Answer 1

you can try it!
if u have
nav ul il {
...
}
make sure that u put it here bc this will directly style the children. but I dont like using ul in nav bars. give them a weird buffer...

Answer 2

try giving the nav bar a specific class name. it might be applying that attribute to all of its children by just using nav.
if thus doesnt work then wrap the children in a div with a class that negates the padding. that would look bad, but might work :/

Answer 3

can i give the children a specific class and give them padding 0 px,will that work.
