I'm trying to center my dropdown menu without it affecting the functions of the menu. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
#menu_container { padding: 1px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #FFF; }
#menu_container ul { list-style-type: none; }
#menu_container ul li { float: left; font-size: 12px; position: relative; }
#menu_container ul li a { display: block; padding: 5px 15px; color: #808080; text-decoration: none; }
#menu_container ul li a:hover { background-color: #333; color: #808080; }
#menu_container ul li ul { display: none; position: absolute; top: 25px; left: 0; z-index: 150; border: 1px solid #ddd; }
#menu_container ul li ul li { width: 310px; float: none; }
#menu_container ul li ul li a { background-color: #fff; }
It depends on your layout and page structure. It might be as simple as assigning #menu_container a fixed-width and automatic margins:
#menu_container { width: 640px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 1px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #FFF; }
/* Depending on your layout, you may also need to assign a full-width and/or relative positioning to a parent/container/wrapper element */
You could set the #menu_container element to center by adding
margin:0px auto;
In order for that to work, you will also have to set a width for the container.

I'm curious why my 'homepage' link keeps shifting over. I've made a fiddle of the problem:
jsfiddle.net/nbf8fwdv/
Thanks for the help. I'm still getting the hang of semantics and proper usage in CSS, so if you see any glaring problems with my code that only a beginner would make, please let me know. Thanks for the help in advance.
In order to prevent the homepage from shifting on hover, you'll want to remove this property:
max-width: 75px;
from this class:
nav ul>li:hover {
background-color: rgba(253,235,193,.6);
max-width: 75px;
text-align:center;
}
Because the homepage list item is naturally greater than 75px, the max-width property is actually reducing it's width on hover.
You can write a class like bootstrap
body {
background-color: white;
font-family: PT Sans, sans-serif;
text-shadow: 1px 1px rgba(166,166,166,.2);
}
header {
background: white;
width: 100%
padding: 40px 0;
color: black;
text-align: center;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
font-size: 1.0em;
letter-spacing: 2px;
}
nav {
box-shadow: 1px 1px 10px rgba(166,166,166,.2);
}
nav ul {
background-color: rgba(253,235,193,.3);
overflow: visible;
color: white;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
}
nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px 40px;
position: relative;
}
nav ul ul {
display: none;
}
nav ul>li:hover {
background-color: rgba(253,235,193,.6);
text-align:center;
}
nav ul li:hover ul{
display: block;
margin-top: 20px;
}
nav ul li:hover li{
margin-left: -40px;
margin-top:-15px;
text-align: center;
float: left;
clear: left;
}
.portfolio_menu{position:absolute;top:100%;left:0;z-index:1000;display:none;float:left;min-width:160px;padding:5px 0;margin:2px 0 0;font-size:14px;text-align:left;list-style:none;background-color:#fff;-webkit-background-clip:padding-box;background-clip:padding-box;border:1px solid #ccc;border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.15);border-radius:4px;-webkit-box-shadow:0 6px 12px rgba(0,0,0,.175);box-shadow:0 6px 12px rgba(0,0,0,.175)}
To actually save your other links by shifting over when hover over the "portfolio", here is my 2 cents. http://jsfiddle.net/nbf8fwdv/5/
nav ul ul {
display: none;
position:absolute;
left:0;
}
Hi I am having trouble shifting a menu list on my wordpress site to the left. It appears as if there is a margin so when the list contains so many items it appears right offset and no longer centred. The site in question is www.cabinboys.ca the menu I'm talking about is right below the cabinboys image filled with two letter items. If any one could look at my css and see if they could figure out how to shift the list items to the left that would be much appreciated thanks.
/* =Menu

#menu {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
margin-bottom: 25px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: right;
width: 800px;
}
#menu img {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#menu a {
color: #666;
font-family: 'Oswald', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
margin: 0 10px;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
#menu a:hover {

}
#menu ul {

}
#menu li {
float: right;

