Create navigation menus with html and css

How to create basic navigation menus using html and css?

Navigation Bar is very important for any website especially for the web designer how it looks the website is. However, simple html code cannot provide beautiful navigation bars without the help of Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). With that, a tedious html code can transform into attractive or good looking and easy-to-use navigation menus. Exploring CSS can help a lot in designing a website, the position of text, alignment, border, color, images, etc. Unfortunately, avoid using excessive CSS because there are other browsers does not support the compatibility features of CSS.

Now, navigation bar needs standard HTML syntax.

<html>
    <head>
                <title></title>
                <link rel=StyleSheet href=”navStyleSheet.css” type=”text/css” media=screen>
    </head>
         <body>
                <div id=”navStyleSheet-menu”>
                         <ul>
                                    <li><a href=”#”>Home</a></li>
                                    <li><a href=”#”>Product</a></li>
                                    <li><a href=”#”>Service</a></li>
                                    <li><a href=”#”>About</a></li>
</ul>
                </div>
        </body>
</html>

When you noticed between the opening and closing tag of head, there’s include <link rel=StyleSheet href=”navStyleSheet.css” type=”text/css” media=screen> because we import CSS from external source into our HTML tag in order to use CSS script to control our navigation menus.
Fig. 1
Above is the sample output html code, its very simple. Now, we are going to put some CSS script so that it looks well.
Fig. 2
#navigation-menu{
    float:left;
    background-color:#333;
}

That’s how it looks when it put css script. Don’t worry, that’s not the end with our tutorials, lets work further.
Fig. 3
#navigation-menu ul{
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;   
}
when you saved and press F5, it looks like sample shown in figure 3.


Fig. 4
#navigation-menu ul li{
    list-style-type:none;
    display:inline;
}
We now created simple navigation bar, when you notice the id navigational-menu ul li, because of the css script list-style:none we omit bullets in every list item and it diplay inline. If you change it inline into block, it returns to the normal view like in figure 3.

Fig. 5
#navigation-menu ul li a{
    display:block;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    float:left;
    color:#fff;
    text-decoration:none;
    border-right: 1px #fff dotted;
}

At the beginning, we created a non – sense navigation bar. Now, noticed how powerful CSS? It is more appreciatable and it looks beautiful when they applied. That’s the essence of CSS!
