Menu
I created a horizontal navigation (menu) bar for my site. When I re-size my window to a size smaller than that of the bar, the menu items get wrapped. I want the menu to remain intact (that is, it should remain horizontal) irrespective of the size of window as it usually can be seen in sites such as Google. I tried various ways posted on various forums including this one but nothing worked for me. Below I have pasted my CSS code for the menu.
CSS CODE:
#cssmenu ul { margin: 0; padding: 0;}
#cssmenu li { margin: 0; padding: 0;}
#cssmenu a { margin: 0; padding: 0;}
#cssmenu ul {list-style: none;}
#cssmenu a {text-decoration: none;}
#cssmenu {height: 70px; background-color: #6699CC; box-shadow: 0px 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.4); }
#cssmenu > ul > li {
float: left;
margin-left: 30px;
position: relative;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 70px;
padding: 15px 20px;
-webkit-transition: color .15s;
-moz-transition: color .15s;
-o-transition: color .15s;
transition: color .15s;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a:hover {color: #00FF00; }
body.home li.home, body.tech li.tech {font-weight:bold; }
#cssmenu > ul > li > ul {
opacity: 0;
visibility: hidden;
padding: 16px 0 20px 0;

}
#cssmenu > ul > li:hover > ul {

#cssmenu > ul > li > ul:before{

#cssmenu ul ul > li:hover > ul { opacity: 1; left: 196px; visibility: visible;}

When you don't know the width because the links can differ in width you could use display: inline-block on the list item <li> and white-space:nowrap on the list itself <ul>

You should set a min-width for #cssmenu > ul, one that allows all your menu items to fit.
