Last goes to new row












0















I'm trying to make a landing page but I'm struggling to make my navigation bar work. Basically, it's supposed to put all the anchors in one row with an equal padding (Since I have 4: 25%) but it doesn't seem to be doing that.



Here's my code: http://jsfiddle.net/hLeytf6u/






.navbar {
width: 100%;
height: 15%;
background-color: yellow;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: auto;
float: left;
}

.navbar h1 {
text-align: center;
}

.navbar ul {
width: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
float: left;
}

.navbar ul li {
display: inline-block;
padding-right: 25%;
margin-top: 1.5%;
float: left;
}

<div class="navbar">
<h1>My Website</h1>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

You can accomplish the rows using flexbox.



Simply change in your css the following:



.navbar ul {
//your styles here
display: flex;
}

.navbar ul li {
display: block;
//rest of your styles
}

    It's because the padding is added on to the width of the item, so all of your paddings add up to 100% of the width, but then the width of the actual content of each LI makes it over 100% so it has to wrap.



    If you change it from padding-right: 25% to width: 25% you'll see it will start to work.



    I'd seriously look into flex for layouts like this though, it's far far simpler.

    Use width: 25%; instead of padding, as has been said in the comments. You also might want to add box-sizing: border-box to include whatever borders or padding you have * into* that width, and you might want to use text-align: center; to better distribute the li contents/text across the page.

      You can use display:flex for ul style. You don't need padding anymore.



      With the use of display:flex; and justify-content: space-between; on ul style you will achieve desired result.



      See the Snippet below:






      .navbar {
      width: 100%;
      height: 15%;
      background-color: yellow;
      margin: 0 auto;
      padding: auto;
      float: left;
      }

      .navbar h1 {
      text-align: center;
      }

      .navbar ul {
      width: 100%;
      margin: 0px;
      padding: 0px;
      list-style-type: none;
      float: left;
      display:flex;
      justify-content: space-between;
      }

      .navbar ul li {
      display: inline-block;
      margin-top: 1.5%;
      float: left;
      }

      <div class="navbar">
      <h1>My Website</h1>
      <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
      </ul>
      <div class="clear"></div>
      </div>





      You can test it here as well.

                    Use width: 25%; instead of padding, as has been said in the comments. You also might want to add box-sizing: border-box to include whatever borders or padding you have * into* that width, and you might want to use text-align: center; to better distribute the li contents/text across the page.

                        You can use display:flex for ul style. You don't need padding anymore.



                        With the use of display:flex; and justify-content: space-between; on ul style you will achieve desired result.



                        See the Snippet below:






                        .navbar {
                        width: 100%;
                        height: 15%;
                        background-color: yellow;
                        margin: 0 auto;
                        padding: auto;
                        float: left;
                        }

                        .navbar h1 {
                        text-align: center;
                        }

                        .navbar ul {
                        width: 100%;
                        margin: 0px;
                        padding: 0px;
                        list-style-type: none;
                        float: left;
                        display:flex;
                        justify-content: space-between;
                        }

                        .navbar ul li {
                        display: inline-block;
                        margin-top: 1.5%;
                        float: left;
                        }

                        <div class="navbar">
                        <h1>My Website</h1>
                        <ul>
                        <li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Test</a></li>
                        </ul>
                        <div class="clear"></div>
