As in the title - I want to stretch the last li tag in horizontal menu till end of menu. Here is my code:
#menu{width:600px; height:50px; background-color:#666; }
ul{padding:0; margin:0;}
ul li{list-style:none; height:20px;}
li{
float:left;
background-color:#999;
display:block;
padding:10px;
border-right-style:solid;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-right-color: #000;}
<div id="menu">
<ul id="nav">
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li class="last"></li>
</ul></div>
Just simply add
.last {
float: none;
}
and the complete thing will be as wide as it can because it's display is set to block.
Alternately you could just set the background-color of the ul.
UPDATE
The solution doesn't work perfectly, as it does span the li over the complete ul.
The fix is actually pretty simple:
.last {
float: none;
overflow: hidden;/* Add this */
}
See updated jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/BsrLD/8/
You can take off the float on the last li and it gives the result i think you want.
.last{float:none}
You can see in this FIDDLE

Hi i am trying to write a footer which should have balanced width items because of their width.
In my example , if the sentence is long, it s seems that there is a more large padding. "Blog" has a little padding, "First column very long" has a large one.
Thx for the help.
<div class=footer>
<UL>
<LI>First column very long</LI>
<LI>Contact us</LI>
<LI>Blog</LI>
<LI>Privacy policy very large title</LI>
<LI>why?</LI>
<LI>The last sentence</LI>
</UL>
</div>
.footer{
width:100%;
border: 1px solid yellow;
}
.footer ul
{
list-style-type:none;
display:table;
width:100%;
box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
padding:0;
}
.footer ul li
{
display:table-cell;
text-align:center;
border:1px solid red;
}

This is a very normal phenomenon. If you wish to balance the widths of the elements, use width in percentage to help you, for example width:16.66%;
However, since that will instead cause another problem of words overflowing, you should also use overflow:hidden and word-wrap:break-word
I am currently using this css sheet to stylize my page but no matter what I do I cannot get the footer to line up with the main content of my webpage. It seems to be an centering issue.
Here is my css:
.footnav
{
padding: 20px 40px 20px 40px;
clear:both;
text-align:center;
color:white;
position:relative;
z-index:100;
}
.footnav li a{
text-decoration:none;
display: inline;
font-weight:bold;
}
.footnav li {
list-style-type: none;
}
Here is the code that previous css it is stylizing, I apologize if it is a lot to read.
<div class="footnav" >
<ul class="nav1">
<li class="header">Main</li>
<li><Home</li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav2">
<li class="header">Aventure</li>
<li>News</li>
<li>Map</li>
</ul >
<ul class="nav3">
<li class="header">Survival</li>
<li>Guide</li>
<li>Gear</li>
</ul>
</div>
This is the css for the content area, that I am trying to line my footer with.
.content
{
color:white;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:none;
font-family:sans-serif;
padding:30px;
margin:auto;
margin-top:10px;
width:70%;
position:relative;
z-index:14;
opacity:1;
border-style:solid;
border-width:10px;
border-style:solid;
border-width:5px;
background-color:#000000;
border-color:#FFFFFF;
border-right-color:#999999;
border-left-color:#666666;
border-bottom-color:#333333;
}
I know that it involves trying to take half the width of the body of the webpage, but for my page I used percentages instead of pixels. I am not sure how to handle that. Thanks in advance and once again, I apologize for the lengthy question but the only way to properly assist me, would be to have the full picture. If there is any more material needed just ask.
Wrap the footer content in <center> tags </center>. They automatically align any child content with the center of the page.
try to add display: inline-block; to .footnav ul. The ul blocks would otherwise have 100% width - this way they can be next to each other, and be centerded together. inline-block limits the width, therefore you also should add a width setting to this rule. So it is:
.footnav ul {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
}
(The actual width depends on the content of your li elements in those nav lists)
Hi guys i'm trying to learn css ul and li menu bar. i'm trying to create this design http://s13.postimg.org/5bz1a4kw7/divider.jpg having the spaces and the divider per each menu bar, i can't seem to get the spacing, i tried adjusting it, but i can't get a grip on how to have this spacing per menu bar (li). Can you please get me to the right direction? Thanks
here's what i've done so far
http://jsfiddle.net/blackknights/Wbfjg/
<ul id="mcolor">
<li><font color="#000000"> Home </li>
<li>News</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
I have updated your code.
li a{
display:block;
padding:5px 10px;
background:#ccc;
border-right:1px solid #fff;
}
li a.last{
border-right:none;
}
Check the jsfiddle
Try this Fiddle. Basically, make use of padding-left and padding-right and min-width for li elements.
