Underline on nav menu item extends beyond text. How can I fix this?

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

So I have added an underline to the active nav bar item using the follow code -

.Header-nav-item--active {
    border-bottom: 1.5px
      solid #a96628;
}

The result is almost right, however the line overshoots the text slightly. This seems to be because the text has some kind of padding to the right and so the underline extends all the way to there ( see images below). Any ideas how I might eliminate this so that the underline is exactly the same width as the text? (This is using a Brine template in 7.0)

Thanks in advance!

You can use this new code to add underline on active items

a.Header-nav-item.Header-nav-item--active:after {
    content: "";
    background-color: #a96628;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    width: 90%;
    bottom: 0;
    height: 1.5px;
}
a.Header-nav-item.Header-nav-item--active {
    position: relative;
}
