Hi I have a dropdown button that when you hover it, it drops down some links to pages. I want those links to be the same size as the width of the button.
The button size is 100% width of the content, so it varies. How do I make the size of the drop down items the same size as the button with CSS?
<style type="text/css">
#button { /* Box in the button */
display: block;
width: 190px;
}
#button a {
text-decoration: none; /* Remove the underline from the links. */
}
ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
overflow:hidden;
}
li{
float:left;
list-style-type: none;
}
#button ul {
list-style-type: none; /* Remove the bullets from the list */
}
#button .top {
display:block;
width:100%;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#98bf21;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase; /* The button background */
}
#button ul li.item {
display: none; /* By default, do not display the items (which contains the links) */
}
#button ul:hover .item { /* When the user hovers over the button (or any of the links) */
display: block;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #6CC417;
}
a:link,a:visited
{
display:block;
width:120px;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#98bf21;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
a:hover,a:active
{
background-color:#7A991A;
}
.container
{
text-align:center;
}
.center_div
{
border:1px solid gray;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:90%;
background-color:#d0f0f6;
text-align:left;
padding:8px;
}
</style>
