Responsive Nav Menu Using Flexbox - html

I was attempting to build a responsive nav using flexbox. When the screen is smaller than 744px, I wanted a toggle button to appear, the main nav to have a max-height of 0, and then on click, have the nav display in block. Fairly typical stuff.
However, I'm used to doing this just with floats and I'm running into several problems:
I don't understand how to drop the UL below the nav without pushing the nav logo and toggle up;
The UL with the LI doesn't seem to be responding to the max-height trick.
If anyone can provide some assistance or point me in the direction of tutorial that would be great.

.nav {
position: relative;

display: block;
}
}
}
.x {
position: absolute;
top: 0.75rem;

This solution does require a small amount of JavaScript to toggle the menu.
Hope it helps :-)

How to make a navigation bar with the company logo the centre

Layout of what I'mm trying to achieve
I've done the top half of the nav bar and I'm trying to do the second part where the boxes (represent words), which I have circled in the image. I'm trying to directly make that section below the logo sign centered like the image shows but I am unsure on how to do that.

min-height: 100vh;

And you have made a lot of syntax errors like not giving double quotes to the class names

Need my hover state for my nav bar to be bigger

right now the purple just covers the text but it should be a nice block of colour like the dropdown is. Also, I have a bar under my nav img that should not be there when I hover. I know it is a width/height thing, but no matter where I put the code it does not work.

The problem is tag a's default display is inline, so if you want to adjust height of a tag, you have to change it's default display to display: inline-block like this, and then you may be able to do whatever you want with that a tag, you can refer my code below for more details:
#header a {
display: inline-block; // change display style
height: 75px;
line-height: 75px; // center the text
padding-left: 12px;
padding-right: 12px;
}
.dropdown > li > a {
padding: 0 16px; // no need to padding top and bottom because we already had line-height and height
}
.dropdown-content{
margin-top: 75px; // push the .dropdown-content further to fit new css
}
#header .dropdown-content li a{
display: block; // set an <a> tag to full with of the dropdown
height: auto;
line-height: 16px; // center the text with current font-size
}
you can take a look in my codepen.io for more details here. Hope it will help

Anchors are not clickable somehow

I've been trying to make that website for YouTube views and like bot and the logo isn't clickable somehow.
navbar ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: gray;
}
.navbar ul li {
float: left;
margin-right: 50px;
font-weight: 600;
font-size: 20px;
color: white;
}
li:first-child {
background-image: url(bolbol.png);
width: 150px;
height: 100px;
text-indent: -1400px;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
li:nth-child(2) {
position: relative;
top: 25px;
}
<div class="navbar">
<ul>
<li>Logo</li>
<li>Liorgay</li>
<li>Nevo King</li>
</ul>
</div>
https://jsfiddle.net/6L3jak0s/
I think what you are trying to do is to make things look like a header, it's better with flexbox. Something like this maybe..
.navbar {
display: flex;
background-color: gray;
margin: 0;
padding: 1rem;
justify-content:space-between;
align-items:center;
}
.navbar ul {
list-style-type: none;
display: flex;
align-items:center;
}
.navbar ul li {
margin-right: 50px;
font-weight: 600;
font-size: 20px;
color: white;
}
li:first-child {
background-image: url(bololo.jpg);
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
.navbar a {
display: block;
}
<div class="navbar">
Logo
<ul>
<li>Liorgay</li>
<li>Nevo King</li>
</ul>
</div>
Remove this property "text-indent: -1400px;" from this rule "li:first-child Rule".
and then add the following CSS.
.navbar li a {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
text-indent: -1400px;
}

Z-index not taking effect [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Using z-index to get div above another div
(4 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I designed a mobile menu and I have applied a z-index to the drop down mobile menu, but other elements still show over it. I have tried putting the z-index in these two elements:
.nav_list {}
.nav_list > a {}
Please note you have to be under 640px to see the button. Then when you press it, you will see the word "Hello" appear over the menu.
What am I doing wrong?
$('span.nav-btn').click(function () {
$('ul.nav_list').slideToggle(500);
})
$(window).resize(function (){
if ( $(window).width() > 640 ) {
$('ul.nav_list').removeAttr('style');
}
});

Hello
</p>
You need to add the position property to your elements for z index to work
so for instance adding position: relative; to .nav-list then adding your z-index should show the element above the others.
Add a position:absolute; or position:relative; to .nav_list {}. Otherwise, z-index won't work.

Menu Icon won't show after rezise

Basically I wanted to create a media query which would make my nav bar disappear and change into a menu icon... however it still won't show. Does anyone have a solution? Here's my code:
<header>
<div id="logo"></div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Latest Videos</li>
<li>About Me</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
my CSS:
nav {
float: right;
padding: 35px 20px 20px 0px;
}
#menu-icon{
display: hidden;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background-image: url(http://www.w3newbie.com/wp-content/uploads/icon.png) center;
}
a:hover#menu-icon {
border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;
}
ul {
list-style: none;
}
nav ul li {
font-size: 25px;
display: inline-block;
float: left;
padding: 20px;
}
.current {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: underline;
}
and finally my media query:
#media screen and (max-width: 478) {
body {
position: absolute;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 478) {
header {
position: absolute;
}
#menu-icon {
display: inline-block;
}
nav ul, nav:active ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #405580;
border: 1px solid #fff;
right: 20px;
top: 60px;
width: 50%;
border-radius: 2px 0 2px 2px;
}
nav li {
text-align: center;
width:: 100%;
padding: 10px 0;
margin: 0;
}
nav:hover ul {
display: block;
}
}
According to the docs, looks like you need to add the px after 478:
#media screen and (max-width: 478px) {
body {
position: absolute;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 478px) {
First off display: hidden; isnt a thing. You are looking for display:none.
Additionally you can use visibility: hidden; or visibility: visible;
If an object is set to display:none. And then you want to reveal it again at a specific screen width. You need to change the display value of that object in your media query.
display:block; or display:inline-block; or even in some cases display:inline;
For example:
#menu-icon{
display: none;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background-image: url(http://www.w3newbie.com/wp-content/uploads/icon.png) center;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 478px) {
#menu-icon{
display: block;
}
}
