Superfish Navbar Width problems

[nerd99]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to adapt the superfish navbar menu navigation to my site. I have a long, narrow div that I want this to fit into but I can't work out how to make it fit the div. I've tried increasing the padding-right of the list anchor but that causes a horizontal scroll in the browser because of the overflow and I don't want that.

 

There is probably something really simple I'm missing. Can anybody help?

 

superfish-navbar.css

/*** adding the class sf-navbar in addition to sf-menu creates an all-horizontal nav-bar menu ***/
.sf-navbar {
        background:             #BDD2FF;
        height:                 2.5em;
        padding-bottom: 2.5em;
        position:               relative;
}
.sf-navbar li {
        background:             #AABDE6;
        position:               static;
}
.sf-navbar a {
        border-top:             none;
}
.sf-navbar li ul {
        width:                  44em; /*IE6 soils itself without this*/
}
.sf-navbar li li {
        background:             #BDD2FF;
        position:               relative;
}
.sf-navbar li li ul {
        width:                  13em;
}
.sf-navbar li li li {
        width:                  100%;
}
.sf-navbar ul li {
        width:                  auto;
        float:                  left;
}
.sf-navbar a, .sf-navbar a:visited {
        border:                 none;
}
.sf-navbar li.current {
        background:             #BDD2FF;
}
.sf-navbar li:hover,
.sf-navbar li.sfHover,
.sf-navbar li li.current,
.sf-navbar a:focus, .sf-navbar a:hover, .sf-navbar a:active {
        background:             #BDD2FF;
}
.sf-navbar ul li:hover,
.sf-navbar ul li.sfHover,
ul.sf-navbar ul li:hover li,
ul.sf-navbar ul li.sfHover li,
.sf-navbar ul a:focus, .sf-navbar ul a:hover, .sf-navbar ul a:active {
        background:             #D1DFFF;
}
ul.sf-navbar li li li:hover,
ul.sf-navbar li li li.sfHover,
.sf-navbar li li.current li.current,
.sf-navbar ul li li a:focus, .sf-navbar ul li li a:hover, .sf-navbar ul li li a:active {
        background:             #E6EEFF;
}
ul.sf-navbar .current ul,
ul.sf-navbar ul li:hover ul,
ul.sf-navbar ul li.sfHover ul {
        left:                   0;
        top:                    2.5em; /* match top ul list item height */
}
ul.sf-navbar .current ul ul {
        top:                    -999em;
}

.sf-navbar li li.current > a {
        font-weight:    bold;
}

/*** point all arrows down ***/
/* point right for anchors in subs */
.sf-navbar ul .sf-sub-indicator { background-position: -10px -100px; }
.sf-navbar ul a > .sf-sub-indicator { background-position: 0 -100px; }
/* apply hovers to modern browsers */
.sf-navbar ul a:focus > .sf-sub-indicator,
.sf-navbar ul a:hover > .sf-sub-indicator,
.sf-navbar ul a:active > .sf-sub-indicator,

        background-position: -10px -100px; /* arrow hovers for modern browsers*/
}

/*** remove shadow on first submenu ***/
.sf-navbar > li > ul {
        background: transparent;
        padding: 0;
        -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 0;
        -moz-border-radius-topright: 0;
        -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 0;
        -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 0;
}

 

The above css is in addition to the following...

}
.sf-menu ul li {

}
.sf-menu li:hover {

}
.sf-menu li {

.sf-menu li:hover ul,
.sf-menu li.sfHover ul {

top:			2.5em; /* match top ul list item height */
z-index:		99;
}
ul.sf-menu li:hover li ul,
ul.sf-menu li.sfHover li ul {
top:			-999em;
}
ul.sf-menu li li:hover ul,
ul.sf-menu li li.sfHover ul {

top:			0;
}

}

/*** DEMO SKIN ***/

-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 17px;
}
.sf-shadow ul.sf-shadow-off {
background: transparent;
}

 

The div I am trying to fit the navbar into is described in my main css file as

#contentnav{ 
position: relative; 
top:10px;
height: 50px;
background-color:#fff;
margin:10px;
border: 1px solid red;
}

 

Markup is as follows:

<div id="contentnav">
   				<ul id="sample-menu-4" class="sf-menu sf-navbar">
				<li class="current">
					<a class="sf-with-ul" href="#">Menu1<span class="sf-sub-indicator"> &#187;</span></a>
					<ul>
						<li><a href="#">Sub1</a></li>
						<li><a href="#">Sub2</a></li>
						<li><a href="#">Sub3</a></li>

					</ul>
				</li>
				<li>
					<a class="sf-with-ul" href="#">Menu2<span class="sf-sub-indicator"> &#187;</span></a>
					<ul>
						<li><a href="#">Sub1</a></li>
						<li><a href="#">Sub2</a></li>
						<li><a href="#">Sub3</a></li>

					</ul>
				</li>
				<li>
					<a class="sf-with-ul" href="#">Menu3<span class="sf-sub-indicator"> &#187;</span></a>
					<ul>
						<li><a href="#">Sub1</a></li>
						<li><a href="#">Sub2</a></li>
						<li><a href="#">Sub3</a></li>

					</ul>
				</li>

					<li><a class="sf-with-ul" href="#">Menu4="sf-sub-indicator"> &#187;</span></a>
					<ul>
						<li><a href="#">Sub1</a></li>
						<li><a href="#">Sub2</a></li>
						<li><a href="#">Sub3</a></li>

					</ul>
				</li>
			</ul>
   					
   			
   			</div><!-- end contentnav -->
