How to create: Centered top navigation

Create a top navigation bar

Step 1 - Add HTML:

<!-- Top navigation -->
<div class="topnav">
  <!-- Centered link -->
  <div class="topnav-centered">
    <a href="#home" class="active">Home</a>
  </div>
  /* Left-aligned links (default) */
  <a href="#news">News</a>
  <a href="#contact">Contact</a>
  /* Right-aligned links */
  <div class="topnav-right">
    <a href="#search">Search</a>
    <a href="#about">About</a>
  </div>
</div>

Second step - Add CSS:

/* Add black background color to the top navigation */
.topnav {
  position: relative;
  background-color: #333;
  overflow: hidden;
}
/* Set styles for links within the navigation bar */
.topnav a {
  float: left;
  color: #f2f2f2;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 14px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 17px;
}
/* Change link color on mouse hover */
.topnav a:hover {
  background-color: #ddd;
  color: black;
}
/* Add color to active/current link */
.topnav a.active {
  background-color: #04AA6D;
  color: white;
}
/* Centered part within the top navigation */
.topnav-centered a {
  float: none;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
/* Right-aligned part within the top navigation */
.topnav-right {
  float: right;
}
/* Responsive navigation menu - stacks links vertically on mobile devices instead of displaying them side by side */
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .topnav a, .topnav-right {
    float: none;
    display: block;
  }
  .topnav-centered a {
    position: relative;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    transform: none;
  }
}
