newbie to HTML & CSS here with only 2 weeks learning under my belt. I'm trying to replicate the Google web page and although I have managed to center the "Google" logo and the searchbar underneath it, i've done it using margin-top and margin-left properties. I did try margin: 0 auto; with some other properties but could not get anything to work. The times when I did manage to center the logo using different properties, it wasn't fully central on the page. Basically what i'm saying is that the way i've done it works, but I know it isn't the most efficient way of making these two elements central on the page and it certainly doesn't represent a responsive webpage.
Would anyone mind having a look at the code i've pasted below and offer advice on the best way to go about this? I've included the whole HTML and CSS code, incase anyone wishes to load the site in Notepad etc. Many thanks in advance!

To center an image you can use text-align:center; on the parent element. For the searchbar you can use margin:0 auto; as long as the search bar has a defined width:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
div.nav li {

For the searchbar you should be using an input rather than a p(paragraph). Another tip is that instead of defining margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, margin-left, you can use the shorthand margin. The first value is the top margin, next is right margin, then bottom, then left.
If you want the top/bottom and right/left margins to be the same, respectively, you can define 2 values(first being top and bottom and second being right and left). If you want to define a different top and bottom margin but use the same margin for left/right you can define 3 values(first being top, second being right/left and third being bottom).
For example:
margin-top:20px;
margin-right:50px;
margin-bottom:20px;
margin-left:50px;
can be written as
margin:20px 50px;
Or the following:
margin-top:50px;
margin-right:100px;
margin-bottom:20px;
margin-left:100px;
can be written as:
margin:50px 100px 20px;
Same thing goes for padding.
you can't use pixels to set margin!
you have to set margin of the main class to 50% of page height and width like this:
(to resolve problems change percent of size and margin to fit 100%)

I am having an issue with the second level menu only in Safari. Top level and submenu work fine on mouse hover on chrome, firefox etc but when opened in Safari, only first menu is opening on hover. I have already tried other solutions available here and on other forums but it's still same.

I have included the HTML and CSS code for the menu. I have also checked it on chrome using windows OS, and it works but the only issue is with safari browser.
There are a couple of suggestions I have that may help.
Firstly, I would not recommend using position: fixed; to position your submenus because fixed is a position relative to the browser window. You likely want the submenus to be positioned according to the parent, not the window.
Secondly, you have overflow: hidden; on .navbar-nav, which means anything that falls outside the borders of it should be invisible - which would include your submenus.
Here is a JSFiddle with a working example of your snippet with my suggestions, tested and working in Safari:
.nav {
margin: 2% 10% 0 35%;
width: 60%;
height: auto;
z-index: 1;
position: absolute;
}
.nav-container {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0;
font-weight: 300;
font-family: "Open Sans";
font-size: 15px;
}
.nav-container a:hover {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
.nav-pos {
display: inline-block;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}
.nav-pos-sp {}
.navbar-nav {
margin-top: 1%;
display: none;
height: auto;
color: #C7C7C7;
width: 200px;
position: relative;
}
.navbar-nav-menu a {
font-size: 14px;
display: block;
text-align: left;
padding: 15px 0px 15px 12px;
border-bottom: thin solid #fff;
background-color: #343434;

}
.navbar-nav-menu-item-101a:hover .navbar-nav-child {
display: block !important;
}
.navbar-nav-menu-child-text a {
font-size: 14px;

html/css newbie here.
I have done some courses on html/css and now I'm testing my knowledge by attempting to copy some websites I like. Right now I'm trying my best to make Khan Academy's front page (https://www.khanacademy.org), but I've been struggling with something.
I have an <ul> that represents the top navigation bar of the page, and now I'm trying to center their logo (<div id="ka"> that is inside the navbar as a list item) to the page but using text-align: center and margin-left: auto; & margin-right: auto doesn't seem to do anything.
Here's my code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-image: url("https://cdn.kastatic.org/images/homepage/mountains-simple.svg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 157.75%;
background-position-x: 50.825%;

I have seem this question but what was suggested didn't work for me.
My question is: how do I center the logo div?
A side note: since I'm fairly new to html there could be a lot of bad practices in the code above. Tips on how to do the things I did more efficiently would be highly appreciated.
here a solution for your problem.
In CSS, flex is very usefull, take a look at:
Flex guide https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
My CSS
I have used flexbox for centered verically divs and set the right div.
For the logo, I used a first div with the height and width of the taskbar (non-clickable) and a second with the logo centered (clickable) with position absolute.

