website foobared in medium browser size and below (zurb foundation) - html

My website has some serious issues when you resize it to the medium and small views. It looks great at full screen and mobile view but has some serious issues in the browser when you shrink it down to medium and below. I've used foundation but also mixed in some non-foundation code that I think is causing some issues, such as the container. I also suspect there is something wrong with the top nav bar, because that looks off at shrunk views as well. There is a lot of code to look at but i will post some snippets here as well as link to the main site so you can look through the full code.
Here is some of the top bar and also I have a container which is not part of the grid which might be throwing things off, as well as a weird header element that I coded some css for and if removed throws it off as well. Basically, my code is a bit of a mess, and I will be cleaning it up best I can once I figure out what is causing a lot of this mess up when the browser is resized. (ps. to see the rest of the code and css, please visit www.omegadesignla.com and inspect element, or ask me to paste a specific part, thanks! )

From debugging your site with firebug i see that the logo in the left top corner is a png with 720px width. Although you have class .logo width: 40% it makes the .title-area 720px width which breaks the layout.
try following additions to css:
.title-area {
max-width: 40%; //or whatever you need for your layout. px will work there, too
}
.title-area .logo {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
I'd also rewize the png to the needed size to save some kB to download.
I hope that helps.

How to add a logo to navigation bar

Hello all I'm trying to add a logo to my navigation bar using HTML and CSS I have managed to get an image loaded on to my nav bar but it is way to big as seen in the picture.
<div class="nav">
<div class="container">
<ul class="pull-left">
<img src="images/test.png">
<li>Home</li>
<li>How to</li>
</ul>
<ul class="pull-right">
<li>Sign Up</li>
<li>Log In</li>
<li>Help</li>
</ul>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</div>
Well, there are several options.
First is to resize your image with any of editors like Photoshop and others.
Second is to set your image width and height via css:
.pull-left img {
display: block;
width: 30px; /* here put your width */
height: 30px; /* here put your height */
}
But if your logo image not going to scale to it's initial size according to your design and media queries, you should take the first approach. It will reduce file size as well.

Can't remove white space between header and navbar when using Materializecss

I am using the materializecss framework from materializecss.com. I have a simple image that I place above the navbar from materializecss and there is a small white space. I checked the source and there is no margin, padding or border at all. The space goes away if I put the navbar above the image so I am not sure what the problem is.
<img id="header" src="/public/images/header.gif" alt="Header"/>
<nav class="grey darken-4">
<div id="navbar" class="nav-wrapper">
<ul id="nav-mobile" class="hide-on-med-and-down">
<li>Profile</li>
<li>Skills</li>
<li>Projects</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
I am not using any other css besides the materializecss css file. Any ideas? I don't think that css has any margins anywhere as I don't see it when viewing the source for any of the elements.
Edit: Here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/0tL9up9s/ The list elements aren't appearing because I haven't copied over the javascript but you can still see the white space between the image and the navbar.
OK, I think it has to do with the fact that the image is display:inline and therefore has dimensions that include the line-height.
Setting your image to display: block will correct this issue.
CSS
#header { display:block; }
Or (HTML)
<img id="header" src="/public/images/header.gif" style="display:block" alt="Header"/>
Your fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/0tL9up9s/1/
Adding a html {line-height: 0} to the end of the materialize.css file seems to fix the problem. I have no idea if it will break any other functionality though, so be careful.

<img id="header" style="display:block;" src="http://www.thousandwonders.net/covers/89/Bryce.Canyon.National.Park.jpg" alt="Header" >
<nav class="grey darken-4">
<div id="navbar" class="nav-wrapper">
<ul id="nav-mobile" class="hide-on-med-and-down">
<li>Profile

<li>Projects

</ul>

Foundation 4 topbar nav on mobile not showing

I have a problem with Foundation 4 rendering on a small screen.
When on a local server i have the following html code, my custom css is turned of and so is my cutom js. All the needed libraries are loaded correctly as is the foundation library:
Why isnt my topbar showing in a very small browser window?
Below is a html snippet:
<div class="row show-for-touch show-for-portrait show-for-small">
<nav class="top-bar">
<ul class="title-area">
<li class="name">
<h1>title</h1>
</li>
<li class="toggle-topbar menu-icon"><span>Menu</span></li>
</ul>
<section class="top-bar-section">
<ul class="right">
<li><h4>Dungeon</h4></li>
<li><h4>Pricing information</h4></li>
<li><h4>Contact</h4></li>
</ul>
</section>
</nav>
</div>
You won't be able to see your bar in a small browser if you add this visibility class: show-for-touch, which displays only on a real mobile environment.
If you like to see on a small browser, simply remove this class:
<div class="row show-for-portrait show-for-small">
It works on this plunk.

Bootstrap nav collapsing into body of site

I am having issues with my navigation collapsing into the body of my site and I would prefer it to remain fixed when the browser window is re-sized. I have tried adjusting the min/max-widths of the bootstrapresponsive.css but it still seems to disappear into the body. Any help would be amazing. Cheers! I have posted the code below:
<div class="navbar" style="padding-bottom:0px;">
<div class="navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container" style="width: auto;">
<div id="logo"><img src="images/CoHlogo.jpg" class="logoImage";></div>
<div class="nav-right">

Removal of the class .nav-collapse from one of the <div> elements solves this problem. As the name of the class suggests, an element with this class will become hidden on smaller screen sizes (I think below widths of 979px is what the stylesheet says?), by receiving height:0 and overflow:hidden via media query.
Here's a JSFiddle (with externally-loaded Bootstrap CSS) that demonstrates how layout would appear without this class. Try resizing the Result pane to see how it would look at different screen sizes.
I hope this is what you were looking for! If not, let me know and I'll be happy to help further.
(Edit:) On taking a look at your live environment, I can now see that when you say "collapse", you mean the navigation links break to a new line as the parent element becomes too small. This is standard behaviour for floated elements. To stop this from happening, you can try applying min-width:1200px or something to that effect to the .container element (inside of .navbar-fixed-top). Hope this helps!

Zurb Top Nav Bar drop-down not working on small screen when dynamically included

I am trying to get my head around Zurb Foundation's Top Navigation bar. I struggled to get it working first time around when I was including the navigation mark-up via a js include. When I copied the code into each html page it suddenly worked. This was fine, but I have added a new section to my site where the pages are dynamically formed with ruby.
The actual issue is that when a screen is small, the drop-down menu at the top right of the page stops working.
On the front page of my site, the navigation works on a small screen: Mac Media Production home page, however on this page: Mac Media Production Hosting page, the navigation bar no longer operates correctly, and as far as I am aware the mark-up is the same:
<!-- Header and Nav -->
<nav class="top-bar">
<ul>
<!-- Title Area -->
<li class="name">
<h1>
<a href="http://www.mac-media.co.uk">
mac media
</a>
</h1>
</li>
<li class="toggle-topbar"></li>
</ul>
<section>
<!-- Top Right Nav Section -->
<ul class="right">
<li class="has-dropdown">
<a class="active" href="http://www.mac-media.co.uk/index.html">Menu</a>
<ul class="dropdown">
<li><label>Pages</label></li>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li><label>Our Services</label></li>
<li>Web Design</li>
<li>Photo</li>
<li>Video</li>
<li>Hosting</li>
<li>Emails</li>

</li>
<li class="divider hide-for-small"></li>
</ul>
</section>
</nav>
Can anyone help please!?
In ZURB Foundation 3, this line:
<li class="toggle-topbar"></li>
should be changed to:
<li class="toggle-topbar"></li>
This is just a placeholder for jQuery
