I am attempting to have a horizontal navbar, containing three equally sized nav-pills.
When I drop down to a smaller screen resolution (iphone 5) the third item always drops to a new line, and grows to full width.
How do I achieve a single line horizontal layout for all reasonable resolutions?
It does work when I set the py-1 class to py-0 but I like the look of extra padding.
<div class="container-fluid">
<section class="container py-1">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12 align-content-center">
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-fill navtop">
<li class="nav-item px-1 ">
<a class="nav-link active " href="https://example.com/home">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item px-1 ">
<a class="nav-link active " href="https://example.com/meetings">Meetings</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item px-1 ">
<a class="nav-link active " href="https://example.com/courses">Courses</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

</section>

It seems you have a number of extra containers (which you don't need) -
I removed the containers and added extra CSS for the padding (you can remove it/adjust it if you wish)
Updated
I also reduced the container's left/right padding (from 15px to 5px) to make room for the pills in iPhone 5/SE resolutions as per OP's comment - see image below
See demo below
/* this gives you extra padding on the right-left of each menu item */
.nav-pills li.nav-item {
padding: 0 2px;
}
.container-fluid {
padding-right: 5px !important;
padding-left: 5px !important;
}

So trying to achieve responsive collapsible navigation with two rows, where first includes logo and language select and second row main links:
| |
| LOGO lang |
| link1 link2 link3 link4 |
jsfiddle snippet of progress so far
Cant get equal width for the main links, so that are distributed horizontally evenly on lg viewport and above. With the structure and classes am using links are stacked very tight.
Second row navigation:
<ul class="navbar-nav nav nav-pills nav-justified">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" data-toggle="dropdown">
Categories
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<a class="dropdown-item">Cat 1</a>
<a class="dropdown-item">Cat 2</a>
<a class="dropdown-item">Cat 3</a>
<a class="dropdown-item">Cat 4</a>
</div>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Live Auction</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Contact us</a>
</li>
</ul>
Any ideas how to override classes or other solution? Thanks!
Specify the initial size of your flex items (li) to match content by changing the flex-basis from 0 to auto -- you can enable in Bootstrap 4 by using the flex-fill class. Add it to your HTML:
<li class="nav-item flex-fill">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Live Auction</a>
</li>
Or add the property in your CSS:
.nav-justified li.nav-item {
/* ... */
flex-basis: auto;
}
Fiddle example: https://jsfiddle.net/wcj1gzr5/1/
To distribute flex items with an effect like justify-content: space-between the width of the div and ul which contain the flex items should expand their width (giving available space to distribute flex items). To do this, set min-width: 100%; on both elements to have them fill their containing element and then use justify-content on the ul to control spacing & positioning.
Fiddle example: https://jsfiddle.net/wcj1gzr5/2/
You can do this by adding width:100% to .navbar-collapse, .nav-pills. Below is the snippet for the same

I'm using bootstrap 4.1 navbar here. I want my div "#pin_to_top" to be always at the top of the navbar. So that on wider screens it is
Logo - Menu - "#pin_to_top" (all on the same row)
and on smaller devices it is like
Logo - "#pin_to_top#
Menu (menu is under my logo and div)
Also any other piece of advice about my code would be much appreciated :)
.navbar-brand img {

Bootstrap 4 includes a fixed-top class to solve your problem. ;)
you should give position fix to your class and give this top:0;
use position absolute for parent and add some css for a good design on small screen
#include media-breakpoint-up(md) {
div#pin_to_top {
position: absolute;
left: auto;
right: 0px;
}
}
Below is my Bootstrap 4 navbar code in which I'm trying to create a right side navbar height to full 100%.
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-sm bg-light navbar-light"
style="width: 200px; float: right;">
<ul class="nav flex-column">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Sports</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Facebook</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Youtube</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
I have also tried height: 100%; , navbar-full to the <nav> but it's not effecting any more.
See the image:
I would probably not rely on Bootstrap's built-in Navbar component for this, because it's really designed around a horizontal layout structure and you're going to spend a lot of unnecessary time writing CSS to override that or applying additional class declarations to override that behavior.
If you omit that component though you can achieve very similar results with minimum effort:
.navbar-right {
height: 100vh;
right: 0;
position: absolute;
}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-WskhaSGFgHYWDcbwN70/dfYBj47jz9qbsMId/iRN3ewGhXQFZCSftd1LZCfmhktB" crossorigin="anonymous">
<nav class="navbar-right bg-light p-3">
<ul class="nav flex-column">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
position:absolute pulls your nav out of the normal document flow, allowing you to position it wherever (right:0 moves it to the right of the browser window). The height is set to 100vh which is 100% of the viewport height.
Now this is a pretty bare-bones example. You would likely want to apply specific widths, particularly with consideration to key breakpoints. But it should get you down the right path.
I would prefer that all my menu items remain visible at all times, and simply switch from a centered row formation into a centered column when the screen size is too small.
<div style="position: sticky; top: 0px;">
<!--<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar9">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button> this is the fricking collapse button -->
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbar10">
<ul class="navbar-nav nav-fill w-100">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">aaa</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">bbb</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">ccc</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">ddd</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">eee</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">ffff</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
You can use the regular bootsrap class used to build your layout and drop the collapsing navbar classes: see https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/flex/
Flex
Quickly manage the layout, alignment, and sizing of grid columns, navigation, components, and more with a full suite of responsive flexbox utilities. For more complex implementations, custom CSS may be necessary.
example with :flex-md-row class (play snippet in fullpage and resize windows to see it toggling row/column. You can try also flex-lg-row if you think it turns into column too late.
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="navbar " id="navbar10">
<ul class="navbar-nav nav-fill w-100 flex-md-row">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">aaa</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">bbb</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">

