Logo above Navbar - html

Question

i am curios on how i would get a logo above the Navbar
Like this:
I am not really sure how i can achieve this, i basically want the navbar to not be at the very top, but have the logo-top at the top of the site, then have the Navbar centered on the Logo, while the Logo is above the Navbar, so basically a part of the Navbar should be hidden behind it, and then align the buttons left and right of it
body {
margin: 0;
font-size: 28px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.navbar {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: grey;
}
.navbar a {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.dropdown {
display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown .dropbtn {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: white;
padding: 14px 16px;
background-color: inherit;
font-family: inherit;
margin: 0;
}
.navbar a:hover, .dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
background-color: red;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
.dropdown-content a {
float: none;
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
text-align: left;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
.content {
padding: 16px;
}
.sticky {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.sticky + .content {
padding-top: 60px;
}
.logo {
width: 10% !important;
height: 10% !important;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -50px !important; /* 50% of your logo width */

Answer 1

You could use flex box model and play around with the negative margin on the logo (I use .middle-logo class in here as an example):
body {
margin: 0;
font-size: 28px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.navbar {
background-color: grey;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.navbar a {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.dropdown {
display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown .dropbtn {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: white;
padding: 14px 16px;
background-color: inherit;
font-family: inherit;
margin: 0;
}
.navbar a:hover,
.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
background-color: red;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
.dropdown-content a {
float: none;
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
text-align: left;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
.content {
padding: 16px;
}
.sticky {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.sticky+.content {
padding-top: 60px;
}
.logo {
width: 10% !important;
height: 10% !important;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -50px !important;
/* 50% of your logo width */
display: block;
}
.middle-logo {
height: 66px;
margin-top: -10px;
margin-bottom: -10px;
display: inline-block;
width: 66px;
}

I used a random width/height here though, but the important part here is to use that negative margin, you could just adjust it according to your need

Answer 2

You can change the layer of your image/logo with z-index in css
