The navbar is one of the most important design elements on any website. It helps users navigate your site, and it can also be used to convey important information.

A responsive navbar should be easy to use on any device, and it should also look great no matter what size screen it’s being viewed on. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a responsive navbar using nothing but CSS.

Responsive Navbar standard

The code for the responsive navbar shown in the demo above is as follows:

nav { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; } nav > li { display: inline-block; margin: 0 10px; } nav > li:hover { background-color: #ddd; } nav > li.active { background-color: #fff; color: #000; } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { nav > li { margin: 0; } nav > li:hover { background-color: #fff; } nav > li.active { background-color: #000; color: #fff; } }

The first thing you’ll need to do is create a nav element. This will be the container for your navbar. Next, you’ll need to create a list of li elements. These will be the individual links in your navbar. Each li element should have a display of inline-block . This will ensure that the links are displayed horizontally, and that they take up the same amount of space on the screen. You can also add margin and padding to the li elements. This will help to control the spacing between the links. By default, the links will have a background-color of #ccc . However, you can change this by adding a :hover selector. This will apply a different background-color when the mouse is hovered over the link. You can also use the :active selector to change the background-color when the link is clicked. Finally, you can use the @media screen and (max-width: 767px) rule to change the layout of the navbar when the screen is smaller than 767 pixels. This will ensure that the navbar is displayed as a single row of links, instead of as a multi-column layout.
