I am using a Navigation design from the site – CSSDECK.

I have done some modification and this is my code.

DOUBTS:

  1. Why #siteNav and #siteNav ul not wrapping around lis. I have used height:auto in #siteNav and #siteNav ul. What I know is auto means browser will decide the height accordingly. But this isn’t happening. WHY?
  2. If I do overflow:auto or hidden in any of #siteNav or #siteNav ul. Then that block wrap itself around the lis. Why using overflow doing this?

    This is because your lis are floated. When you don’t have overflow: hidden;, then the lis are in a different context than the ul, so the ul doesn’t wrap around them.

    overflow: hidden; is a generic, known fix for containers to resize to fit their floated contents, but there are other methods — for an extensive reference, see this.
