Image under navabar - html

I currently have a navbar as such:
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
And the following image at the bottom of the container:
<img class="img-responsive" src="Images/test.png" alt="">
<!-- End of container -->
However the image underneath overlaps the text. How can I style the image such that it "pushes" everything on the page down so that it doesn't overlap any text (the same way a navbar behaves)

its simple, just provide a width and height to image. If this is what you want

You could place your image outside of your navbar if it isn't already. Otherwise you can add display: block to your image to push it to its own line. Further you can use margins or positioning to align it correctly.
body {
font-family: sans-serif;
}
nav {
display: inline-block;
background-color: #eee;
}
ul {
overflow: auto;
padding: 1rem 2rem;
list-style-type: none;
}
li {
float: left;
margin: 0.25rem 0.5rem;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #555;
}
img {
display: block;
width: 5.65rem;
}
<nav>
<ul>
<li>
item 1
</li>
<li>
item 2
</li>
<li>
item 3
</li>
</ul>
</nav>

A crude solution would be to add a line break with the <br/> tag. This method would separate the image from the navbar. Another solution would be to place a spacer tag between the two. This can be done by adjusting the height of a <div> tag.
While you certainly don't have to, I use an API that allows me to assign a class name of
spacer(height of spacer in pixels)
Or, for example, if I wanted a height of 250 pixels,
spacer250
while the API changes the height of the tag on the call of function
$scs.createSpacers('div');
If you would like to use the API, the library is found at this link.

Space between icons in navbar

I want to remove the padding between the icons, but having a hard time positioning at flex-start. I've tried removing padding and margins but doesn't seem to work. I want the icons to be closer together.
I want to build it using flexbox but while I can add the icons I can't seem to work with the space in between each icon.

Your problem is that you've set the img element to be 8% of the width of its parent. That parent is not the nav bar. The result is that the image is only occupying a small area of the list item, and forcing a lot of extra space beside. You also don't need the image inside a div, or the extra flex display properties on the image. Remove all that.
In general, you should have a rule that sets images to be a maximum of 100% of their containing element width, like this:
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
Once you have that in place, you can just set the width on the parent element and remove the image width:
nav li {
margin-right: 0.5rem;
width: 2rem;
}
Keeps your code more logical and avoids having rules that are unnecessarily many elements deep.
You'll also want to remove the bullet points created by using the ul and li elements:
nav ul {
list-style: none;
}
Here's an example of this using your code.
Please try this:)
.main-nav{
background-color: #00008b;
}
.main-nav .main-nav-list{
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
.main-nav .main-nav-list img {
width: 8%;
}

How to resize a logo link inside a header

I made a header. It contains only a logo and a website title. The logo is a link to the main page. My problem is that I can't seem to get the logo to be all the way to the left in the header and I want it to resize so it fits into the header (instead of: header gets bigger because of logo). I placed the logo and the website name/title in two different divs.
Setting the with or height to 100% was something that often came by. I have tried to use this, but it wouldn't work.
"object-fit" should also be an option, but my IDE doesn't recognize this property.
When I use "float: left;" for the logo, it goes all the way to the left, but it also goes out of the header (well, it looks like it does) and pushes my other divs beneath the header/page content to the right.
the HTML:
<div class="header">
<a href="index.html" class="logo">
<img src="image.png">
</a>
<div class="header-right">
<h1>Website title/name</h1>
</div>
</div>
the CSS:
.header {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
.logo{
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
one way you can achieve this by having two images one for desktop version and other for mobile version. Using window.navigator you can identify whether you are in mobile or in desktop.
Sometimes resizing the logo may shrink and may not look good. Instead having two different logos (small one for mobile = small size) should serve your purpose.

