asked on

expand bar on both sides of css menu

I  finally got the horizonal css menu nav bar to center, but now I can't get the bar to expand to 100% of width because I had to declard a width size in order to center it.  Is there any way around this problem.

After your <body> tag, add this

<center>

Now change the width of the horizontal navbar to 100% instead of 825px so it fills the whole width or change the width size to 1264px. The problem of centering is because you are missing the <center> tag to center all page content. For each item you don't want centered, you add "text-align:left" to those div elements. Anyway try that and see how it looks.
Actually you would be better off putting the top nav bar inside the DOIBanner container as that container has a width property of 1265px and the nav bar looks to be inside it.

The bar becomes uncentered and does not expand.

The Horizontal size is maximum 1000px if it increase more than that it will come a scroll bar. please fix the size and place it.
smitty62: Can you post your webpage and the css if it is external. It would help if I could edit it myself and get it centered. I can't see your code so don't know what to tell you but this will be something very VERY simple to fix. Just need to see all of your code for that page.
