Cannot make the logo and text appear in a row on header tag of webpage by applying flex in CSS. My code is along with this post and also attached output on web browser (Chrome) at the end..
Is this problem caused by a mistake in below code. New to webdesign, can anyone find what's wrong with my code. I want to apply flex on <header> tag so that img and <nav> content will be in a row. But that's not happening. See the webpage screenshot at the post end.
.container {
width: 1024px;
min-height: 300px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
header {
background-color: #63BC7D;
min-height: 100px;
display: flex;
}
main {
/*background-color: #179E3F; */
min-height: 300px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
/*justify-content: space-between;*/
}
.cards {
background-color: #AC1149;
min-height: 300px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.card1 {
background-color: #6EB806;
min-height: 300px;
width: 30%;
}
.card2 {
background-color: #36E059;
min-height: 300px;
width: 30%;
}
.card3 {
background-color: #00FF09;
min-height: 300px;
width: 30%;
}
.herobox1 {
flex: 2;
/*background-color: #8D4E85;*/
}
.herobox2 {
/*background-color: #684F96;*/
flex: 1;
}

Wrapping a div around the texts and adding a padding-top seems to resolve it.

Add this code to your CSS code.
Yes, finally with the help from this forum I understand my mistake. As you people said cssreset caused the trouble. I need to first cssReset.css and then my custom styles.css to get the correct effect. Otherwise the effect made using styles.css is overriden by cssReset.css A simple mistakes. Thanks everyone.

I'm new in CSS/HTML and I can't make the design that I want.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/header.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/layout.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="header">
<div class="logo"></div>
<input type="text" class="search-bar" placeholder="Type...">
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
.logo {
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-image: url('../assets/images/logo.jpeg');
background-size: cover;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.search-bar {
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
border: 1px solid gray;
border-radius: 20px;
padding: 10px;
margin: 0 auto;
font-size: 1em;
}
Photo (I would like the logo to be centered, next to the search bar):
Thanks!
You can use display:flex and justify-content: center in your .header div to center the elements in the center; Add a margin-right to the logo to give a space between the logo and search bar
.header {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.logo {
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background: url('https://via.placeholder.com/80') no-repeat;
margin-right: 10px;
}

I'm kinda new to web dev too, but this should work:
.header{
text-align: center;
}
There are many ways to achieve your desired output. One of the ways using flex. You can also have a look at FLEX: A simple visual cheatsheet for flexbox.
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
Click on this CodePen to see the full code.
Besides, you can also have a look at the link below to see the issue & solution visually: StackOverFlow QA - Header in css not as expected
Happy coding :)
The problem was in the
margin: 0 auto;
Hope it helps someone!
I designed this using adobe XD, I am trying to set up a page where I have a picture and a card side by side under a navbar, I've already set up my navbar, but I cant manage to find a helpful answer online as to how I can achieve my goal, any help would be very much appreciated, thank you.
best way to solve this case is using flexbox, here good article to learn about it
first wrap both card and image on the one div with container class
then style the card or image to make it fit like your design
for navbar you can use yours but in my case. position, z-index and inset top is necessary
.navbar {
z-index: 10000;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
width: 100vw;
background-color: white;
}
.navbar ul {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
list-style-type: none;
}
.menus {
display: flex;
margin-right: 50px;
}
.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
margin-top: 70px;
gap: 20px;
}
.card {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: aqua;
}

Theres many ways to achieve this with html/css but the most popular would be using flexBox.
The question is too vague to give a specific answer but i recommend reading up on https://web.dev/learn/css/flexbox/
In my HTML page, I have some social media icons at the top of the page, and a logo that's supposed to be in the middle. But, after I added the icons, they're pushing the logo to the side a bit.
Here's an image of what's happening
The question mark symbol is supposed to be in the middle of the entire page (directly in between the "updates" and "archive" in the nav bar), but it's being pushed off. Is there a way I can make the logo in the center of the entire page?
In my HTML I have:
<img src="https://imgur.com/16OdDvD.png" class="sns-icon" id="ig">
<img src="https://imgur.com/nQ2aUYu.png" class="sns-icon" id="reddit">
<div class="center">
<img src="https://imgur.com/hQRzG5G.png" id="headerlg">
</div>
Then in my styles.css I have:
.center {
text-align: center;
}
#headerlg {
padding-top: 35px;
padding-bottom: 9px;
width: 80px;
position: relative;
}
.sns-icon {
width: 30px;
float: left;
margin-top: 13px;
margin-left: 13px;
padding: 1px;
}
I've also tried justify-content: center and margin: auto both of which didn't work
your source code didn't work for me, but here I write some code like yours, I solve your problem with flex box and add some visual style, I hope it's make sense to you.
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-around;
align-items: center;
}
.container>div {
width: 33%;
height: 20px;
background-color: rgb(216, 216, 216, 0.4);
text-align: center;
}

