I'm having my first crack at an HTML5 site using some of the new
elements. It's all at an early stage, but I'm trying to iron out a few
problems with the menu.
http://www.mull-bed-and-breakfast.co.uk/temp/
My client wants a horizontal menu centred on the page, holding (at the
moment) seven list items. I'm trying to use 'margin: 0 auto;' on the NAV
element to do this, but struggling because the width of this element may
vary according to the number of list items (and the length of their
text, padding, etc.).
I'm also trying to use max- and min-width to ensure that the list items
display on two lines, but this seems to cause trouble with the padding
being ignored (see the 'Special Occasions' item).
I see no reason why the NAV element should behave any differently from a
DIV, and perhaps it doesn't, but you'll see it's not quite centred. I've
floated the List Items so they all close up nicely in a horizontal line,
and floated the UL so that it expands to contain all the List Items.
I have a feeling I'm not seeing the wood for the trees, and if anyone
can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.
Regards,
Tim Dawson
