Responsive Navbar with CSS-CodePudding

I am trying to make my navbar responsive at 500px width using media queries without using the hamburger sign. I want to make the "menu" div that houses the links to be broken into a new line directly under the one with the "company-name" when the screen is reduced to anything under 500px. Anyone out here that can help?

#nav-bar {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  padding-left: 10px;
  background-color: #38b000;
  color: #FFFFFF
}

.company-name {
  font-size: 32px;
  flex: 1;
}

.menu {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-evenly;
  flex: 1;
  max-width: 20%;
  font-size: 18px;
  align-items: center;
}

<nav id="nav-bar">
  <h2  title="Return to Home Page"><a  href="">URL Saver</a></h2>
  <div >
    <a href=""  href="/">Login</a>
    <a href=""  href="/">Logout</a>
    <a href=""  href="/">Profile</a>
  </div>
</nav>

This seems to do as you require, though more information in the question is always useful; the code is explained in comments within the code:

/* custom CSS property: */
:root {
  --flex-direction-nav: row;
}

/* simple, naive CSS reset to minimise cross-browser issues by
   specifying the box-sizing algorithm, and removing margin and
   padding from elements: */
*,
 ::before,
 ::after {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

body {
  /* setting the font-size of the <body> to allow other font-sizes
     to be assigned based on the em (this is my preference, feel free
     to adjust to your own preferences): */
  font-size: 16px;
}

#nav-bar {
  display: flex;
  /* specifying the flex-direction to the value held in the custom CSS
     property-value: */
  flex-direction: var(--flex-direction-nav);
  /* assigning 'left over' space to be placed between the elements, not
     before, after and between: */
  justify-content: space-between;
  /* balancing the padding so the menu-bar looks well-proportioned and
     'balanced': */
  padding-inline: 10px;
  background-color: #38b000;
  color: #FFFFFF;
}

.company-name {
  /* 1em is 16px, 2em is 32px: */
  font-size: 2em;
  /* you had assigned a max-width of 20% to the .menu element; here I specified
     that the .company-name element should be four times larger than that '20%'
     element, which preserves the 20% while there is space but otherwise allows
     all elements to take the required space: */
  flex-grow: 4;
}

.menu {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  flex-grow: 1;
  font-size: 1.05em;
  gap: 1em;
  /* assigning 'left over' space to be placed between the elements: */
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
}

/* in screen media, when the max-width is 500px (or less): */
@media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
   /* we redefine the custom CSS property, which is automatically applied once it's
      changed: */
   :root {
    --flex-direction-nav: column;
  }
}

<nav id="nav-bar">
  <h2  title="Return to Home Page"><a  href="">URL Saver</a></h2>
  <div >
    <a  href="#">Login</a>
    <a lass="nav-link" href="#">Logout</a>
    <a  href="#">Profile</a>
  </div>
</nav>

At a particular width you can change flex-direction to column..

CodePudding user response：

you need to add this media in the last of you css file :

@media (max-width: 500px) {
  #nav-bar {
   flex-direction: column;
  }
  .menu {
   max-width: 35%;
  }
}

CodePudding user response：

You can achieve that with media queries by targeting the max-with of desired-size like shown in the example if the size of the browser goes below 1700x its gonna change its flex-direction to column and change the height to auto.

* {
  font-size: 40px;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.navbar-nav {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 2rem;
  background-color: gray;
}

.nav-links {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0.5rem;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1700px) {
  .navbar-nav {
    height: auto;
    flex-direction: column;
    background-color: gray;
  }
}

<body>
  <nav >
    <ul >
      <li >Home</li>
      <li >About</li>