Now, I want them to go side by side . How?
I'm just a beginner so I can't understand much.
It would be good to get the solution with some explanation
thank you.
I was working on VS Code and using Chrome and Microsoft Edge to run the code
The issue is that the display: flex property ONLY applies to the DIRECT children of the flex container In this case you need to apply display flex- not to the header (which has only one child - but to the container that houses all the otgher parts - and then also to the ul as well to get the li's to be flexed.

display: flex;

nav{
flex-grow: 1;
background-color: aquamarine;;
}
.cart{
background-color: slateblue;

.nav-links {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-around;
list-style: none

There are multiple issues with your code.
First: there is no display: flexbox -> should be display: flex
Also, you should use flex-direction: row to make it work.
But it still not enough because it has to be done on the parent element so you should add those to .logo-container instead of header.
EDIT:
The best way to understand flexbox is definitely https://flexboxfroggy.com/ -> you will get it in no time :-)
add this css
.nav-links{
display:flex;
flex-direction:row;
}
You might need to add margin yourself
I have tried explaining the areas which you could improve to obtain the desired layout. Highlighting some key pointers for better understanding the CSS flexbox behavior:
CSS flexbox behaves as the parent-child relation between items to be kept in flex, when parent element/tag is assigned display: flexit executes the flex behavior on it's direct children and not on the children of children, for that you will need to give display:flex to the child container.
The syntax for executing CSS flexbox on an element is display:flex only, other values shall not work and in some areas throw a syntax error.
The flex-direction concept works like when you need a side-by-side layout horizontally, the value that works is row and when you need a down-by-down layout vertically the value that works is column. Hope this throws a light on the concept of CSS Flexbox!
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body{
font-family: Kufam;
}
header{
/* display: flexbox */ /* syntactical error here display: flex; is the syntax */;
display: flex;
/* flex-direction: column */ /* in order to get a side-by-side layout value for flex-direction is row and if you want to set layout one below the other then it is column */;
flex-direction: row;
/* you could or could not give justify-content attribute as needed */
justify-content: space-between;
width: 90%;
margin: auto;
}

I am terribly sorry guys . It was actually my mistake . The div element which is starting right after the header should have closed after the h4 but I accidently used it to cover the entire header due to which the problem occured .Once again I apologize for wasting your precious time. I AM REALLY SORRY.
I have some simple HTML and CSS written. I'd like to get a list of buttons to the right side of an image.
I've tried using float and display: inline
<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<section class="main">
<div class="container">
<div id="image">
<img src="img/placeholder.png" />
</div>
<div id="controls-container">
<div class="controls">Start</div>
<div class="controls">Right</div>
<div class="controls">Back</div>
<div class="controls">Down</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
<div class="footer-container">
<footer>
<h5>footer</h5>
</footer>
</div>
</body>
</html>
.main{
background: yellow;
}
#image img {
width: 1000px;
height: 600px;
}
#controls-container{
background: pink;
}
.footer-container {
clear: both;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 5em;
margin-bottom: 2em;
}
I've highlighted the container for everything but the footer as yellow. The container holding the buttons are pink. I've done this to help me understand what's happening to the containers as I test things out.
For float, I've tried floating the buttons-container to the right. This results in the buttons going to the right of the page, and it seems to somehow disassociate itself from the main container as it is no longer highlighted in yellow.
I've also tried floating the img to the left. This seems to be the best help so far, except that the yellow background has disappeared. What happened to the rest of my container? I've tried using margin-top to move the buttons down towards the middle of the image but both the image and the button's margins seem to be altered.
Is there a better way to do this? Thank you.
I suggest you use display: flex; to do this. It's much easier to get alignment done with flex This is a sample code.
I have added align-items: flex-start to your controls-container so that it will only take up the space from the top. If you want the container to take the full height along with your image-container feel free to remove that code. Also I have removed your ids and used classes to reference the styles and I would advise you to do the same. Hope it helps you.

The other way around is to use position.I have just tweaked your code, below is the snippet please have a look at it.
.main {
background: yellow;
position: relative
}
#image img {
width: 1000px;
height: 600px;
}
#controls-container {
background: pink;
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
.controls {
display: inline;
}
.footer-container {
clear: both;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 5em;
margin-bottom: 2em;
