I've been working on my navbar and with the help of this site, managed to find out how to center it using text align. However, there is a weird indent that I cannot account for in my navbar as you can see in the example so when I center it, it's taking the indent into consideration too, so it doesn't look right.

How do I remove this indent and have it centered properly? I'm rather new to this, so advice would be great. Many thanks.

You need to change some things.

.nav1
{
    text-align: center;
}

.nav1 ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    display: inline-block;
    overflow: hidden;
}

  • That's great, thank you very much! It was annoying me quite a bit, I spent hours over the last day trying to get it. – Zan87 Mar 07 '14 at 20:26
