I am attempting to create a horizontal menu navigation system. I have multiple links in the navigation, and my goal is to evenly space them horizontally.
Is there a way to achieve uniform spacing between links in a horizontal menu?
HTML:
<div id="header">
<div class="secondary-navigation">
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement">
<nav id="navigation">
<ul id="menu-main" class="menu">
<li class="menu-item"><a href="" title="Link" itemprop="url">Link</a></li>
<li class="menu-item"><a href="" title="Link" itemprop="url">Link</a></li>
<li class="menu-item"><a href="" title="Link" itemprop="url">Link</a></li>
<li class="menu-item"><a href="" title="Link" itemprop="url">Link</a></li>
<li class="menu-item"><a href="" title="Link" itemprop="url">Link</a></li>
<li class="menu-item"><a href="" title="Link" itemprop="url">Link</a></li>
<li class="menu-item"><a href="" title="Link" itemprop="url">Link</a></li>
<li class="menu-item"><a href="" title="Link" itemprop="url">Link</a></li>
</ul>
<a href="#" id="pull">Menu</a>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#header {
position: relative;
float: left;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
clear: both;
}

I experimented with a method similar to this example, but it did not yield the desired result for me.
