I would like to use the full width of the UL-element for the floated LI-elements. Is this somehow possible with using %-values for the padding of the LI-elements? I can't use a fixed width for the LIs, since the content is not the same lenght.
This is my HTML code:
<ul>
<li>January</li>
<li>February</li>
<li>March</li>
<li>April</li>
<li>May</li>
<li>June</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
And here comes my CSS:
ul {
overflow: auto;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 600px;
background-color: blue;
}
li {
float: left;
padding-left: 3%;
padding-right: 3%;
background-color: #dd0000;
border-left: 1px solid #ffffff;
}
li:hover {
background-color: #ff0000;
}
Find the example at JsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6Uy4y/ So the red LI-elements should end, where the blue UL ends, even when changing the width of the UL.
Thanks for pointing me into the right direction!
