I have a horizontal navigation that I want to be centered. It
is left aligned right now, and I have tried a whole bunch of stuff,
but it won’t budge. I’m thinking I have some CSS somewhere that is
not allowing it to be centered, but I can’t see where that would
be. Can someone take a look and let me know if you have any ideas?
Anything would be helpful.
Thanks so much. here’s the link:

#mainnav li {
float:left;
Your menu is floating left of other content on the page.
That’s why it
won’t center when you use html to align center.
margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px
You could add some extra pixels to your left margin. Try 45
instead of 20.

Nancy,
Thanks for your reply. I see that I have the li elements
floating left. That is how I was shown to make the horizontal
navigation. If I drop that, the navigation is vertical, which is
not what I want. Adding padding to the li elements could work, but
then they will all be very spread out, which is not what I am
looking for either. Is there a way to take all of the li elements
and put them in the center? or maybe a whole new way to make that
horizontal nav so I don’t have to use float:left.
thanks

You don’t have to use unordered lists for menus.
CSS:
#menu {text-align:center}
HTML:
<div id=”menu”>
<a href=”#”>Home</a> |
<a href=”#”>Stuff</a> |
<a href=”#”>More stuff</a> |
<a href=”#”>Even more stuff</a>
</div>
Home | Stuff | More Stuff | Even More Stuff

Nancy, thanks again.
I am aware that you don’t have to use a list to make a menu.
However, I was on the impression that it is considered best
practice because of accesibility reasons. Is this incorrect?
thanks
