Why Justify-content not working in nav-bar in html css-CodePudding

I am creating a project in HTML,CSS & Flask. Whenever I check my nav bar in the live server 'justify content' is not working, I try to figure out via fixing the sizing of ul & li elements and I give main container 100% width but this way is also not working! How can I solve and avoid these mistakes when we are using justify-content and also give some tips for using justify-content?

Because you add <hr> tag inside <nav >. so move it outside <nav > then it works.

CodePudding user response：

Use the text-align:

text-align: center;

CodePudding user response：

You placed a extra hr inside .navbar. I removed it. You have a border-bottom for .navbar so you don't need to hr. Also, justify-items isn't a correct style.
