UPDATE: I found a creative solution to my issue. By adding margin-left and margin-right set to auto, along with fixing the width of the nav menu to 1002px and setting its positioning to relative, I was able to achieve the desired effect. Additionally, I created another div with a background as a placeholder and positioned it absolutely. Thanks to those who provided suggestions, your help is valued.
I'm currently facing a website design challenge and seeking assistance. The nav menu div on my website does not have a fixed width (set at 100%) and contains unordered lists such as "Home | About | Services | Gallery | Contact". The issue arises when viewing the site in a browser - the unordered lists float to the left and remain misaligned even when scrolling or resizing the page. Is there a way to position these lists without specifying a fixed width for the div, so they align properly with the rest of the content?
Here's the CSS code for the navigation menu:
@charset "utf-8";
#navigation {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 40px;
background-image: url(../pictures/nav_bg.jpg);
}
#navigation ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#navigation li {
float: left;
}
#navigation ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
float: left;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #000;
text-align: center;
display: block;
width: 88px;
height: 30px;
background-image: url(../pictures/nav_button.jpg);
padding-top: 10px;
}
#navigation ul li a:hover {
background-image:url(../pictures/nav_button_hover.jpg)
}
