I've tried for the past 3 hours to try and get this to work properly with no luck, and am so frustrated.
I have a horizontal menu with links, but I can't get the entire button to be clickable. I then ran into trouble with centering the menu.
Page looks like this (it's centered on the website, container width 900px)
http://i.stack.imgur.com/cFKpf.png
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="title">
<h1>Welcome to my website</h1>
</div>
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contacts</li>
<li>FAQ</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>
CSS:
#container{
background-color: whitesmoke;
width: 900px;
margin: 0px auto;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
#menu, #menu ul {
width: 100%;
height: 35px;
background-color: #333;
color: whitesmoke;
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
display: table;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
}
#menu li{
display: table-cell;
padding: 0px 50px;
vertical-align: middle;
border: solid 1.5px olive;
}
#menu a, #menu a:visited {
color: whitesmoke;
text-decoration: none;
}
#menu li:hover {
background-color: olive;
color: white;
}
Any help on how to get the entire button clickable while maintaining the look of the page?
Thanks
You shouldn't give the li a padding. You should set the a to display: block; and give them the padding. Doing that the a will fill the whole box, because there won't be any padding between li and a.
Just set display: block on the anchors:
#menu a {
display: block;
}

I am building a navbar with hover effects over the nav items and an inline button, however, the text in my button is not lining up with the other nav items. In addition I am having trouble figuring out how to get the red hover background to space itself evenly above and below the text of my nav items. What am I doing wrong?
<nav class="navbar">
<a id="header" href="#">Adopt <span class="me">Me</span> </a>
<ul >
<div id="rightitems">
<li>About Us</li>
<li>What we do</li>
<li>Benefits</li>
<li>Our Buddies</li>
<button class="btn">Contact Us</button>
</div>
</div>
</ul>
</nav>
.btn{
display: inline;
width: auto;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 0;
}
.btn a{
margin: 0;
}
body{
background-image: url(bulldog.jpg)
}
a{
text-decoration: none;
}
nav ul{
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
text-decoration: none;
display: flex;
position: relative;
}
nav a{
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
.navbar{
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
width: 100%;
}
#rightitems{
display: flex;
}
li{
width: auto;
}
li:hover{
width: auto;
}
li:hover {
background-color: #FF4850;
color: white;
border-radius: 10px;
}
nav li:hover{
color: white;
}
nav a:hover{
color: white;
}
Looks like some duplicate selectors and a bit of redundant styling. I've made some adjustments check out this fiddle:
nav a {
margin: 10px;
text-decoration: none;
}
nav a:not('me'):hover{
color: white;
}
.navbar #rightitems li{
padding: 10px 5px;
}

I'm trying to make a drop down component (in Reactjs), and I am having trouble on how to make it not pop up outside the browser width.
I have tried to set right: 0px, it works fine when the dropdown is at the rightmost of the panel, but if the dropdown is not then it gets messed up.
here is the codepen for the sample.
here is a sample css
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
.dropdown-content a {
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
text-align: left;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
here is a sample html
<li class="dropdown">
Dropdown
<div class="dropdown-content">
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
</div>
</li>
, you can notice that there is a scrollbar there.
What I want to achieve is that I can right align the drop down content, relative to the drop down header.
Thanks
You just need to adjust right side dropdown contents. One possible way is as follow
<div class="dropdown-content d2">
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
</div>
.d2 {
right:0;
}
Ping me if you have any query.
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #333;

}
li a, .dropbtn {
display: inline-block;

text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;

