Courses Plus Student 2,510 PointsNav element is not centering on page
I'm 2/3 of the way through the front end web track and really enjoying it. I've noticed that my web page is not displaying like Nick's version. The nav links are set to the left when they should be centre page. My CSS for nav is this:
/***************************** NAVIGATION ******************************/ nav { text-align: centre; padding 10px 0; margin: 20px 0 0; }
Should not the text-align be enough to centre the links?

Courses Plus Student 2,510 PointsI just worked out what the problem was, it was a typo
'text-align: centre' should be text-align: center'.
/***************************** NAVIGATION ******************************/ nav { text-align: center; padding 10px 0; margin: 20px 0 0; }

The text-align: centre will cause children of the nav element to be centered but will not centre the nav element itself. Try giving the nave element a width of 100% or changing the margin to margin: 20px auto; .