Unable to center footer in CSS

I am unable to center the footer on the page. All content is centered on the page and set to 1280px, so it does not take up the entire width of the page. The issue is that everything on the page is centered except the footer. It is the correct width, but the footer is pushed hard left. Any ideas what I am missing?
This is what the footer looks like currently:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Css/Style.css">
<link rel="icon" type="png" href="../Pictures/Icon.png">
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<meta name="description" content="xxx">
<meta name="keywords" content="xxx">
<meta name="author" content="xxx">
<title>xxx</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<h1>xxx</h1>
<h2>xxx</h2>
</div>
<div>
<hr/>
</div>
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li class="menuitem">Home</li>
<li class="menuitem">Manage Income</li>
<li class="menuitem">Manage Bills</li>
<li class="menuitem">View Calendar</li>
</ul>
<a id="signout" href="SignOut.html">Signout</a>
</div>
<div class="pie"></div>
</div>
</body>
<footer>
<a id="contact" href="xxx.html">Contact Us</a>
</footer>
</html>
footer{
display: block;
width: 1280px;
height: 35px;
text-align: center;
bottom: 0px;
position: fixed;
float: none;
margin: auto;
background-color: #B6B6B4;
}
Your example code appears to align correctly for me.
Note that your width of 1280px means that the text will be centered at exactly 640px (half of 1280px), and this is likely outside of your viewport at smaller widths, meaning it will seem as though your text is not central.
To remedy this, use a percentage-based width instead, such as 100% to indicate that your footer should occupy the full width available:
footer {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 35px;
text-align: center;
bottom: 0px;
position: fixed;
float: none;
margin: auto;
background-color: #B6B6B4;
}
<footer>
Test
</footer>
As you can see in the above example, the text is visible even though the viewport is narrow.
Note that it's also possible that your footer's CSS is being overridden by a selector with higher specificity. You can use the F12 Debugger to ensure that your rules are being applied correctly.
Hope this helps! :)

background-image for header not working

Im trying to use a full screen image as my headers background but for some reason the image is not showing up and I cant figure out what im doing wrong. Can someone help? The image is in the same folder as the html and css files btw.
CSS
body {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
}
#header{
background-image:url(headerbackground.png);
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: inline-block;
float: right;
}
HTML
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, width=device-width">

<body>
<header>
<div id="header">

<li>CONTACTO</li>
</ul>
</div>
</header>
</body>
</html>
Since you've given your header div (#header) no explicit height and floated the only child it has, it collapses and acts like it has no content. Either give it a height or add overflow:auto to the CSS rules for it.
Agree with #j08691.
Working with html layout and css, it's always helpful, for me at least, to add following css:
border: 1px solid green; //or any color you like
so that we can see clearly how is the layout.
additional, in case you have issue with src image size, you may use
background-size: cover;

Why are my div's overlapping

I'm a beginner programmer and I'm not sure why my <header> and <section> divs are overlapping one another. I thought that since they were block elements, <section> would start below <header>. Any thoughts? Is there something I need to add in my CSS?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Greg's List</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" name="description" content="This is the challenge page for the CSS Layout Lesson in Thinkful. Here I'll be creating a search page for Greg's List">
<!-- reset -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/normalize/4.1.1/normalize.min. css">
<!--styles-->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<nav class="container">
<h1 class="title">Greg's List</h1>
<ul class="links">
<li class="posts">Post</li>
<li class="account">Account</li>
</ul>
</nav><!--end of nav-->

<section class="search">
<form>
<input class="search-bar">
<img src="images/magnifying-glass.png" class="search-pic">
</form>
</section><!--end of section-->
</body>
</html>
CSS
header {
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
background-color: Gainsboro;
position: fixed;
}
h1 {
font-family: Arial;
}
.title {
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 12px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
ul {
display: inline-block;
float: right;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 20px;
font-size: 25px;
}
Remove position: fixed from header css.
Remember, when you ask question:- Make sure you add the complete code as there is no div in your code
I popped your CSS and HTML into this JSFiddle but am not seeing any immediate issues.
That being said, I noticed that you have a float: right; on your <ul> but you don't clear it anywhere, and so this could cause elements to overlap. Assuming you've used floats elsewhere, you need to be sure to clear:both; at each level you float elements, like so:
CSS
.clear {
clear: both;
}
HTML
<nav class="container">
<h1 class="title">Greg's List</h1>
<ul class="links"> <!-- FLOATED ELEMENT -->
<li class="posts">Post</li>
<li class="account">Account</li>
</ul>
<div class="clear"></div> <!-- CLEAR FLOATS -->
</nav><!--end of nav-->
I don't think you've really included enough information (you mentioned overlapping div elements, but then posted HTML that didn't contain a single div), so I'm shooting in the dark here.
EDIT: Check out Nirjhar Vermani's answer to your question as well. You have a position: fixed; on your header, which I originally assumed was intentional, however this would cause your header to stay in a static position in the window and ignore the elements around it.
