Distribute buttons in div evenly

Question

I have the following code (JSFiddle):

HTML:

<div id="content">
  <div id="mainBox" class="textBox">
    <div id="mainMenuBar">
      <button class="jqueryUIButton">New Diagnosis</button>
      <button class="jqueryUIButton">My Diagnosises</button>
      <button class="jqueryUIButton">My Account</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

CSS:

#mainMenuBar {
    background: linear-gradient(to bottom right, #30273a, #8d78a5);
    padding: 5px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0px;
    -moz-border-radius: 0px;
    border-radius: 0px;
    resize: none;
    border:1px solid #30273a;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px #8d78a5;
    border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
}

#content {
    margin: 0 auto;
    margin-top: 100px; // former 250px
    padding: 0;
    width: 750px;
    max-width: 80%;
    padding-bottom: 40px;
    text-align: center;
}

JS:

$( ".jqueryUIButton" ).button();

Now the three buttons are in the horizontal center of the DIV-Box. But I want them evenly distributed over the whole width. How can I do that?

Would love any advice. Thanks!

Answer 1

Simply use the flexbox model:

display: flex;
justify-content: space-around;

You can also use space-between, and play with margins and padding for a fine-tuned look.
