I am trying to have equal spacing between four different li
elements, but I end up with this:
HTML:
<ul><li>Inbox</li></li><li>Drafts</li></li><li>Sent</li></li><li>Trash</li></ul>
CSS:
ul li {
width: 25%;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
I have tested the CSS and it is working as it should. I think the problem is that the li
's don't all have the same amount of letters, so you end up with some weird visual effects. My reason for believing this:
(Equal spacing)
My approach with this issue is to center the li on the ul since the ul will naturally be the same width than the parent.
ul {
/* Use flex boxes to align li items */
display: flex;
justify-content: space-around;
/* Remove default padding from major browsers */
padding: 0;
/* Hide the default decorations for li items */
list-style: none;
}
ul > li {
/* Display the elements in one line */
display: inline-block;
}
Check out this JSFiddle to see it working.
Try this
ul {
width:100%;
margin-left: 0;
margin-bottom: 0
}
li {
list-style-type: none;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 20px;
}
