set all nested li's to be width of widest li
- by unhitched
hey,
How do I make nested li's the same width?
When I use the below code each nested li is only as wide as it's text + margin.
I'd like all of the li's to be as wide as the widest li under the parent ul.
eg:
<ul id="menu">
<li <a href="#" title="Menu a">Menu a</a></li>
<li <a href="#" title="Menu b">Menu b</a></li>
<li <a href="#" title="Nested Menu">Nested Menu</a>
<ul>
<li <a href="#" title="Menu Item">Menu Item</li>
<li <a href="#" title="Long Menu Item">Long Menu Item</a></li>
<li <a href="#" title="Longer Menu Item">Longer Menu Item</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li <a href="#" title="Menu z">Menu z</a></li>
</ul>
with css:
<style type="text/css" media="all">
* {
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
body, html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
width: 800px;
height: 100%;
margin: auto;
}
#menu {
margin: 0 0 0 8px;
padding: 0;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
}
#menu ul {
list-style-type:none;
list-style-position:outside;
position:relative;
z-index:300;
height: 32px;
font-weight:bold;
white-space: nowrap;
padding:0;
}
#menu a {text-decoration:none;
line-height: 32px;
}
#menu a:hover {
}
#menu li {
float:left;
position:relative;
display: inline;
height: 100%;
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0 20px;
background: #ccc;
}
#menu ul {
position:absolute;
display:none;
left:0px;
background: #BDCCD4;
width:100%;
}
#menu ul a, #menu li a {
display: block;
}
#menu li ul {
background: #BDCCD4;
display:block;
}
#menu li ul a {
font-weight: normal;
height:auto;
float:left;
}
#menu ul ul {
padding: 0 9px;
display:block;
}
#menu li ul li {
padding: 0 9px;
background: #BDCCD4;
}
#menu li:hover {
background: #ddd;
height: 32px;
}
#menu li li:hover, #menu li li li:hover {
background: #ddd;
height: 32px;
}
#menu li a:link, #menu li a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #003E7E;
margin: auto;
}
