favorite












I've created my own take on a navigation bar using FlexBox (currently not refined for smaller screen media queries). I would just like someone to go through my code notes and see if I am going about it correctly.



It seems to work but am I doing this inefficiently? Should i be using other methods? Have I aligned using the best procedures etc?



Ignore the fact I haven't used classes please.






    *{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

body{
background-color: #FFF;
font-size: 1.2em;
}

header{
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 20% 60% 20%; /*used to keep the grey bar along the whole of the top, but keep navigation selection area squashed in slightly*/
width: 100%;
background-color: #A6A6A6;
}

nav{
grid-column: 2;

}

nav ul{
display: flex;
min-width: 500px; /*stops list items overlapping when smaller screen - will later include media query to fix*/
margin: auto;
/*do not use 'justify content' this causes gaps between each list item, and i want seamless link to lin kwhen hovering*/
}

nav ul li{
width: 20%; /*width of each flex item is 20% as there are 5 items*/
text-align: center; /*move text to center of individual list item*/
list-style: none;
}


nav ul li a{
display: block; /*devault is set to inline which does not expand the 'link area' to fill the list element*/
color: #FFF;
padding: 20px; /*this padding changes size of parent list item too*/
text-decoration: none;
border-right: solid #FFF 1px;
}

/* border decoration-------------------------------------*/
nav ul li:hover{
background-color: #767676;
}

nav ul li:first-child{
border-left: solid #FFF 1px;
}
