will cause you headaches when you need to duplicate your menu on different pages with different menu items.
Instead of using width, we use padding and margin to determine the space around the text/menu item. Also, instead of using Float:Left in the LI element, use display:inline-block.
By floating your LI left, you literally float your content to the left and then you must use one of the Hacks mentioned above to center your UL. Display:inline-block creates your Float property for you (sort of). It takes your LI element and turns it into a block element that lays side by side each other (not floating).
With Responsive design and using frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation, there will be issues when trying to float and center content. They have some built-in classes, but it's always better to do it from scratch. This solution is much better for dynamic menus (Such as Adobe Business Catalyst menu system).

.container ul {
border: 2px solid red;

.container li {
display: inline-block;
}
.container li a {
display: inline-block;
background: #444;
color: #FFF;

text-decoration: none;
}
Could either be
div ul
{
width: [INSERT FIXED WIDTH]
margin: 0 auto;
}
or
div li
{
text-align: center;
}
depends on how it should look like (or combining those)
To center a block object (e.g. the ul) you need to set a width on it and then you can set that objects left and right margins to auto.
To center the inline content of block object (e.g. the inline content of li) you can set the css property text-align: center;.
Try
div#divID ul {margin:0 auto;}
Just add text-align: center; to your <ul>. Problem solved.
Interesting but try this with floated li elements inside the ul:
Example here
The problem now: the ul needs a fixed width to actually sit in the center. However we want to be it relative to the container width (or dynamic), margin: 0 auto on the ul does not work.
A better way is to let go of UL/Li list and use a different approach example here
If you know the width of the ul then you can simply set the margin of the ul to 0 auto;
This will align the ul in the middle of the containing div
Example:
HTML:
<div id="container">
<ul>
<li>Item1</li>
<li>Item2</li>
</ul>
<div>
CSS:
#container ul{
width:300px;
margin:0 auto;
}
Here is the solution I could find:
#wrapper {
float:right;
position:relative;
left:-50%;
text-align:left;
}
#wrapper ul {
list-style:none;
position:relative;
left:50%;
}
#wrapper li{
float:left;
position:relative;
}
Another option is:
HTML
<nav>
<ul class = "main-nav">
<li> Productos </li>
<li> Catalogo </li>
<li> Contact </li>
<li> Us </li>
</ul>
</nav>
CSS:
nav {
text-align: center;
}
nav .main-nav li {
float: left;
width: 20%;
margin-right: 5%;
font-size: 36px;
text-align: center;
}
I have been looking for the same case and tried all answers by change the width of <li>.
Unfortunately all were failed to get the same distance on left and right of the <ul> box.
The closest match is this answer but it needs to adjust the change of width with padding
.container ul {
...
padding: 10px 25px;
}
.container li {
...
width: 100px;
}
See the result below, all distance between <li> also to the <ul> box are the same.
You may check it on this jsFiddle:
