  • How can i align my dynamic links in center of navigation menu

    The Headings of my linked pages are towards left of navigation bar i want the titles in the center.
  • in your css drop the float: left;
    ul.topnav li a{
    padding: 10px 5px;
    color: #fff;
    display: block;
    text-decoration: none;
    float: left;
    }



  • ...and also the display:block;
