Align the search and menu bar on headermenu - html

Question

I am trying to figure out why it can not align correctly. I have tried: display, align changing the margins, changing the padding, changing the position. event the top or doing a float on it.
Photo of what it looks like
.headerMenu {
background-color: #272626;
Height: 56px;
border-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: auto;
padding-right: auto;
width: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 1000px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
.logo {

Your problem lies in the fact that a div element is a block element and therefore forces itself to a new line.
If we tell the system to make each div under the #wrapper to be an inline element, then it will all line up as expected.
It also requires vertical-align: middle to make everything align to the middle of the header. If this isn't present then it sets it to the bottom of the header element.
.headerMenu {
background-color: #272626;
Height: 56px;
border-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: auto;
padding-right: auto;
width: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 1000px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
div#wrapper > div {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.logo {
padding-top: 9px;
padding-bottom: 9px;
width: 38px;
transition-timing-function: linear;
transition: all 2s;
}
.logo .img {
background-image: url(../img/logo-white-p.png);
width: 38px;
height: 38px;
transition-timing-function: linear;
transition: all 0.5s;
}
.logo:hover {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1.00);
}
.logo .img:hover {
background-image: url(../img/logo-black-p.png);
