I'm trying to centralize my nav bar, I've tried text align center, and margin auto, but it stays fixed to the left. I also tried to add a width, but still it stays fixed. Thanks in advance for your help. Please check out the JSFIDDLE . The HTML is as follows:
<section class="contain">
<div id="section-nav" class="section-nav">
<div class="top">
<ul>
<li class="logo"><a href="#">Magna Contra</a></li>
<li class="active"><a href="#">Festival: Paris</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Festival: Paris</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Festival: Paris</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Festival: Paris</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</section>
And the CSS:
ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
li
{
display:inline;
padding:15px;
text-align: center;
margin: auto 0;
}
li a{
text-decoration: none;
color:#bbbbbb;
font-family: "proxima-nova",sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-align: center;
font-size: 0.78em;
letter-spacing: .2em}
li a:hover{
color:white;
}
.logo a{
color:#bbb;
font-size: 0.78em;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.logo a:hover{
color:white;
}
.active a{
color:white;
}
.container {
display: table;
width:980px;
height: 100%;
}
.contain{
display: table;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.block {
display: table-row;
height: 1px;
}
.navigation {
display: inline-block;
padding: 10px;
width:100%;
margin: auto;
height: 150px;
}
.top {
background-color: #444;
width:100%;
display: inline-block;
padding: 10px;
text-align: left;
}
.navigation:nth-child(odd) {
background: #222;
}
.push {
height: auto;
}
.container {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
.block:nth-child(odd) {
background: #fff;
}
.search {
border:0px;
background-color:transparent;
color:white;
display: inline-block;
height:28px;
}
.section-nav a{-webkit-transition:400ms;-moz-transition:400ms;-o-transition:400ms;transition:400ms;color:#bbb;font-weight:700;outline:0;text-decoration:none}
.section-nav a.active,.section-nav a:hover{color:#fff;text-decoration:none}
Your div "section-nav" is not closed. I would fix this first.
You have also applied text-align:left to your .top div, which is the main container for the navigation buttons.
The easiest option is to add text-align: center
to the ul
:
ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align: center;
}
I would also set the li
s to display: inline-block
to give you more control over their styling.
In the given fiddle you have
.top {
text-align: left;
}
change it to
.top {
text-align: center
}

I used this when I had the same problem and have pretty much duplicated it for multiple sites. He explains it much better than I can.
