Next the nested inner element is reversed and a relative position of +50% is applied. This has the effect of placing the element dead in the center. Relative positioning maintains the flow and allows other content to flow underneath.</p> </blockquote> <h2>Code</h2> <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="false" data-babel="false"> <div class="snippet-code"> <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>#buttons{ float:right; position:relative; left:-50%; text-align:left; } #buttons ul{ list-style:none; position:relative; left:50%; } #buttons li{float:left;position:relative;}/* ie needs position:relative here*/ #buttons a{ text-decoration:none; margin:10px; background:red; float:left; border:2px outset blue; color:#fff; padding:2px 5px; text-align:center; white-space:nowrap; } #buttons a:hover{ border:2px inset blue;color:red;background:#f2f2f2;} #content{overflow:hidden}/* hide horizontal scrollbar*/</code></pre> <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code><div id="buttons"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Button 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Button 2's a bit longer</a></li> <li><a href="#">Butt 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Button 4</a></li> </ul> </div></code></pre> </div> </div> </p>
