9.3 Student Activity

Build a Responsive Navigation Bar Using Flexbox

  1. Step 1:

    • HTML Structure: Create an HTML file (flex-navbar-9.2.html) with a navigation bar that includes a logo and links:

      <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="basic.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="index.css" />
    <style>
    
      body {
        font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
      }
      @media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
        .container {
          flex-direction: column;
          gap: 10px;
        }
      }
    </style>
    <title>Document</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="logo">My Logo</div>
      <div class="home">Home</div>
      <div class="about">About</div>
      <div class="contact">Contact</div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

  2. Step 2:

    • Using Flexbox for Layout:

      • The .container uses Flexbox to arrange the logo and the div elements side-by-side on larger screens.

      • Set align-self to flex-end, flex-center, or flex-start to see the effect.

      • For smaller screens, media queries are used to stack the items vertically.

  3. Step 3:

    • Responsive Behavior: Test the layout by resizing the browser window. The layout should adjust from a horizontal layout on larger screens to a vertical stack on smaller screens.

  4. Step 4:

    • Use css-studentactivity-9.2.html to scale the flex-nav-links items individually using CSS styles of container class in index.css :

    • Adjust height and width properties to change the size of nav menu item (Home, About, Services, Contact)

    • Inspect the changes to the layout by resizing the value of the Height property of the container class attribute to less than 100%.
