Hi guys,
I have this project, where I have to create a small basic site.. I have the majority of it. But I have 6 headings with links underneath them. That I have to place horizontally.
But I am having no luck in actually figuring out how to do it. I am following along with the CSS layout tutorial but I am still having no luck. Any one think they know?
It is much appreciated.
This is the code i am trying to edit. So that they all align together in order. <div class="secondary-wrapper"> <div class="container"> <hr> <h3>Contact Us</h3> <h3>Contact Us</h3> <h3>Contact Us</h3> <h3>Contact Us</h3> <h3>Contact Us</h3> </hr> </div> </div>

Sorry again. I still can not seem to get it to work.. Basically you know on some web pages at the bottom of the web pages they have links so to a careers page or to an about and like a mini navigation.. At the bottom. I can't actually show you what I am after. Because I can't link it to work spaces does this make sense?

It might help others to help you if you mark out the code. Click on "Markdown Cheatsheet" below the post field. And then put code comments on the areas you need help with. Also, this sounds like something Flexbox could be of use with? I'm a student just like you, but that is just a hunch based on your description.

14,582 PointsHi Mike,
It's a bit hard to show the code as such, I am following a img that I was sent to do as a small project.
I've not used a Flexbox yet but I will have a look at the tutorial. I am re-learning CSS so getting back into it. Thank you for your reply.

Did you have any luck since yesterday? And do you think Flexbox was the answer? Since none of the pros are answering here I'd recommend trying one of the web dev subreddits on reddit. You always get a quick answer there as it's more populated.

3,346 PointsIn terms of positioning items, flexbox is the best thing you could do. It is a good idea that you study it, it's really simple and you could position flex items without any effort. You'll need to review Gui's css flexbox layout course to pull it off but the property you need to align those elements is justify-content: center; But before doing so, you must convert the div that has those items into a flex container. Check Gui's course, it's amazing and he does an outstanding job explaining it. Here is a link to the course: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/css-flexbox-layout

Thank you for the response it is much appreciated.. I had to have the small project done by the deadline which was this morning..
I managed to get the whole thing to meet a majority of the criteria, apart from the bit I was stuck on but I did the best I could. If It wasn't 100% then I know what I need to work on.
Thank you all for your responses. This community Rocks
Cheers

14,941 PointsYou're welcome, Daniel. Just out of curiosity, what was the solution or method you used to solve the problem in the end?

14,582 PointsI used a Flexbox to get a similar sort of area to what the project asked for. It was not exactly like the diagram, but I gave it a shot haha.
