Use Bootstrap navbar as a fixed top bar that doesn't collapse - html

Question

I'm trying to do a simple thing: a top bar (like a fixed navbar) that has a brand name on the left and 2 icons on the right. I'm developping for mobile, so I don't want it to change (collapse, like a navbar does by default) for small screens.
I'm relatively new to Bootstrap, so I guess I'm doing something wrong.
In order to prevent the collapse, I put everything in the navbar-header div. I created a <span class="pull-right"> to get the icons to the right, but I can't get them to render correctly.
(I doubt if this matters, but I'm using Bootstrap 3.0.x.)
This is what I currently have: http://jsfiddle.net/rd73tecL/2/

Answer 1

Try using the following CSS to disable the collapsing effect (as referenced here: Bootstrap 3 - disable navbar collapse):
.navbar-collapse.collapse {
display: block !important;
}
.navbar-nav>li, .navbar-nav {
float: left !important;
}
.navbar-nav.navbar-right:last-child {
margin-right: -15px !important;
}
.navbar-right {
float: right !important;
}
I'm unsure as to what you mean by 2 icons on the right: to the immediate right of the logo or right of the navbar? If the latter case, you could put your nav bar links into a div and add the pull-right class to put it to the right of the navbar. You would then also need to add display: inline-block !important; to the css of your navbar logo, as shown in this JSfiddle
Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Try using this code:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Fibe</a>
<span class="navbar-right pull-right">
<ul class="navbar-nav nav">
<li class="navbar-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span></li>
<li class="navbar-link"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star"></span></li>
</ul>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
Just amended
<span class="navbar-right"> with <span class="navbar-right pull-right">
Hope this helps.
