Infinite strech nav bar

Get Started

Hello,

I’m wondering how to make my nav bar strech infinitely across this webpage, http://ampvibe.blogspot.com.

Here is the CSS I am working with for that specific div:

#cssmenu ul {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
#cssmenu li {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
#cssmenu a {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
#cssmenu ul {
  list-style: none;
}
#cssmenu a {
  text-decoration: none;
}
#cssmenu {
float: left;
  height: 30px;
  background-color: #303030;
  box-shadow: 0px 2px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
  width: 100%;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li {
  float: left;
  margin-left: 15px;
  position: relative;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a {
  color: #a0a0a0;
  font-family: Verdana, 'Lucida Grande';
  font-size: 14px;
  line-height: 30px;
  padding: 15px 20px;
  -webkit-transition: color .15s;
  -moz-transition: color .15s;
  -o-transition: color .15s;
  transition: color .15s;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a:hover {
  color: #a729d9;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > ul {
  opacity: 0;
  visibility:hidden;
  padding: 16px 0 20px 0;
  background-color: #fafafa;
  text-align: left;
  position: absolute;
  top: 55px;
  left: 50%;
  margin-left: -90px;
  width: 180px;
  -webkit-transition: all .3s .1s;

Hi Jmatty. You could keeps things simple and just do this:

.tabs-outer {overflow:hidden; background: #303030;}

Hey Ralph.m,

Thanks for replying! However, when I place that code in it completely takes away my nav bar making it transparent. I want the grey bar to be infinitely stretched across the window while keeping the content of the navigations centered within the widths of my blog.

That code should do that. Try it at the end of your style sheet to start with. There may be other things you need to remove to avoid overrides, but it works for me when I stick it in. Place it in there and we can see what’s overriding it. Make sure to refresh your browser a few times after uploading the new code, too.

I guess you also have to adapt the width of the Facebook-span and the FB-iframe.
They are now 450px, overflowing the page width, and they cause the horizontal scrollbar. With Ralph’s navbar code the navbar is ending at 100% of the screen width, normally exactly what you need, but in this case the right side of the navbar(color) doesn’t show above the 100% if you scroll to the right.
Solution is: a smaller width of the FB-stuff; if I give it a width of 350px, no scrollbar appears and everything is fine.
