30+ “Horizontal” Navigation Menus For Blogger With CSS & HTML Codes



30 High Quality Navigation-Menus Navigation menu or tab menu is the heart of every web page or blog. It provides the path way to all important pages of the website. To create a Navigation menu you must have good knowledge of CSS and HTML. But since more and more designers are sharing their tutorials online, coding has become far easier. I have brought to you a total of 30 High class navigation menus along with their CSS and HTML Codes from across the web. You just need to copy and paste the codes and that’s it!
The Horizontal Navigation Menus below are mostly created by Christopher and Highdots and some by me. I have modified most of the codes in order to make them work in blogger and have also made them pretty easy to be understood by most of you. Further all images are uploaded in my Picasa web album so no effort required on your side.

How To Add These Navigation Menus To Blogger

To add your selected navigation menu to your blogger template follow these steps,
  1. Go To Blogger > Layout
  2. Click Add a Gadget or Add a Page element
  3. Choose HTML/JavaScript widget
  4. Simple Paste the Navigation Menu Code inside HTML/JavaScript widget
  5. Hit Save
  6. Drag HTML/JavaScript widget and drop it just under your Blog Header, as shown below,
Add-Navigation-Menu-In-Blogger
    7.   Finally view your blog to see something hanging below your Blog Header/Logo.
See Live Demo of MBT Navigation Menu #3
To change the links, Edit this part of the HTML in all codes below,
<li><a href="#" ><span>Link 1</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="#" ><span>Link 2</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="#" ><span>Link 3</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="#" ><span>Link 4</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="#" ><span>Link 5</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="#" ><span>Link 6</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="#" ><span>Link 7</span></a></li>
Replace the hash(#) sign with your Page Links /URL and replace Link1, Link2, Link3 etc with your Page Titles. If you wish to add or delete a tab then simply add or delete this line,
<li><a href="#" ><span>Link n</span></a></li>
As a designer I always look for inspiration that can be useful for both my readers and for my designing projects.  I hope the resource below will be of great use to Bloggers from all platforms and to designers. Start choosing your favorite Navigation Menu and do not hesitate to ask me if you needed help in customizing it.

Manisha.Rautela.Bisht on 2:15 PM, January 05, 2010 said... #

Mohd ,How can I change it with my present Tanzanite template ? Do i have to tweak CSS and HTML both ?Simply adding the Html in page element does not help .
thanks.

Anonymous said... #

want to know mohd if we can remove the double navigation and replace it with the above modified navigation in Tanzanite template ?

Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai on 4:23 PM, January 06, 2010 said... #

@Manisha

Well for that you can do this,

1. Backup your template
2. Inside your template search for,

/*-------Navigation Menu---*/

And delete the entire code from /*-------Navigation Menu---*/
to /*----------------SEARCH----------------*/

3. Now copy the css code for your prefered Navigation menu from the above collection and paste it just above


Note:- The CSS Code is between <style> and </style> in the above code collection

4. Now search for this,

<div id='nav'>
<div id='navleft'>
<ul>
<li><a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl'>Home</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sitemap</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page 1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Sub Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Sub Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Sub Page 3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page 3</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page 4</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='#'>Contact</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page 3</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Page 4</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='#'>About</a></li>
<li><a href='http://www.mybloggertricks.com'>Download Tanzanite</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

and replace it with the HTML part of your Navigation code from the collection above. The HTML code starts just after </style>


5. Now search for this and delete it,

<div id='subnavbar'>
<ul id='subnav'>
<li>
<a href='#'>Quick Tour</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href='#'>Other Webs</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href='#'>About</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href='#'>Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

6. Done!



I hope that was clear. Feel free to ask anything unclear Manisha.

Double Thumbs Up, for such an Informative Post

Ms Hetal Patil on 7:25 PM, January 24, 2010 said... #

Hello Mohammad,

I saw your post of vertical navigation menus today, but still i would prefer going with horizontal navigation menus, do let me know how can i use them in MBT Church theme for all my blogs.

