Hi everyone. Hope you are all keeping well.
I have exhausted myself trying to figure this out. Yotube+google did not help so turning to you guys/girls.
I am trying to center a spry menu on my page and at the same time keep it fluid but cannot seem to do it. I am using dreamweaver. Oh, i could actually center it but it was not responsive. ie, it did not resize when the browser was resized once i defined width in pixels. This is my first attempt at building a website using percentages%. I have failed at the first hurdle really and am frustrated to the point where i think i am soon going to hurt myself
here is the html:
