Evenly space horizontal navigation items

0 Views

I’ve finally gotten my longer nav bar items to all display horizontally instead of stacking vertically, but I cannot get them to space evenly with the shorter items across my container. I’ve tried a number of things I’ve researched to no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks you!

  1. The following should fix your issues:

    Remove the padding-right found in many of your menu items.

    Many of the menu items, specifically the <a> tags, have a padding-right: 23px;

    Make the following change to your CSS:

    .jqueryslidemenu ul li a
{
     width: auto;              
     margin: 0 20px 0 20px;    //Adjust this to fit your needs.
     ...
}

    This would make each item evenly spaced based on the width of the menu items.

    You should be able to use the following script, simply place it in the head section of your page and this should fix your issue:

    <script type='text/javascript'>
    for(i = 0; i < document.getElementsByClassName('menu-item-object-page').length; i++){
    document.getElementsByClassName('menu-item-object-page')[i].firstChild.style.paddingRight = "0px";}
</script>
