I would like to have a bootstrap navbar where some nav items are left-justified, some are right justified, and some are centered in the remaining space between them.
<div class="navbar">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<ul class="nav">
<li><a>Left</a></li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav nav-center">
<li><a>Center 1</a></li>
<li><a>Center 2</a></li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav pull-right">
<li><a>Right</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
This jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/b7whs/ shows this--I'd like the Center 1 and Center 2 nav items to be together, centered in the navbar. Is this possible?
There are a lot suggestions here on SO about how to do this; none of them have worked for me. Is this even possible?
In my case, what's on the left and right will always be the same size, so I think it should be feasible.
You just needed a couple of styles to get the behaviour that I think you wanted. It looks like you were going the display:inline-block
route to center the elements, so I'll just continue along that approach. To your existing styles, add/modify definitions so that these styles are included:
.nav.nav-center {
margin:0;
float:none;
}
.navbar-inner{
text-align:center;
}
With that, the two options should move to the exact center of your navigation bar. Here's a JSFiddle example to show you what this would look like. I hope this is what you were looking for! If not, let me know and I'll be happy to help further.
Just found out the solution myself today.
Just Add the CSS as:
/* center the navbar*/
.center.navbar .nav,
.center.navbar .nav > li {
float:none;
display:inline-block;
*display:inline; /* ie7 fix */
*zoom:1; /* hasLayout ie7 trigger */
vertical-align: top;
}
.center .navbar-inner {
text-align:center;
}
.center .dropdown-menu {
text-align: left;
}
and add center class to navbar like this
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top center">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container center">
----
</div>
</div>
</div>
use this css actually in bootstrap li
and ul
are float left
http://jsfiddle.net/b7whs/4/
@import url('http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/assets/css/bootstrap.css');
.container {
margin-top: 10px;
}
.nav.nav-center {
display: inline-block;
left: 0;
right: 0;
text-align:center;width:70%;
}
.nav.nav-center li,.nav.nav-center li a{display:inline;float:none;line-height:40px;}
add this code
<div class="col-lg-4 col-lg-offset-5 col-xs-2 col-xs-offset-4">
<ul class=" nav navbar-nav ">
<li><a href="#">products</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
