ddsmoothmenu smoothmenu horizontal spacing
westwm May 31, 2013 9:28 AMhi guys wonder if someone has some experience with ddsmoothmenu found here:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/ddsmoothmenu.htm
i cant seem to get my menu items to fill a horizontal space evenly and wonder if there is a specific css to 'even out' all the top level menu items?
this is how the menu is rendering itself:
I;d like it to fill the black area on the right and have even or consistent menu spacings for each drop down entry, is this possible?
I have my nav div css declared as:
#nav {
background-color: #666666;
float: left;
height: 60px;
width: 761px;
text-align: center;
}
but am not sure which option in
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ddsmoothmenu.css" />
or
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ddsmoothmenu-v.css" />
would fill out that space nicely?
hope someone can help
thanks!
btw here are the current settings i have for <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ddsmoothmenu.css" /> if anyone needs to take a look
