I want to make a nav bar that automatically turns into a Menu button and collapses when you minimize your browser
I want it to be exactly like this one http://php1.emagid.net/~laurenbe/
I looked up tutorials but every tutorial only teaches us how to do the bar static to the top of the page. Any suggestions?
This is part of bootstrap, the Navbar
At it's most basic, you want to do this:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<div class="btn btn-primary">Menu</div>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
</ul>
</div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
</div><!-- /.container-fluid -->
</nav>
You can then use custom CSS styles to over-ride bootstraps native styling.
It's all about responsive design, so you can have help here : http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid.

What is the best way in Bootstrap4 to display a menu AND de hamburger menu together (in a navbar)?
Idea is less important menu elements via hamburger menu.
Thanks for any help!
Gerard
If you go to the official bootstrap website. https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navbar/ , there are a lots of examples of navbar.
The main idea is screen breakpoint. To decide on what breakpoint to show the hamburger icon.
In bootstrap-4 this is controlled by the utility class navbar-expand-X. So that if we want to show our show our hamburger icon when screen size is medium and below, we will use navbar-expand-md on the parent nav element.
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-light">...</nav>
Bootstrap will give it's own styles for the navbar, which we can then override by our own custom styles based on our requirement.
Check this example and try to adapt it on your case:

You can look on getbootstrap.com :

Beginner project - I'm working on something with Bootstrap and have mostly finished building my Navbar. When the Navbar goes into collapsed mode I like the dropdown menu a lot and I want to have it this way at all times.
I cant for the life of me figure out what is even making it change to begin with
The left one is how it looks when it is collapsed, and how I wish to have it at all times (notice how it automatically centers the dropdown here as well):

I found that if I tweaked the CSS so that the page is always in collapsed mode, the dropdown still has the 2 styles and changes where collapsed mode used to kick in
Apologies - beginner here, new to StackOver flow as well, hope this makes sense to someone :) cheers

I dont know how to properly show my css, but not sure its relevant as even if i disable ALL CSS on the page the behavior is the same
I have tried just about everything to get the toggle navigation to work and I have had no luck. Is it just a simple mistake or piece of code I'm missing? I have tried loading different scripts but still nothing.
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation" style="background-color: #f2f2f2">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle"
data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#nav-collapse" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a href="#/home" class="navbar-brand">
<img src="img/evodent-logo.png" alt="evodent-logo" style="width:190px;">
</a>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="nav-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>
ABOUT
</li>
<li>
CONTACT
</li>
</ul>
</div>

</nav>
It seems like the code is working just fine as is. Make sure that you are including the bootstrap.min.js file on your page as well. As the collapsible components in bootstrap require this plugin/file.
Here is the official documentation on the Bootstrap Navbar that mentions that the plugin is required: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#navbar
Requires JavaScript plugin
If JavaScript is disabled and the viewport is narrow enough that the navbar collapses, it will be impossible to expand the navbar and view the content within the .navbar-collapse.
The responsive navbar requires the collapse plugin to be included in your version of Bootstrap.
I have a website running with Bootstrap. I'm trying to get an image to match its container's height (it's huge right now). I've seen make an image fit its container by setting the image height to the containers height but it's not working. My best guess as to why is because it's inside a link:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid">
<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1" aria-expanded="false">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<!--<a class="navbar-brand" href="/">K7DXS</a>-->
Here's the image:
<a class-"navbar-brand" class="k7dxslogo" href="/"><img src="/k7dxsblink.gif" class="k7dxslogo" alt="K7DXS" /></a>
The rest of the code:
</div>
<!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>Linux</li>
<li>Ham Radio</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Partner Sites</li>
<li>External Links</li>
</ul>
</div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
</div><!-- /.container-fluid -->
</nav>
My relevant style.css:
.k7dxslogo {
height: 100%;
}
Why isn't it working, and how do I fix it?
EDIT: To be clear, I do NOT want to set a definite height for anything. To do so would make it so that the site is not responsive.
Add "img-responsive" class to your HTML img tag.
Set a defined height for navbar-brand
So I am trying to change the color of the navbar. I have worked with HTML and CSS, but havent really made design changes before. And for some reason I cannot figure out for the life of me how to make changes to this html/css template I downloaded.
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-ex1-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="index.php">CandyCode</a>
</div>
<!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-ex1-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>About
</li>
<li>Services
</li>
<li>Contact
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
</div>
<!-- /.container -->
</nav>
I am not really sure what to change in the CSS. Essentially I would like to change the navbars color to #77bbb0. I can show more code, but I think for the sake of clarity, you can check out the code here: http://startbootstrap.com/blog-home.
Thank for helping a design noob!
The easiest way is to give the HTML element in question an id and then add the CSS rule:
#the_id_i_gave_it { background:#77bbb0; }
However, if you can't or don't want to edit the markup, you can chain together the various classes on the element to give your rule high specificity:
.navbar.navbar-inverse.navbar-fixed-top { background:#77bbb0; }
As long as those classes don't change that should be specific enough to get just the div you want and no others.
