How do I make navigation pan across the whole with of the container? If I have only 4 links across the with of 1000px.
It seems to work with the code below but its not 100%, I have only adjusted the padding for the links and is leaving some space on the right.
topMenu {
background: red;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
topMenu ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
topMenu ul li {
float: left;
font-size: 1.33em;
list-style: none;
font-family: "Verdana", "Arial", Helvetica, sans-serif;
border-right: 2px solid white;
border-left: 2px solid white;
margin: auto;
padding: 0;
}
topMenu a {
background: #000;
font-size: 12px;
color: #fff;
display: block;
float: right;
margin: 0;
padding: 8px 107px 8px 106px;
