Nav Bar Text Alignment

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 18.2010

Hi,
My navbar seem to be out of alignment as each text on the button is of different length.

i have the navbar as follows:

[CODE].navbar {
width: 940px;
height: 25px;
font-family: verdana;
font-size:13px;
font-weight: bold;
background: url(../images/navB.jpg) repeat-x;
line-height: 25px;
padding-left: 20px;
}[/CODE]

How do I get the buttons to be spaced out evenly? ?

Thank you.

so:

[CODE]
.nav .item {width:50px;}
[/CODE]

.button a{

float: left;

width: 150px;

height: 25px;

color: #FFF;

text-decoration: none;

text-align:center;

}

.button a:hover {

float: left;

width: 150px;

height: 25px;

color: #000;

background: #FFF;

text-decoration: none;

text-align:center;

font-weight: bold;

background: #fff;

@lockjs01Nov 19.2010 — Assuming you mean you have the something like the following menu items:

[CODE]
<ul class="navbar">
<li class="button"=>Item 1</li>
<li class="button">my very long item</li>
<li class="button">Item 3</li>
</ul>
[/CODE]

so Item 1 and 3 now look odd as their container is too large in relation to the text, you could try removing the fixed width and applying a padding-left/right or margin-left/right value to the .button class. this would provide consistent spacing between the elements.

*note having as the bold :hover text is larger it will make the buttons wider as you hover over them.

Yes, that's the issue I'm having. OK, I will give that a try.

Thank you ?
