I'm trying to get my menu working with an image on the left side. For some reason whenever I try to align the image in same line with the menu it's not working out. This is what the html looks like, I can't get the CSS working at all. It's either throwing the menu under the image or the background disappears and the content overlaps the menu but the image is in the right place. The image is 50px in height as well so it shouldn't be a problem.
HTML:
<div>
<img src="logo_small2.png" alt="" id="banner">
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="selected">Main page</li>
<li>Classes</li>
<li>Game modes</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
CSS:
header div {
height: 50px;
background: #333333;
}
#banner,
header ul li {
display: inline-block;
}
header nav > ul > li{
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 50px;
padding: 12px;
position: relative;
}
What happens now is that the banner is in place over the background of the div and the menu is under the banner and the background in a new line. If I replace the img with a simple h1 it works as a charm >.> I'm clueless, please help
Your CSS does not match the HTMl, there is no header shown.
Assuming that the div is, in fact the header, the nav needs to be inline-block too I suspect. It's currently block level and so 100% wide.
Then you can just align the elements.
header {
height: 50px;
background: tomato; /* for demo only */
}
header nav {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
header nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#banner,
header ul li {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
header nav > ul > li {
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 50px;
padding: 12px;
position: relative;
}
<header>
<img src="http://www.fillmurray.com/200/50" alt="" id="banner">
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="selected">Main page
</li>
<li>Classes
</li>
<li>Game modes
</li>
<li>Contact
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
Possible reason is the width of the image not allowing the inline-block comand:
try this:
img{ float:left; width:50%; vertical-align:middle;}
ul{float:right;width:40%;vertical-align:middle;}

I just started with CSS and HTML. I am not able to sync my div and nav tag along the same line. The problem is that my div and nav are too far away from each other. What's the error here?
/* CSS RESET */
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#navbar {
align-items: center;
display: flex;
}
/* Logo And Image */
#logo {
margin: 10px 20px;
}
#logo img {
margin: 0px 0px;
}
/* Navigation Bar:-List Styling */
#navbar ul {
display: flex;
}
<nav id="navbar">
<div id="logo">
<img src="top.png" alt="Image Failed To Load !" width="10%" />
</div>
<ul>
<li class="item">Home</li>
<li class="item">About Us</li>
<li class="item">Recommendations</li>
<li class="item">Contact Me</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<section class="home">
<h1 class="h-primary">
Lorem ipsum
</h1>
</section>
Remove or change this margin:
#logo {
margin: 10px 20px;
}
The 10px adds space to the top and bottom.
The 20px adds space to the left and right.
I checked and tested your code, and from what you asked i understand you want div and ul to be same line, which are located inside nav. Then you should use display:flex; for element.
Don't forget to link your css to your HTML.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="test.css">
It seems perfectly fine in my testing, div and ul at the same line
I'm trying to add a site banner above the menu on my site using a simple img tag but whenever I do so the menu just overlaps the image. What I want to achieve is the menu to be pushed down by the image above it so it appears right under it.
HTML:
<header>
<img src="site_logo.jpg" alt="">
<img src="banner_small.png" alt="" id="banner">
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="selected">Main page
</li>
<li>Classes
</li>
<li>Game modes
</li>
<li>Contact
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
My first img is for the site logo and the second one is in the menu. I want to position the first img to be on top of the site and push the menu down
CSS:
header {
height: 50px;
background: #333333;
}
header nav {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
header nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#banner,
header ul li {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
header nav > ul > li {
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 50px;
padding: 12px;
position: relative;
}
Try to put the images inside div elements:
<div id='x'><img src="site_logo.jpg" alt=""></div>
<div id='y'><img src="banner_small.png" alt="" id="banner"></div>
Then if you want to increse ou decrease the space between elements use the Margin property:
x{margin-bottom:...px;}
y{margin-top:...px; margin-bottom:..px;}
I'm trying to right-align the nav without using float. I read somewhere online that I could set the parent element to text-align: right, but that didn't work when I tried it. I appreciate any help for what I know is an easy problem but one that has confounded me most of the day.
header {
background-color: #AEB7CC;
padding: 0 10px;
}
nav {
display: inline-block;
}
nav li {
display: inline;
}
<header>
hi
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home
</li>
<li>bop</li>
<li>bop</li>
<li>bop</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>

