Hi Tom (and others doing debugging of CSS issues with Bootstrap), This may be a bit of a dumb question with an obvious "yes" answer, but just wondering if you (and others on this mailing list) are using the Web Inspector with Safari/Chrome browser (or Firebug with Firefox) in order to determine what is affecting the specific elements that you are having trouble with, with respect to css layout, styling etc.
If you aren't using the Web Inspector or Firebug right now, I highly recommend you do as it is a *massively* valuable tool for telling you what's going on with any particular element on a page (i.e. what styles are affecting the element, what ones are overriding others, etc) and even allows you to make real-time edits to your html/css and see what they do to the page. Anyhow perhaps you are using it, and still having issues figuring out what's going on, but if you aren't (and for others on this list that may not be using it either) I highly recommend using the Web Inspector (or Firebug for Firefox) and becoming extremely familiar with it - I'm not aware of any other tool that is more valuable in my mind for debugging CSS/HTML issues (once you understand and get the hang of it) - and it's pretty simple to use. Someone did a video (link below) that explains how to activate/use it (this shows Safari 4 Web Inspector, however this is also exactly how it works for Google Chrome and Firefox/Firebug). Internet Explorer I believe also has developer tools available by hitting F12, although I am not as familiar with that and it's capabilities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXdR5eIFZ8k Rick On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 5:27 PM, tom12010 <[email protected]> wrote: > Centering a nav list is easy to do usually... > > However, applying text-align:center doesn't cause the nav-pills > content to center...why?? > > I can write other/different css/list code but I'd really puzzled by > this -- nothing in the css indicates that nav or nav-pills can't be > centered in the browser window. > > Thank you, Tom
