In the previous section, we talked about vertical navigation. however, most websites still use horizontal navigation, so you can learn how to implement horizontal navigation. how can we achieve the following results. you only need to avoid line breaks between the list items, so you need to convert <li> to inline.
The HTML and CSS codes are as follows:
Copy to ClipboardReference: [www.bkjia.com] <! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-// W3C // dtd xhtml 1.0 Strict // EN"
Http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd>
<Html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang = "en-US">
<Head>
<Title> Lists as navigation-bkjia.com </title>
<Meta http-equiv = "content-type"
Content = "text/html; charset = UTF-8"/>
<Link rel = "stylesheet" type = "text/css" href = "listnav_horiz.css"/>
</Head>
<Body>
<Div id = "navigation">
<Ul>
<Li> <a href = "#"> Recipes </a> </li>
<Li> <a href = "#"> Contact Us </a> </li>
<Li> <a href = "#"> Articles </a> </li>
<Li> <a href = "#"> Buy Online </a> </li>
</Ul>
</Div>
</Body>
</Html>
Body {
Padding: 1em;
}
# Navigation {
Font-size: 90%;
}
# Navigation ul {
List-style: none;
Margin: 0;
Padding: 0;
Padding-top: 1em;
}
# Navigation li {
Display: inline;
}
# Navigation a: link, # navigation a: visited {
Padding: 0.4em 1em 0.4em 1em;
Color: # FFFFFF;
Background-color: # B51032;
Text-decoration: none;
Border: 1px solid #711515;
}
# Navigation a: hover {
Color: # FFFFFF;
Background-color: #711515;
}
Analysis:
Create a div container and add a list to it:
Copy to ClipboardReference: [www.bkjia.com] <div id = "navigation">
<Ul>
<Li> <a href = "#"> Recipes </a> </li>
<Li> <a href = "#"> Contact Us </a> </li>
<Li> <a href = "#"> Articles </a> </li>
<Li> <a href = "#"> Buy Online </a> </li>
</Ul>
</Div>
Add some basic information in the # navigation container, such as the font size. in the CSS layout, this container may also add some additional information, such as: determine the location of the navigation on the page.
Copy to ClipboardReference: [www.bkjia.com] # navigation {
Font-size: 90%;
}
Next, in the <ul> object, we clear the default dots and the default indentation.
Copy to ClipboardReference: [www.bkjia.com] # navigation ul {
List-style: none;
Margin: 0;
Padding: 0;
Padding-top: 1em;
}
Now it is the most important part of horizontal navigation, because without this step, it is not called horizontal navigation. ^ _ ^. Set <li> as an inline element, thus avoiding line breaks.
Copy to ClipboardReference: [www.bkjia.com] # navigation li {
Display: inline;
}
Finally, add some effects to the navigation:
Copy to ClipboardReference: [www.bkjia.com] # navigation a: link, # navigation a: visited {
Padding: 0.4em 1em 0.4em 1em;
Color: # FFFFFF;
Background-color: # B51032;
Text-decoration: none;
Border: 1px solid #711515;
}
# Navigation a: hover {
Color: # FFFFFF;
Background-color: #711515;
}
PS: If you want to increase the distance between the text and the border, you need to set left padding and right padding. if you want to increase the distance between items, you must set left margin and right margin.