}
#menu ul ul {

z-index: 99999;
}
#menu ul ul ul {
right: 100%;
top: 0;
}
#menu ul ul a {
background: #e9e9e9;
border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e1e1;
display: block;
font-size: 14px;
height: auto;
line-height: 1em;
margin: 0 ;
padding: .8em .5em .8em 1em;
width: 130px;
}
#menu ul ul li:last-of-type a {
border-bottom: none;
}
#menu li:hover > a,
#menu ul ul :hover > a {
color: #36bcab;
}
#menu ul ul a:hover {
background: #36bcab;
}
#menu ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
#menu ul li.current_page_item > a,
#menu ul li.current_page_ancestor > a,
#menu ul li.current-menu-item > a {
color: #111;
}
#menu ul:after {
clear: both;
content: ' ';
display: block;
}
You should add a couple of properties to make it work:
#menu-header-menu {
display:table;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
}
Nevertheless it's interesting that you say that the shift happened when the number if items in the menu increased, I don't see in the CSS any code that could differentiate the display depending on the number of items. Could you confirm that I understood the situation?
This is a CSS issue: i have a drop down menu created with the following code:
#menu_container ul {
list-style-type: none;
float: left;
padding: 5px 0;
display: inline;
}
#menu_container ul li {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
}
#menu_container ul li a {
display: inline-block;
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 5px 10px;
margin: 0 10px;
}
#menu_container ul li a:hover {
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
#menu_container ul li.current-menu-item a, #menu_container ul li.current_page_item a {
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
#menu_container ul li ul {
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
display: none;
opacity: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}
#menu_container ul li ul li a {
display: block;
}
#menu_container ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
z-index: 2;
background-color: #fff;
color: #000;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
#menu_container ul li ul li:hover {
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;;
}
#menu_container {
border-top: 1px dotted #DDDDDD;
border-bottom: 5px solid #DDDDDD;
padding: 0px 28px;
}
#menu_container .cat_menu { border-left: 1px dotted #DDDDDD; }

As you can see if you access it, when you hover over "Blog" the elements i want to display DO display, but not is i want. I want them to display one below the other. I mean:
Reseñas
Textos
And not like they appear:
Reseñas Textos
I will really thank any help; this is driving me mad. Thanks!
I think the answers above are almost there.
I got it to work with this in my Google Dev tools. It's best not to use !important, so try removing them after you verified this works:
sub-menu li a {
display: block;
width: auto;
margin: 0 !important;
}
.sub-menu li {
display: block !important;
float: none !important;
}
Add a new rule to .sub-menu:
.sub-menu {
display: block;
width: 90px;
}
All you need to do is remove that float and that display:inline-block from your elements.
For example:
.sub-menu > li {
float: none;
display: block;
}
Once this is applied your list items will break into new lines again.
And by the way:
Your defintion of
#menu_container ul li {
float: left;
display: inline-block;
}
is quite general. This is the source of your problem. It matches too many li elements.
Target the problematic elements and solve the issue by doing something like this:
#menu_container ul li ul {
width: 70px; /** desired_width **/
}
#menu_container ul li ul li {
width: 100%; /** 100% width makes them stack on each other and not side by side **/
display: block
}
That should do it.
I'm wondering is there an easy way to fix the width on this dropdown menu?
http://jsfiddle.net/s3bA3/3/
I'd like a box effect dropdown list in the same position as where is says "DROPDOWN"
Seems like it shouldn't bee too hard a fix but I'm pretty new to CSS.
Here's the CSS code:
nav {
width: 100%;
float: left;
margin: 0 0 3em 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
background-color: #242424;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
position:fixed;
top:0px;
}
nav li {
float: left;
}
nav li li {
clear: both;
}
nav li a {
display: block;
padding: 8px 15px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
color: #7ACC01;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
}
nav li a:hover {
color: #c00;
background-color: #fff;
}
nav ul ul {
display: none;
}
nav ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
Thanks for reading.
nav ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
position:absolute;
}

I'm on Chrome/Firefox. I've read several tutorials and questions here too on this topic.
I have a UL containing LI. I set the LIs to "display: inline;", but they won't. They're still vertical.
What am I doing wrong?
Thx.
Here's my css:
.menu{
width: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
outline: 1px solid grey;
background-color: #f6f6f6;
font-size:100%;
}
.menu ul{
float: left;
list-style: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #f6f6f6;
}
.menu li ul{
display: none;
height: auto;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0;
background-color: #f6f6f6;
outline: 1px solid gray;
position: absolute;
z-index: 200;
left: 20px;
top: 30%;
}
.menu li:hover ul{
display: block;
}
.menu li:hover{
background-color: #005ea2;
}
.menu li{
display: inline;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
border-bottom: 1px dotted grey;
}
.menu ul li:last-child{
border: none;
}
.menu a{
display: block;
color: #333333;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0px;
margin-left: 5px;
}
.menu a:hover{
color: white;
background-color: #005ea2;
}
.menu .menu_header{
color: #333333;
}
.menu .menu_header a:hover{
color: white;
}
The <li> elements need to have float:left
first of all you might consider adding the relevant HTML to your answer, to help answerers understand your situation better.
I can spot several strange things that might be related to your problem.
First, the li ul selector are not very useful: it's more likely that you meant the opposite, ul li.
Second, I see that on hover you have something changing to display: block. This is a very
strange behavior to have on hover, are you sure?
Third, I see that you have a { display: block }. This does not play nicely if its container is display: inline so you might want to switch to display: inline-block for the container (which is what I would suggest for an horizontal menu anyway)