I'm wondering why the elements in my nav bar appear to have blank space above them? I've checked the margin and padding and there doesn't seem to be an issue, but there is a large space above my #logo and #searchbox which is messing up my layout, how can I get rid of the space above the elements?
Thanks a lot!

Your <nav> element has a padding of 10px.
EDIT: The absolutely positioned search form seems to be causing the problem. I made the following changes and the space went away:
#searchbox_div {
position: relative;
display: block;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#searchbox {
position: relative;
float: right;
}
#logo {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
font-family: arial;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 26px;
float: left;
}
#main_nav{
display: inline-block;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
margin-top: 4em;
margin-left: 1em;
}
I noticed that you`re not using a css reset. A CSS Reset (or “Reset CSS”) is a short, often compressed (minified) set of CSS rules that resets the styling of all HTML elements to a consistent baseline.
In case you didn’t know, every browser has its own default ‘user agent’ stylesheet, that it uses to make unstyled websites appear more legible. For example, most browsers by default make links blue and visited links purple, give tables a certain amount of border and padding, apply variable font-sizes to H1, H2, H3 etc. and a certain amount of padding to almost everything. Ever wondered why Submit buttons look different in every browser?
Obviously this creates a certain amount of headaches for CSS authors, who can’t work out how to make their websites look the same in every browser.
Using a CSS Reset, CSS authors can force every browser to have all its styles reset to null, thus avoiding cross-browser differences as much as possible.
Also, sometimes if I have a problem with blank spaces, I run the html all together so there are no blank spaces between the tags. To make it look neat, I insert carriage returns in the middle of the html tag.
By default, most browsers have an 8px or so margin that is built in or "Added" to the page style. The super easy way to eliminate this is through CSS. Simply use:
html,body{
margin:0;
}
You can also add:
padding:0;
If it's still giving you problems!
You appear to need to reset/normalize your css as that
html,body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
The <nav> element is configured to have 10 pixels of padding on all sides.
I want to have a navigation bar with a logo inside it but as I add the logo the line doesn't look fine!
The problem is when I add the pic its like the picture and the text doesnt stay in the same line! not that the line breaks but the text slides down a little while it shouldn't.
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
}
div#gnb_bg {
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-right: 10px solid black;
}
a.gnb {
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 26px;
border-right: 1px solid #448811;
padding-right: 2.5%;
padding-left: 2.5%;
padding-top: 14px;
padding-bottom: 14px;
margin: 0px;
}
img#gnb_logo {
height: 30px;
margin: 10px;
}
nav#gnb {
text-align: center;
background-color: #99FF33;
height: 50px;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<nav id="gnb" role="navigation" aria-label="Global Navigation">
<div id="gnb_bg">

