Css Navigation Menu Text

I'm new to Stackoverflow, Just want to build simple CSS navigation menu. How can I align these items from left to right and can make sub-items on mouse focus?

<html>

<head>
    <title>Test App</title>
    <style>
    li{
        list-style:none;
    }
    ul{
        background-color: green;
    }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <ul>
        <li>
            George
        </li>

        <li>
            Belly
        </li>

        <li>
            Mac
        </li>
    </ul>
</body>

</html>

You can fix that by changing the display css property of li element.

.nav li {
    display: inline-block;
}

Generally, the display property can have many values - out of which there are mainly 3 values you need to be considered here (and hereafter) to make your life beautiful.

  1. display: inline; : cannot have a width and height set, allows other elements to sit to their left and right.
  2. display: block; : force a line break after the block element
  3. display: inline-block : combination of the above properties.

It is fundamental to undestand the basic difference between these values.
You can see a detailed discussion here.

These are very basic ideas behind CSS, so I will not explain them. Hopefully this starts you off.

.nav {
  list-style-type: none;
}
.nav li {
  display: inline-block;
  height:55px;
  box-sizing:border-box;
  text-align:center;
  line-height:15px;
  padding:20px 10px;
}
.nav li:hover{
  background-color:darkgreen;
  }
<html>

<head>
  <title>Test App</title>
  <style>
    li {
      list-style: none;
    }
    ul {
      background-color: green;
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <ul class="nav">
    <li>
      George
    </li>

    <li>
      Belly
    </li>

    <li>
      Mac
    </li>
  </ul>
</body>

</html>
