Help centering a nav bar

[Andy Temple]

I have only basic HTML knowledge and virtually no CSS knowledge. I have got a template for a simple nav bar to use on a website I manage but I cannot get the navbar to centre on the page. Any help please.

This is what I have so far.

ul {list-style: none;padding: 0px;margin: 0px;}
ul li {display: block;position: relative;float: left;border:1px solid #000}
li ul {display: none;}
ul li a {display: block;background: #000;padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;text-decoration: none;
white-space: nowrap;color: #fff;}
ul li a:hover {background: #f00;}
li:hover ul {display: block; position: absolute;}
li:hover li {float: none;}
li:hover a {background: #f00;}
li:hover li a:hover {background: #000;}
#drop-nav li ul li {border-top: 0px;}

Please provide a minimal demo in Codepen.io which demonstrates the issue rather than a randome piece of CSS.

But the first thing to do is remove float: left from the li and perhaps add text-align:center to the ul.

Hello

Not sure exactly what I need to do I have had a go link below – obviously it is not quite right but I just want to centre the image horizontally on the image below it.

Frankly, the HTML is a mess of obsolete elements (font) and inline attributes (align) which need to be stripped out.

In addition, it looks like the HTML is structured incorrecttly for a menu/submenu option.

Removing the incorrect structure and adjusting a couple of other things can get you started
