I've got this menu wich is setup inline and has dropdowns.
The inner ul
has a background.
Each dropdown li
has a :hover
that changes the background of the li
:
<div id="navMain">
<ul>
<li><a href="#nogo">Forside</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#nogo">1111111111111</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 1-2</a></li>
<!-- etc. -->
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Om Os</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 2-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 2-2</a></li>
<!-- etc. -->
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 3</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 3-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 3-2</a></li>
<!-- etc. -->
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Problem is, that when one of the submenu li
is longer than the others, it will only expand itself, and not the other li
ofcourse.
This results in the :hover
effect having different lengths.
So how would i make all li
in each inner ul
the same size as the widest one?
Here you can find the CSS if needed.
Here. Notice I added a class to your menu li's and that I added a body background to your css, because I couldn't notice your menus. Finally the trick is done by making the li elements 100% width
<html>
<head>
<style>
body
{
background-color:green;
}
.menu li{
width:100%
}
#navMain {
}
#navMain ul {
padding:0;
margin:0;
z-index: 2;
}
#navMain ul li {
margin-right: 5px;
text-align:center;
}
#navMain li a {
display: block;
text-decoration:none;
color: white;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right:10px;
}
#navMain li a:hover{
background-color: black;
}
#navMain ul li:last-child {
margin-right: 0px;
}
#navMain li {
position: relative;
float: left;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
font-size: 17px;
font-weight: bold;
color:#fff;
}
#navMain ul ul {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
visibility: hidden;
background-image: url(img/alphaBg.png);
}
#navMain ul li ul li {
font-size: 12px;
margin-right: 0px;
text-align: left;
}
#navMain ul li ul li:first-child {
padding-top:5px;
}
#navMain ul li:hover ul{
visibility:visible;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="navMain">
<ul>
<li><a href="#nogo">Forside</a>
<ul class="menu">
<li><a href="#nogo">1111111111111</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 1-2</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 1-3</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 1-3</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 1-3</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 1-3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Om Os</a>
<ul class="menu">
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 2-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 2-2</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 2-3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 3</a>
<ul class="menu">
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 3-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 3-2</a></li>
<li><a href="#nogo">Link 3-3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
li {display:block}
will make the list items as wide as the widest item in that parent container
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<style>
body{
background:#ededed;
margin:0 auto;

.wrapper{

padding:5px;
}
.menu {

margin:0;
width: 100%;
border-bottom: 0;
}
.menu li{
display: table-cell;
width: 1%;
