I have a navigation dropdown menu within a container. The HTML and CSS code provided is meant to display a language dropdown menu. However, I’m experiencing issues where the container’s width doesn’t adjust according to the length of the longest text inside it. I want to ensure that the container is always at least as wide as the longest text and that the entire text is visible. How can I achieve this with the given code?
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-family: monospace;
}
.language {
list-style: none;
background: #22438C;
display:inline-block;
}
.container {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
a {
display: block;
padding: 20px 25px;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 20px;
}
ul.dropdown li {
display: block;
}
ul.dropdown {
width: 100%;
background: #22438C;
position: absolute;
z-index: 999;
display: none;
}
.dropdown a:hover {
background: #112C66;
}
.container:hover ul.dropdown {
display: block;
}<div class="container">
<ul>
<li>
<a class="language" href="#">EN ▾</a>
<ul class="dropdown">
<li><a href="#">English</a></li>
<li><a href="#">German</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
