Menu
Hello, newbie here (apologies in advance, please be nice to me 😮 ).
I have a js menu I’m trying to center on the page relative to the width of the browser window. I’m able to move the menu, no problem, but I want it to center in the page, not have a fixed position from the left. The code is below…
This is probably the easiest thing in the work, but I need help. Any ideas?
Script to follow …
