Russia Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hey guys, I am having trouble centering a navbar with css on my template. Here is a jsfiddle live preview for you. http://jsfiddle.net/LRS38/ I added text-align:center; to it but it still wont center. I also added a margin:0 auto; but no luck. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? <div id="navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About</a></li> <li class="current"><a href="#">Services</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact us</a></li> </ul> </div> and #navigation { text-align:center; background-color:#ef6b51; overflow:hidden; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/290154-trouble-to-center-navbar-with-css/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberRobot Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 You could set the width of the <ul> tag: #navigation ul { margin:auto; width:500px; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/290154-trouble-to-center-navbar-with-css/#findComment-1486332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russia Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 You could set the width of the <ul> tag: #navigation ul { margin:auto; width:500px; } I thought about that, but I would have to figure out the exact pixels to keep on each side, is there way to set it as like 50% of 960?

cyberRobot Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 If you don't want to set the width, changing the display property also seems to work: #navigation ul { margin:auto; display:inline-block; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/290154-trouble-to-center-navbar-with-css/#findComment-1486334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
