Centered Menu with CSS

Question

I am trying to center my menu, but I don't know why it isn't working. Can someone help me?

 body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } /*Strip the ul of padding and list styling*/ ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: absolute; } /*Create a horizontal list with spacing*/ li { display: inline-block; float: left; margin-right: 1px; } /*Style for menu links*/ li a { display: block; min-width: 140px; height: 50px; text-align: center; line-height: 50px; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #fff; background: #2f3036; text-decoration: none; } /*Hover state for top level links*/ li:hover a { background: #19c589; } /*Style for dropdown links*/ li:hover ul a { background: #f3f3f3; color: #2f3036; height: 40px; line-height: 40px; } /*Hover state for dropdown links*/ li:hover ul a:hover { background: #19c589; color: #fff; } /*Hide dropdown links until they are needed*/ li ul { display: none; } /*Make dropdown links vertical*/ li ul li { display: block; float: none; } /*Prevent text wrapping*/ li ul li a { width: auto; min-width: 100px; padding: 0 20px; } /*Display the dropdown on hover*/ ul li a:hover+.hidden, .hidden:hover { display: block; } /*Style 'show menu' label button and hide it by default*/ .show-menu { font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; color: #fff; background: #19c589; text-align: center; padding: 10px 0; display: none; } /*Hide checkbox*/ input[type=checkbox] { display: none; } /*Show menu when invisible checkbox is checked*/ input[type=checkbox]:checked~#menu { display: block; } /*Responsive Styles*/ @media screen and (max-width: 760px) { /*Make dropdown links appear inline*/ ul { position: static; display: none; } /*Create vertical spacing*/ li { margin-bottom: 1px; } /*Make all menu links full width*/ ul li, li a { width: 100%; } /*Display 'show menu' link*/ .show-menu { display: block; } }

 <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" /> </head> <body> <label for="show-menu" class="show-menu">Show Menu</label> <input type="checkbox" id="show-menu" role="button" /> <ul id="menu"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li> <a href="#">About ￬</a> <ul class="hidden"> <li><a href="#">Who We Are</a></li> <li><a href="#">What We Do</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="#">Portfolio ￬</a> <ul class="hidden"> <li><a href="#">Photography</a></li> <li><a href="#">Web & User Interface Design</a></li> <li><a href="#">Illustration</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">News</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li> </ul> </body> </html>

Thanks for helping.

You are declaring all of your ul elements as position:absolute . You will need to change your ul id="menu" item to static positioning, and also give it a defined width since you are defining the width of your li a elements. Check your updated fiddle here . Simply add the following to your css:

#menu {
  width:705px;
  margin:0 auto;
  display:block;
  position:static;
}
