Hello, I’m sitting here creating a site with a menu using li, etc I have
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Portfilio</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Hosting</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">JustSomeOtherStuff</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">About us</a></li>
</ul>
as you know the words have different lengths, and I add some padding in the sides of links on 5px, and then some margin between the li’s so the words isn’t standing together… everything works fine…
I create the dropdown so it works… but the width of the dropdown ul - I can set that to etc 160px and the menu will work… but is there any way in css to get the width from the link without I have specified the link width? and then assign it to the sub-uls?
so etc if we say that <a href=“#”>JustSomeOtherStuff</a> was 300pixel wide, then would the sub-ul to that link be the same…
but the problem is that I don’t know what content that is gonna be in the menu… so it should scale dynamically in width, like etc if we say I changed the text from “JustSomeOtherStuff” to “HelloWorld” then the sub-ul would get same width as “HelloWorld” is in width? so I not should sit changing the CSS all the time?
Best regards,
Lucas Rolff
