I am working on a new wordpress site website and running into a CSS problem with the dropdown menus. Currently they are left-aligned to the main menu or parent menu item. My preference is for them to be centered on the main menu or parent menu item.
Here is a link to the site in development: http://centraltexasdistrict.com/welcome/
Here is a link to an image, which gives an idea of what I'm looking for or trying to achieve: http://centraltexasdistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/CTD-menu.jpg
Here is the current css I'm working with:
.menu-main-container {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 690px;
padding: 0 0 0 20px;
height: 35px;
z-index: 10;
line-height: 35px;
}
.menu-main-menu-container ul li ul{ text-align:center; }
.main-navigation {
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1080px;
min-height: 36px;
position: relative;
}
#navbar {
display: block;
height: 36px;
width: 100%;
margin-top: -27px;
z-index: 10;
position: absolute;
}
#site-navigation {
padding: 0px;
height: 30px;
z-index: 10;
line-height: 30px;
float: left;
}
ul.nav-menu,
div.nav-menu > ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0px;
}
.nav-menu li {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
.nav-menu li a {
display: block;

A quick solution could be to give the submenu a specified width:
ul.nav-menu li:hover > ul, .nav-menu ul li:hover > ul, ul.nav-menu .focus > ul, .nav-menu .focus > ul {
clip: inherit;
overflow: inherit;
height: inherit;
width: 200px; /* width for the submenu */
left: 50%; /* position it 50% to the left */
margin-left: -100px; /* negative margin half of with to center it */
}
Or use translate if you dont want to have a specified width (not for all old browsers and you may need some prefixes):
ul.nav-menu li:hover > ul, .nav-menu ul li:hover > ul, ul.nav-menu .focus > ul, .nav-menu .focus > ul {
clip: inherit;
overflow: inherit;
height: inherit;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
left: 50%;
}
