horizontal dropdown menu using html and css

35 New Member

hi,

I have a single column webpage with a horizontal dropdown menu and am trying to make the nav bar fit across the page, the column is 800px, it looks ok in dreamweaver 8 but when I test it in firefox, the nav bar which is a horizontal blue stripe with the links written inside it doesn't stretch the whole 800px, also how would you align the words in the submenu to the main menu, currently the submenus are centered

why don't you get rid of this div:

#menuh-container
{
top:2em;
left:0;
}

and put those properties in the menu div
