So, I'm trying to code a web page...
I ran into an issue with trying to put a button w/ a drop-down menu into a horizontal list (I used the code from W3schools.com)
I had this, and the button extended across the whole bar:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
    background-color: #0D0DFF
}
ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0; 
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: #333;
}

li {
    float: left;
    border-right:1px solid #bbb;
}

li:last-child {
    border-right: none;
}

li a {
    display: block;
    color: white;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 14px 16px;
    text-decoration: none;
}

li a:hover:not(.active) {
    background-color: #111;
}

.active {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
}
</style>
<style>
.dropbtn {
  background-color: #4CAF50;
  color: white;
  padding: 16px;
  font-size: 16px;
  border: none;
}

.dropdown-content {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  min-width: 160px;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index: 1;
}

.dropdown-content a {
  color: black;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}

.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #ddd;}

.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {display: block;}

.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {background-color: #3e8e41;}
</style>

<ul>

  <li><a class="active" href="index.htm">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="content/store.htm">Shop</a></li>
  <li style="float:right"><a href="content/about.htm">About</a></li>
  <li style="float:right"><a href="content/help.htm">Help</a></li>

  <div class="dropdown">
  <button class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
  <div class="dropdown-content">
    <a href="#">Link 1</a>
    <a href="#">Link 2</a>
    <a href="#">Link 3</a>
  </div>
</div>

</ul>
</head>
</html>

How can I make the button have the right "hitbox" size?