This is driving me insane, and I just can't figure out the cause. I have a JSP application that is connected to bootstrap. First of all, I am by no means an expert in CSS, and am green in that area. My issue is that inline-block just will not work. My bootstrap is used for the collapse plugin that allows me to use a menu button instead of the regular menu in smartphones.
When I use a desktop-size, the menu items are displayed in block format (vertical), even though I have used display: inline-block. Here's my code, and if anyone has an idea why inline-block is not working please let me know.
The html:
<ul id="menu-items" class="navbar-collapse collapse menubar-items">
<li>
<a class="menuItems" href="home.jsp">Home</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="menuItems" href="business.jsp">Business</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="menuItems" href="new-form.jsp">New Order</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="menuItems" href="logout.do">Logout</a>
</li>
</ul>
The css:
#menu-items {
min-width: 250px;
background: #CFC3F8;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px #888888;
padding: 0;
float: right;
}
#menu-items li {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin-right: 10px;
text-decoration: none;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
line-height: 60px;
font-size: 16px;
border-left: solid white 2px;
color: #332419;
//The attempt
display: inline-block;
}
#menu-items li a.menuItems {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#menu-items li a.menuItems:hover {
color: #332419;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
//ensuring that bootstrap doesn't override it
.navbar-collapse li {
display: inline-block;
text-decoration: none;
}
.collapse li {
display: inline-block;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul li {
display: inline-block;
text-decoration: none;
}
Okay after a lot of googling I finally found out how to centre the menu links in the middle of the nav bar. After that I came across another problem...adding a logo in the navigation bar.
My problem is, the logo doesn't come into the navigation bar, it instead goes above the bar.
I would like to have the logo floating to the left in the nav bar.
I have tried a few things, including adding display: inline-block/inline to all the main elements, but no difference. Though I tried adding display: inline to the nav ul, but the background of the nav bar disappears (see second image) and I can't add a background via adding height and width.
P.s Excuse me If there are few amateur mistakes, I have only started to code a few months ago.
Thanks for your time!
How the nav bar looks now:
How the nav bar looks with display: inline;
Here is my HTML and CSS:
#logo {
height: 50px;
width: auto;
float: left;
}
nav ul {
list-style-type: none;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #1a1a1a;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #e7e7e7;
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
nav li {
display: inline-block;
}
nav a {
display: inline-block;
padding: 16px 15px;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: arial;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
}
nav a:hover {
background-color: orange;
color: white;
}
<nav>
<img id="logo" src="https://67.media.tumblr.com/f607af5bc60d1b2837add83c70a2aa45/tumblr_inline_mrwv19q8fE1qz4rgp.gif"></img>
<ul>
<li>Game 1
</li>
<li>Game 2
</li>
<li>Game 3
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Just insert it inside your ul.
#logo {
height: 50px;
width: auto;
float: left;
}
nav ul {
list-style-type: none;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #1a1a1a;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #e7e7e7;
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
nav li {
display: inline-block;
}
nav a {
display: inline-block;
padding: 16px 15px;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: arial;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
}
nav a:hover {
background-color: orange;
color: white;
}
<nav>
<ul>
<img id="logo" src="https://67.media.tumblr.com/f607af5bc60d1b2837add83c70a2aa45/tumblr_inline_mrwv19q8fE1qz4rgp.gif"/>
<li>Game 1
</li>
<li>Game 2
</li>
<li>Game 3
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
The easiest way is to probably do a position:absolute
https://jsfiddle.net/fj1r6b1e/
#logo {
height: 50px;
width: auto;
position:absolute;
}
Also, img tag should be written like this <img src="..." /> instead of <img></img>
Give the logo img position: fixed. This will not affect the position/centering of the menu items.

Is there a better way of making footer menu for responsive? rather than duplicating and display: none; in the css?
Here are my attempts:
<header class="row">
<div class="container">
<div class="col-12 columns">
<img src="images/logo.png" alt="" class="logo">
Navigation
<nav role="primary" >
<ul id="nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About Me</li>
<li>Blog</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
</header>
Footer nav. Commented out the nav for the purpose of this question.
<nav role="secondary_menu">
<!-- <ul id="nav2">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About Me</li>
<li>Blog</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav> -->
<footer id="footer">
<div class="container">
<p>Created by: </p>
</div>
</footer>
CSS:
a.nav-link{
float: right;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
background: #808080;
color:#fff;
font-weight: bold;
padding:1em 2em;
margin-top: 1.5em;
}
nav[role="primary"] ul{
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
nav[role="primary"] ul li a{
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
background: #3c3c3c;
display: block;
padding:.75em;
color:#ccc;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.container .columns{
float: left;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding-right: 1em;
padding-left: 1em;
}
.row{
float: left;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
}
.columns.col-12 { width: 100%; }
So the codes above shows when the screen is below 600px however this way it pushes the footer the menu rather than at the bottom, Sure I positioned the footer absolute but it just sits above the menu rather than under it. So I made another attempt which I duplicated the nav and just hiding the when its below 600px.
position:none
position:absolute
Trying to achieve without duplicating and remove whitespace
I saw your main nav was set to position: absolute. I would suggest looking at CSS templates to see how they structure things like footers. For example, http://bootswatch.com/default/ Try this CSS:
a.nav-link{
float: right;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
background: #808080;
color:#fff;
font-weight: bold;
padding:1em 2em;
margin-top: 1.5em;
}
nav[role="primary"] ul{
list-style-type: none;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
nav[role="primary"] ul li a{
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
background: #3c3c3c;
display: block;
padding:.75em;
color:#ccc;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.container .columns{
margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding-right: 1em;
padding-left: 1em;
}
.row{
margin-right: -15px;
margin-left: -15px;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
}
.columns.col-12 { width: 100%; }
