Body
Basically, I have this website: <a href="http://www.ug.it.usyd.edu.au/~sgre9702/week3/dropDownMenu/semantics.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ug.it.usyd.edu.au/~sgre9702/week3/dropDownMenu/semantics.html</a> I want to centre the drop-down list items on the nav-bar, I know I can centre it with: <pre><code>left:-11px; </code></pre> However, I don't want to use a value I have calculated. Instead I would like it to automatically centre, taking the margin/padding values into consideration. I don't know if this is possible after googling around a bit. My related HTML code is: <pre><code><nav> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="">Tours</a> <ul> <li><a href="">New South Wales</a> <li><a href="">Australian Capital Territory</a> <li><a href="">Queensland</a> <li><a href="">Western Australia</a> <li><a href="">Northen Territory</a> <li><a href="">Tasmania</a> <li><a href="">South Australia</a> <li><a href="">Victoria</a> </ul> <li><a href="">Attractions</a> <li><a href="">Food</a> <li><a href="">Resources</a> <li><a href="">About</a> <li><a href="">Contact</a> <ul> <li><a href="">Online</a> <li><a href="">Phone</a> <li><a href="">Facimile</a> </ul> </ul> </nav> </code></pre> The related CSS: <pre><code>/* general nav list */ nav ul li { background-color: #EEEEEE; border-color: #000000; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; display: inline-block; margin: 0px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative; text-align: center; width: 120px; } /* nav sub list */ nav ul li ul { display: none; } /* nav sub list shown */ nav ul li:hover ul { display: block; width: 142px; position: absolute; list-style-type: none; } /* nav sub list shown - list item */ nav ul li:hover ul li { display:block; background-color: #AACCFF; border: solid 1px #000000; position: relative; /*left:-11px;*/ } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