I've a header div and a menu ul below it. I'd like to accomplish 2 things:
1) the ul should have the same width as the div (outer vertical borders exactly same x position
2) I'd like to keep the spacing between li elements roughly equal
With some trial and error on the li's margins and padding I roughly achieved the first point in Google Chrome (please see this jsfiddle) but in Firefox the li's don't fit in the ul so they don't stay on a single line. Also, the last li tends to 'spill over' to a second line when zooming in/out.
I tried it with margin:5px auto and padding:5px auto on the li elements but here auto seems to mean zero.
Is this really difficult/impossible or am I overlooking something obvious?
I also tried width:fit-contents but that didn't help either.
I edited a whole lot in your CSS, check the updated fiddle.
Basicly, this is what I've done:
HTML:
<ul>
<li>link</li>
<li>link</li>
<li>link</li>
</ul>
CSS:
ul {
width: 960px;
display: table;
table-layout: fixed;
}
ul li {
display: table-cell;
}
ul li a {
display: block;
}
The ul is displayed as a table, with the li's as table-cells, making it as width as the header. Within the li i display the anchors as a block, making them fill the whole li. Hope it suits you.
P.s. make sure you remove the class cf from the ul when you use this.
I think some fellow frustrates may find this useful:
.main-menu ul li ul li{
white-space: nowrap;
}
Like this
ul#mmenu li
{
padding:7px;
}
DEMO
You'll need to adjust the padding in ul#mmenu I changed the padding to padding:7px 23px; and it stays in a single line,but there will be a blank space at the right end of the last menu.
You can give absolute position to li items and position them (first have left:0, second: left:100px or so... last have right:0 and so on). That way they will always be at the same place when you zoom.
For those wanting to avoid CSS table and table-cell, which by the way, I have no probelm with you can use text-align:justify on the UL with a couple of tweaks.
Basic HTML:
<ul id='mmenu'>
<li><a href='#'>Blah Blah Blah Blah</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Blah Blah</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Blah Blah Blah Blah</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Blah Blah</a></li>
</ul>
Note we've lost the clearfix because: a) We're not going to use floats and b)it breaks this solution.
CSS:
ul#mmenu{
width:100%;
margin:15px 0 10px 0;
overflow:hidden;
text-align:justify; /*Added this*/
}
ul#mmenu li{
letter-spacing:.05em;
color:#0a93cd;
/*Now inline blocks instead of blocks floated left*/
display:inline-block;
font:24px arial;
padding:7px 26px;
background:#fff;
border-left:2px solid #0a93cd;
border:2px solid #0a93cd;
border-radius:13px;
text-align:center;
}
/*Now for the hacky part....
...justify does not, by design, justify the last row of text
therfore we need to add an additional, invisible line*/
ul#mmenu:after {
content: "";
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
}
I have also removed the :first-child style in the Updated Fiddle
I am trying to make a navigation bar with the following code , but i can't seem to get the outer div to be of the same height as that of the unordered list inside.
I tried display:inline-block too but it doesn't seem to work.
Here is the html,
http://jsfiddle.net/jairajdesai/7Lyss/
HTML :
<div id="top_navigation_menu">
<ul id="top_navigation_list">
<li class="top_navigation_options">Home</li>
<li class="top_navigation_options">Places</li>
<li class="top_navigation_options">Travel</li>
<li class="top_navigation_options">Stay</li>
<li class="top_navigation_options">FAQs</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS :
#top_navigation_menu{
position:absolute;
top:14%;
min-width: 50%;
background-color:#eee;
color:white;
}
#top_navigation_list{
list-style-type: none;
}
.top_navigation_options{
display:inline;
}
Use display:inline with Ul and display:inline-block with li css class. Something like this
#top_navigation_list{
list-style-type: none;
background-color:#000;
display:inline;
}
.top_navigation_options{
display:inline-block;
}
JS Fiddle Demo
Just add margin: 0 in #top_navigation_list to remove the default margin of an unordered list.
