Nav in a background color












0















I have a problem regarding my navigation bar. My navigation bar is not in my block‘s background color. I can try position:absolute but it's not recommended.



.transparent{
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
margin-top: 10px;
position: absolute;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
opacity: 1;
}


I am stuck. Can anyone help or have an idea why the code doesn’t work? Please help.

Add class="transparent" to your nav HTML element as well. Or you could just style your nav element in CSS directly like someone else said.



So either:



<nav class="transparent">
<ul>
<li><a class="active" href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About us</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Investement plan</a></li>
<li><a href="#">News</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Faqs</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Rules</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact us</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>


Or:



nav {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 120px;
width: auto;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}

    You didn't apply any background-color to your navbar:



    just do this:



    nav ul li a{
    padding: 10px 14px 10px 14px;
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #f2f2f2;
    text-align: center;
    background-color: gray;
    }


    btw.: there is a mistake in your link as well: it should be: <li><a class="active" href="index.php">Home</a></li>

      Just add class="active" to each of your navigation links like you did on the home link (below):



      <li><a class="active"><href="index.php">Home</a></li>

        Add class="transparent" to your nav HTML element as well. Or you could just style your nav element in CSS directly like someone else said.



        So either:



        <nav class="transparent">
        <ul>
        <li><a class="active" href="index.php">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">About us</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Investement plan</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">News</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Faqs</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Rules</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact us</a></li>
        </ul>
        </nav>


        Or:



        nav {
        padding-top: 10px;
        padding-right: 120px;
        width: auto;
        background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
        }

                You didn't apply any background-color to your navbar:



                just do this:



                nav ul li a{
                padding: 10px 14px 10px 14px;
                text-decoration: none;
                color: #f2f2f2;
                text-align: center;
                background-color: gray;
                }


                btw.: there is a mistake in your link as well: it should be: <li><a class="active" href="index.php">Home</a></li>

                    You didn't apply any background-color to your navbar:



                    just do this:



                    nav ul li a{
                    padding: 10px 14px 10px 14px;
                    text-decoration: none;
                    color: #f2f2f2;
                    text-align: center;
                    background-color: gray;
                    }


                    btw.: there is a mistake in your link as well: it should be: <li><a class="active" href="index.php">Home</a></li>
