I am using the skeleton framework and am trying make a simple nave bar?
When I try and create a nav-bar div and set the css nav- bar id colour to blue the background won't change. However if i try and change the individual columns the colour will change. Is there a way will a grid framework to create a consistent nav bar on top with out telling each column to be a certain colour. this seems silly. Also is it possible to have a nav bar that extends past the frameworks 960px length? I would like to have the bar background extend to both sides of the screen.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="skeleton.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="normalize.css">
</head>
<div class="container">
<div id="nav-bar">
<div class="two columns">
<h1>DS</h1>
</div>
<div id="nav" class="ten columns">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div><!---nav-bar--->
</div><!---container--->
</html>
CSS:
.container {
margin-top: 50px;
}
#nav-bar {
background-color: blue;
}
#nav {
margin: 13px 0 0 0;
}
#nav ul li {
display: inline;
margin: 0 20px 0 0;
margin-bottom: 130px;
}
#nav a {
text-decoration: none;
color: black
}
#nav a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
the #nav children is floating left that make #nav has no height.
Let append <div style="clear:both"></div> before the closing tag of #nav to make it have height like this fiddle.
