HTML:
<ul id="menu">
<li><a href="#">Categories 1</a>
<ul id="cat1">
<li class="first"><a href="#">temp1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">temp2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">temp3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
CSS:
#menu {
background-color: #0000FF;
height: 20px;
padding: 15px 0 10px;
margin: 5px;
font: 12px Tahoma;
font-weight: bold;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 1px;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 10px #000;
text-align: center;
}
#menu > li{
display: inline;
}
li a {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.first{
margin-top: 12px;
}
#cat1 > li{
display: block;
background-color: #0000FF;
width: 150px;
margin-right: auto;
}
#cat1 > li > a{
display: block;
padding: 10px;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 2px #000;
}
When i use margin-left: auto
in #cat > li
it is woring properly. margin-right:auto
on the other hand doesn't get the full margin, and I don't understand why this is.
