Responsive Navbar with CSS
Question
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 class="company-name" title="Return to Home Page"><a class="company-link" href="">URL Saver</a></h2> <div class="menu"> <a href="" class="nav-link" href="/">Login</a> <a href="" class="nav-link" href="/">Logout</a> <a href="" class="nav-link" href="/">Profile</a> </div> </nav>

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%;
}
}

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 class="navbar"> <ul class="navbar-nav"> <li class="nav-links">Home</li> <li class="nav-links">About</li> <li class="nav-links">Services</li> <li class="nav-links">Email</li> <li class="nav-links">Something</li> <li class="nav-links">SignUp</li> <li class="nav-links">Login</li> <li class="nav-links">Loremips</li> </ul> </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 class="company-name" title="Return to Home Page"><a class="company-link" href="">URL Saver</a></h2> <div class="menu"> <a class="nav-link" href="#">Login</a> <a lass="nav-link" href="#">Logout</a> <a class="nav-link" href="#">Profile</a> </div> </nav>

The simple solution was just to input flex-direction: column; at the specific width. Then just a little CSS manipulation to make it all nice.