The solution is that you have to add text-align: right; to the parent element which is the header.
header {
text-align: right;
...
}
Then add display: inline-block; to the children (nav) and the children will be aligned right.
Another solution would be to set a width to nav and a:
header nav {
with: 80%;
}
header a {
width: 20%;
}
header nav ul {
text-align: right;
}
header nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
}
if you want the nav to move to the right, simple method is float:right but since you don't want to use this then text-align:right would place it on right if nav has 100% width for that row.
Therefore, you can do either of these two things.
right now using CSS you can make
nav{width:98%; text-align:right};
or for better results, use JS
var anchorTopWidth = $("a").width() / $('a').parent().width() * 100;
requiredWidth = 100-anchorTopWidth;
$('nav').css({'width': requiredWidth+'%', 'text-align':'right'});
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/a6a367vp/3/
One possible and recommended solution is as follows:
Put the <nav> in a <div> element and then use the text-align property for the specified div. like this:
Html:
<div class="nav_menu">
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>bop</li>
<li>bop</li>
<li>bop</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
CSS:
.nav_menu{
text-align: right;
}
Update:
Put the <a> tag in another div and then specify the width for the selected divs. Your final code should be like this:
HTML:
<header>
<div class="atag_div">
hi
</div>
<div class="nav_menu">
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>bop</li>
<li>bop</li>
<li>bop</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</header>
CSS:
header {
background-color: #AEB7CC;
padding: 0 10px;
}
nav li {
display: inline;
}
.atag_div{
width: 20%;
display: inline-block;
}
.nav_menu{
width: 78%;
display: inline-block;
text-align: right;
}

I would like to position the image and the navigation links so that they are vertically aligned with the HeadContainer and each other.
HTML
<header>
<div id="HeadContainer">
<img src="favicon.png" id="title"/>
<nav>
<p>Home</p>
<p>About</p>
<p>Portfolio</p>
<p>Contact</p>
</nav>
</div>
</header>
CSS:
#HeadContainer {
width:70%;
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
}
header {
height: 60px;
}
nav {
float: right;
}
nav p {
display: inline;
margin-left: 10px;
font-size: 1.2em;
}
#title {
float: left;
width: 40px;
}
At the moment they are not aligned. How would I align the paragraph tags in the nav with the image?
You should know that inside a navigation you'll hardly have <p> elements. I don't see any reason Google also. So go with: http://jsbin.com/melag/2/edit
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Portfolio</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
nav {
float: right;
}
nav ul{
list-style:none;
}
nav ul li{
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
}
Roko's answer is the tried and true method. I recommend it too. I want to point out that, in HTML 5, the <nav> tag is intended to replace a modified unordered list for navigation menus.

I'm trying to create a header/nav bar where there will be navigation options on either side of a logo, which I would like all to be vertically centered. To achieve this, I'm using <li> and <li class> elements, but am having little luck with the vertical centering. Any ideas?
HTML
<header>
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="btn"><span>01</span>Home</li>
<li class="btn"><span>02</span>Vendors</li>
<li><img src="img/logo.png" alt="sews logo" /></li>
<li class="btn"><span>03</span>Tickets</li>
<li class="btn"><span>04</span>Blog</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
CSS
nav {
margin: 40px auto;
width: 600px;
padding-bottom: 80px;
}
nav ul li {
display: inline;
}
nav ul li a {
margin:0 10px;
}
nav ul li.btn a {
padding-top: -10px;
}
nav ul li a span {
color: #e3c22a;
font-family: fanwood;
}
To vertically center something, apply the css rules display: table cell in addition to vertical-align: middle on the container element.
If the links and image were in the same element, say a div, you could set the image to use the style tag: vertical-align: middle;
position relative the header. position absolute the image. left: 50%; the image