<img id="gnb_logo" src="../images/logo.gif" />
</div>
</nav>
</body>
For starters we need to sort out your html.
Then look at your css your <a> if you're using padding etc you need to make it a block level element.
remove the height 50px from your nav that's not something you want to be giving height to. Instead use your padding of <a> to get the desired height it helps with responsive.
But because we want it to sit beside your image use inline-block
also do not use CSS to define an tag's height and width you should use the tags attributes so that rendering happens smoothly.
Also you need to use alt on images.
your image also needs the following css rule's:
img#gnb_logo {
vertical-align:middle;
margin:0 10px;
}
So that it sits the way you want it beside your link.
Also if that is your site's logo it should not be inside <nav>
If it's an icon relative to the link then instead of using <img> use background-image
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
}
ul,
li {
list-style: none;
}
div#gnb_bg {
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-right: 10px solid black;
}
a.gnb {
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 26px;
border-right: 1px solid #448811;
padding-right: 2.5%;
padding-left: 2.5%;
padding-top: 14px;
padding-bottom: 14px;
margin: 0px;
display: inline-block;
}
img#gnb_logo {
vertical-align:middle;
margin:0 10px;
}
nav#gnb {
text-align: center;
background-color: #99FF33;
}
<header>
<nav id="gnb" role="navigation" aria-label="Global Navigation">
<ul id="gnb_bg">

<a class="gnb" href="../feedbacks/feedbacks.html">feedbacks</a>
<img id="gnb_logo" src="../images/logo.gif" height="30" alt="GNB Logo" />
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
If you add vertical-align: middle to both the a.gnb and img#gnb_logo, that will probably fix your problem.
Pay attention to the top/bottom padding on your link so that it does overflow the 50px height that you assigned to the parent container.
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
}
div#gnb_bg {
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
border-right: 10px solid black;
}
a.gnb {
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 26px;
border-right: 1px solid #448811;
padding-right: 2.5%;
padding-left: 2.5%;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin: 0px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
img#gnb_logo {
height: 30px;
margin: 10px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
nav#gnb {
text-align: center;
background-color: #99FF33;
height: 50px;
}
<nav id="gnb" role="navigation" aria-label="Global Navigation">
<div id="gnb_bg">
<a class="gnb" href="../feedbacks/feedbacks.html">feedbacks</a>
<img id="gnb_logo" src="http://placehold.it/100x50" />
</div>
</nav>
First your a.gnb class should have a display-block if you want to render padding on an inline tag like a "a" tag. And your line-height must be of 22px if you want to make it fit in a 50px height container (14px + 14px padding top and bottom + 22px line-height equal 50px)
Second, to make your image alignment just add vertical-align: middle to the img#gnb_logo rule:
body {
background-color: #C8F1BA;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
div#gnb_bg{
margin:0px;
padding-top:0px;
padding-bottom:0px;
border-right:10px solid black;
}
a.gnb{
background-color: #99FF33;
text-decoration: none;
font-size:26px;
border-right:1px solid #448811;
padding-right:2.5%;
padding-left:2.5%;
padding-top:14px;
padding-bottom:14px;
margin:0px;
line-height: 22px;
display: inline-block;
}
img#gnb_logo{
height:30px;
margin:10px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
nav#gnb{
text-align:center;
background-color: #99FF33;
height: 50px;
}
You need to remove the margin.
img#gnb_logo{
height:30px;
margin:0px;
}

I'm just getting started on HTML5 and CSS3 (working through The Odin Project) and the first project is to duplicate the Google homepage. I was able to get everything set up, but it seems like my CSS is somehow preventing my header links from acting like links. You can't click on them and the hover effects don't work.
They work fine on my footer and my nav text-decoration is applied, so I'm not sure what's making it act like it's not a link. I've only tested it in Chrome, so I'm not even worried about compatability issues yet. Am I doing the HTML5 wrong? Or is it some kind of weird rule like you can't use hover effects with inline-block or something? I'm not familiar enough with it yet to have learned all those nuances yet...
Here's the HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Google</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

<ul>

</ul>
</nav>
<div class="container">

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Oh, and I haven't even started on JavaScript yet, so I'd like to avoid JavaScript if possible!
Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Lvfmwhvu/
The problem is your container element, if you remove the position relative it will work, but not sure if it will be maintained in the same position, but you can check it and modify your css accordingly:
.container{
vertical-align: middle;
}
Hope this helps.
Your main container isn't clearing the floated navbar. Because it falls later in your document, it has a higher layer index and covers the navbar. Try this:
.container {
...
clear: both;
}