Thanks...

mary on 8:50 PM, February 04, 2010 said... #

thank you again for a wonderfull and handy post.

this is my favorite website about tutorials :D

doc rogers on 4:53 PM, February 11, 2010 said... #

brilliant! thankyou for some great menus.

quick question ... on the tab menus they seem to refer to images stored on another site. is it possible to host those myself in photobucket. i did try but it seemd to mes up the menu.

rgds

Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai on 4:38 PM, February 14, 2010 said... #

@doc

Of Course you can do that. But I have saved all images in blogger which means they will load fast and will remain there forever. So dude why take the hectic of saving them on any other server ? =D

I will never recommend Photobucket due to their limited bandwidth!

If you faced an alignment issue then make sure you are using the images in their original size in pixels.

Analyst on 8:49 PM, February 28, 2010 said... #

Why I am seeing arrow marks beside the menu links. However they are not visible in your links. An example can be seen at abc-slider.blogspotdotcom.

BACKPACKERS on 11:12 AM, March 08, 2010 said... #

Hi, i've added such menu but i've got one problem. when the browser is loading the page for first time the menu jumps some 20px down, and then i reload the page and it is in the right position. Any idea what is wrong? Thanks in advance!

Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai on 12:42 AM, March 12, 2010 said... #

@Analyst
Dear you have added it to your right sidebar despite at the top. Your template has bullets customized by default by Arrows. Since the codes do use bullet code therefore arrows are appearing. If you shift it to top, it will look as shown in the demo.
A solution is to find and delete this code,

background-image:url(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vZagjBLs2Ws/SyIYkyOS0oI/AAAAAAAABq8/SyV4NFxw1cQ/s1600/11.png);

Make sure to backup your template.

@Backpackers
Dear share the blog URL where you have applied it. This is happening because your header might not be aligned properly with enough height length.

doc rogers on 12:50 AM, March 15, 2010 said... #

ok getting close to perfection ... i'm using MBT Navigation Menu #1 ... two simple things.

1. what part of the code do i add/change to position the menu further to the left, right, or even centre it?

2. on this menu the far left, thin white border seems to be missing ... http://jashanrestaurant.blogspot.com/

once again top marks ... and very impressed with the fact you seem to answer most of these questions.

Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai on 8:04 PM, March 15, 2010 said... #

@doc rogeres

Apologies brother for a late reply. really sorry! :>

For your first question find edit the code below to align them to right or left,

float:

For your second question Use this code instead,


<style> #navcontainer { float:left; width:100%; background:#666; font: bold 7.5pt Verdana; line-height:normal; border-bottom:1px solid #666; border-top:1px solid #666; } ul#navlist { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; white-space: nowrap; } ul#navlist li { float: left; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 5px 0 4px 0; background-color: #666; border-top: 1px solid #e0ede9; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0ede9; } #navlist a, #navlist a:link { margin: 0; padding: 5px 9px 4px 9px; color: #fff; border-right: 1px solid #d1e3db; text-decoration: none; } ul#navlist li#active { color: #95bbae; background-color: #d1e3db; } #navlist a:hover { color: #fff; background-color: #FE9C54; }
</style>


<div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li><a href="#"><span>Link 1</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>Link 2</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>Link 3</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>Link 4</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>Link 5</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>Link 6</span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span>Link 7</span></a></li> </ul> </div>


Just chill even further now! Enjoy :D

Hi Mohammad! Your page is so useful, thanks for the great post! I really really love Tabs menu #8 but I can't see where I can change the hovering color of the tab?? It is blue right now but I would like to change the color in the HTML code.

Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai on 3:53 PM, March 25, 2010 said... #

@Anonymous

Thanks for the kind remarks bro!
The hovering effect is due to two images which are,

1)
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7wsQzULWIwo/SzvA5iiWmCI/AAAAAAAACv0/4lAk0jar62Q/s1600/tableftF.png

2)

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7wsQzULWIwo/SzvA5jIWoBI/AAAAAAAACv4/1TJsSRUoYes/s1600/tabrightF.png

Simply change the colours of these two images according to your preferences in photoshop and then upload them and replace the current image links with your customized images. That's it! :>

Hi Mohammad,

I always thought creating menus is too difficult so i always used to use someone Else's menu bar...After reading your post,I studied and analyzed your menu bars. Understood the codes.

I have created 4 menu bars in 4 colors(Red,green,blue,black) so it can be used on any blogger theme.

Tell me if you like them and how can i improve... :-)

Your site is great, God bless you.