</ul>

Using CSS media queries, you can set specific break-points to change your elements. In this example, if the window is less than 480px then we can adjust the width to 100%.
(To see it in action, click run > full page > then resize window)
.navTitle {
width: 20%;
float: left;
background-color: lightGrey;
outline: 1px solid black;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.navTitle {
width: 100%;
}
}
<div class="navTitle">
<p>Section 1</p>
</div>
<div class="navTitle">
<p>Section 2</p>
</div>
<div class="navTitle">
<p>Section 3</p>
</div>
<div class="navTitle">
<p>Section 4</p>
</div>
<div class="navTitle">
<p>Section 5</p>
</div>

Bootstrap align navbar items to the right
(24 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I'm trying to get my nav links to float to the right of my navbar, but I can't get it to work. I've tried using the ".float-right", "float-xs-right", and "justify-content-end" bootstrap 4 class, along with using "float: right !important;" in my CSS file, and it still won't work.
Here is the HTML for the navbar of my website:
<div id="navbar" class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="navbar-brand">
<img src="images/logo.png" width="88px">
Scervino Lawn Service
</div>
<ul class="nav justify-content-end">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="home">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="services">Services</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="about">About Us</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="contact">Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here is the CSS:
#navbar {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 11px #000;
padding: 0;
}
#navbar .navbar-brand {
font-size: 1.6em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #9CCC58;
}
I'm relatively new to the Bootstrap 4 framework, so it's possible that I might just be making a dumb mistake, but hopefully someone can help me. :(
Bootstrap 5 (update 2021)
The Bootstrap 5 Navbar still uses flexbox, but the concept of right and left, have changed to start and end for new RTL support. Therefore, the class names have changed...
float-right --> float-end
float-left --> float-start
ml-* --> ms-*
pl-* --> ps-*
mr-* --> me-*
pr-* --> pe-*
BUT, remember floats don't work with flexbox. The best approach for right alignment in the Navbar is to use ms-auto (margin-left: auto) or justify-content-end.
See this question for details
Bootstrap 4
The original answer no longer works in Bootstrap 4, and it's not good practice to use Bootstrap's .row in the navbar component. The .row should only be used for grid columns.
Now that Bootstrap 4 is flexbox, one way to align navbar components is using the auto-margin utility classes, such as ml-auto which is a shortcut for CSS margin-left:auto. This can be used to push the nav to the right...
https://www.codeply.com/go/ZAGhCX5lpq
<div id="navbar" class="navbar navbar-expand navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-brand">
<img src=".." width="88px">
Scervino Lawn Service
</div>
<ul class="nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="home">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="services">Services</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="about">About Us</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="contact">Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Or the flexbox utils like justify-content-between can be used on the container inside the navbar...
<div id="navbar" class="navbar navbar-expand navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container justify-content-between">
<div class="navbar-brand">
<img src=".." width="88px">
Scervino Lawn Service
</div>
<ul class="nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="home">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="services">Services</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="about">About Us</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="contact">Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Just notice that in this case justify-content-between works because there are only 2 navbar components (navbar-brand and nav).
You can use .justify-content-between on the parent .row to move the flex children to the far edges of the row.
#navbar {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 11px #000;
padding: 0;
}
#navbar .navbar-brand {
font-size: 1.6em;
font-weight: bold;
