  1. POCan't get the menu bar to scale to screen size
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to scale a menu bar according to screen size. I've tried <code>float</code>, <code>@media</code> etc. but it hasn't worked properly. Full screen on my 13' looks great. However, as soon as I scale it down, the menu bar shifts to the right, but the page elements are fine. Menu is at the bottom <code>#navsite</code>. </p> <p>CSS</p> <pre class="lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>* { margin:0; padding:0; } html{ min-width:770px; } body{ background:white url(candy/background.png) 0 0 repeat; text-align:center; } /*=====[ Set up container divs and add background tiles ]=====*/ #pageheadContainer, #contentContainer, #footContainer{ width:100%; } #pageheadContainer{ background:transparent url(candy/pageheadBackground.png) 0 100% repeat-x; } #contentContainer{ background:#F7F7F7 url(candy/contentBackground2.png) 50% 100% repeat-y; float:left; } #footContainer{ background:transparent url(candy/footBackground.png) 0 0 repeat-x; clear:both; } #pagehead, #content, #foot{ width:770px; margin:0 auto; position:relative; text-align:left; } #pagehead{ height:130px; } #foot{ height:150px; } #pagehead{ background:transparent url(candy/pageheadBackground2.png) 0 100% no-repeat; } #content{ background:transparent url(candy/contentBackground.png) 0 0 no-repeat; min-height:300px; _height:300px; } #foot{ background:transparent url(candy/footBackground2.png) 100% 0 repeat-x; } #article{ width:450px; float:left; padding:40px 0 20px 0; margin-left:25px; } #subContent{ display:inline; width:180px; float:left; padding:25px 0 20px 0; margin-left:30px; color:#8B725A; font-size:.9em; } #foot ul{ position:absolute; top:45px; } #foot li{ list-style-type:none; } #foot #foot1{ width:200px; position:absolute; left:300px; } #foot #foot2{ width:200px; position:absolute; left:570px; } #foot #pageTop{ position:absolute; left:482px; top:-40px; } #foot #pageTop a{ display:block; width:26px; height:26px; text-indent:-9999px; text-decoration:none; background:transparent url(candy/pageTop.png) 0 0 no-repeat; float:left; } body{ font:normal 62.5%/1.8em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } #content ul{ margin:0.8em 0 0.6em 1em; padding-left:1em; list-style-type:square; } ol{ margin:0.8em 0 0.6em 2em; padding-left:1em; list-style-type:lower-roman; } blockquote{ margin:0.8em 0 0.6em 1em; padding-left:1em; font-style:italic; border-left:4px solid #E2D7CF; } img{ padding:2px; border:1px solid #F2F2F2; } #content{ font-size:1.25em; } p{ margin:0.3em 0 0.6em 0; } a{ color:#9D6141; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none; } a:hover{ background:#9D6141; color:#FFE; } #article{ line-height:1.7em; color:#635141; } h1, h2, h3, h4{ font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; } h2{ color:#98533B; margin-bottom:.5em; line-height:1.7em; font-size:1.7em; } h3{ margin:0.8em 0 0.6em 0; font-size:1.3em; } h4{ margin:0.8em 0 0.6em 0; font-size:1.1em; } #subContent h2{ font-size:1.3em; } #subContent h3{ font-size:1.1em; } /* menu navigation */ .navsite {width: 845px; height: 35px; z-index: 100; margin-bottom: 3px; margin-left: 155px;} /* menu bar */ #headermenu {width: 800px; height: 35px; z-index: 100; position: absolute} #headermenu ul { text-align: center; list-style: none; line-height: 20px; font-size: small; } #headermenu a { display: block; width: 8em; color: white; text-decoration: none; padding: 0.3em; white-space: nowrap; } #headermenu li { float: left; padding: 0; width: 8em; background-color: #B67357; /* medium brown */ } #headermenu li ul { /* second level lists */ position: absolute; z-index:500; left: -999em; height: auto; width: 8em; border-width: 0.25em; margin: 0; } #headermenu li:hover ul, #nav li.shfhover ul { left: auto; z-index:100; } #content { clear: left; color: #ccc; } @media screen and (max-width: 770px) { #headermenu { width:770px; margin:0 auto; position:relative; text-align:left;} } </code></pre>
