Stretch horizontal ul to fit width of div

Question

For the main nav of my site, there is a 980px wide div with a ul for the main nav links. I am trying to make the nav links stretch to fit the width of the div evenly.

Answer 1

This is the easiest way to do it: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/jwJBd/

(or with table-layout: fixed for even width distribution: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/jwJBd/59/)

This won't work in IE7.

#horizontal-style {
    display: table;
    width: 100%;
    /*table-layout: fixed;*/
}
#horizontal-style li {
    display: table-cell;
}
#horizontal-style a {
    display: block;
    border: 1px solid red;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 0 5px;
    background: #999;
}
