Hi Joe,

I am afraid that I don't get your point, what is floating left ? Please help to make it clear.

Gardner.

I am not sure if i got your point. But if you want to positions it to the center try: margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;

Sorry, I'll try to explain it better with the attached screenshot.

This is what I meant about the floating...in bootstrap.css line: 4141

@media (min-width: 768px) {
.navbar-nav {
float: left;
margin: 0;
}

Also theres also link for the site I'm working on.

Thanks

P.S. Maurice I tried "margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" and that didn't work

Hi Joe

Hello Joe,

It looks like you have tried to centre the menu using padding and width, it is working OK but it is not dead centre.

I managed to do this by adding the following code:
(I don;t think you need the code for padding and margins any more)
.t3-mainnav .t3-navbar {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}

.navbar-nav {
// float:left <- REMOVE THIS
display: inline-block;
margin-bottom:-5px;
}

The margin-bottom removes the additional spacing under the menu caused by using inline-block properties. It is well know quirk of of hos CSS handled these blocks, as explained here: http://css-tricks.com/fighting-the-space-between-inline-block-elements/

Thanks for your response Chamira Athauda.

I tried this before your post and this seems to work


.t3-mainnav .t3-navbar {
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
width: 990px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

I think the main thing I learned is that the auto margins or auto padding won't work unless you have a width defined. There is no width needed in the original blank template.

Also I fixed my screenshot image for anyone searching this topic and needing more clarification. I'm not sure why it got corrupted.

A link to the final site and screenshot are below

Sorry guys for not following the thread. It's great to see it work for you @Joe and thanks you for your solution @Chamira
