Currently, I am immersing myself in learning navigation bars and dropdowns using only HTML & CSS. However, I have run into a problem where I am unable to fill the buttons to the length of a container. I attempted to utilize flexbox but unfortunately, that did not yield the desired outcome.
Here is the code snippet:
body {
background-color: #D4D4D4;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 26px;
color: #666;
margin: 0;
}
.reset {
clear: both;
}
.navigation {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: rgb(58, 58, 58);
border-top: 3px solid #FFF;
box-shadow: 0px 11px 21px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.59);
}
.navigation li {
float: left;
}
.navigation li:hover {
background-color: #222;
}
.navigation li:first-child {
border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
-moz-border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
-ms-border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
-o-border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
}
.navigation li a {
display: block;
padding: 0 20px;
text-decoration: none;
line-height: 40px;
color: #FFF;
}
.navigation ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
list-style: none;
margin-left: -3px;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.navigation ul li {
float: none;
}
.navigation li:hover > ul li:hover {
border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
-ms-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
-o-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
}
.navigation li li a:hover {
background-color: #000;
}
.navigation ul li:last-child a,
.navigation ul li:last-child a:hover {
border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
-ms-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
-o-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
}
.navigation li:hover {
border-bottom: 2px solid dodgerblue;
}
.navigation li {
border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 1281px) {
.submenu::after {
content: " +";
}
.navigation li:hover .submenu::after {
content: " –";
}
.navigation li:hover > ul {
display: block;
background-color: #222;
border: 3px solid #FFF;
border-top: 0;
border-radius: 0 0 8px 8px;
-webkit-border-radius: 0 0 8px 8px;
-moz-border-radius: 0 0 8px 8px;
-ms-border-radius: 0 0 8px 8px;
-o-border-radius: 0 0 8px 8px;
box-shadow: 0px 3px 3px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
}
