• Hey everyone,

    I have a navigation bar on my website: https://sitedemonstration.hostei.com/

    On the navigation bar as you can see, I just need to have more spacing between the lines for the ‘about’ and ‘contact’ pages. I want the spacing to look like this: https://i44.tinypic.com/2w4jud1.png

    Also, when I click on ‘about’ and ‘contact’ it should have the white tab on it like when you click on ‘home’ but they don’t. I need to know how to make ‘about’ and ‘contact’ have the white tab over them when I click on them. Thank you SO much!!! ??

    Here is my code:

    /* navigation bar */
    
    #navigation {
            width: 819px;
            height: 34px;
            float: left;
            position: relative;
            top: 50px;
            left: 20px;
            }
    
    #navigation_left {
            width: 11px;
            height: 34px;
            float: left;
            padding: 6px 0 0 11px;
            text-align: right;
            }
    #navigation_center {
            width: 654px;
            height: 34px;
            float: left;
            background-position: bottom left;
            background-image: url(https://thanksgoogle.com/wordpress/images/nav-rept.jpg);
            background-repeat: repeat-x;
            padding: 0;
            }
    
    #navigation_center ul {
            list-style: none;
            margin: 0px;
            padding: 0px;
            }

  • Have a look at the margin/padding of the selector “#navigation_center ul li a” – removing the line with “margin-right” and setting the padding to “0 10px 3px” looks much better. Repeat this for the corresponding stanza with a:hover.

    Once you’ve clicked on, say, “About” the li element contains a CSS class current_page_item. Adding “, #navigation_center ul li a.current_page_item” after “#navigation_center ul li a.active” should help you here.

    BTW: No need to spam the forum.

    Sorry for double posting…but I couldn’t really understand what you meant by the ‘0 10px 3px’ since their are 4 characters eg. 0px 0px 0px 0px.

    Um…sorry for wasting your time but would you be able to copy the code I pasted above, then add in what you just told me? So then I could just copy and paste it in, to make it easier.

    Thx!

    since their are 4 characters

    You can have one value (all the same), two values (first value: top, bottom; second value: right, left), three values (first value: top; second one: right, left; third: bottom) and, yes, up to four values (top, right, bottom, left) after margin/padding. So you can either write “0px 10px 3px” or “0px 10px 3px 10px” which is the same.

    Anyway, here (diff only) you go.
