How To Add an Input Field in Navbar
Step 1) Add HTML:
Example
<div class="topnav">
<a class="active" href="#home">Home</a>
<a href="#about">About</a>
<a href="#contact">Contact</a>
<div class="search-container">
<form action="/action_page.php">
<input type="text" placeholder="Search.." name="search">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Step 2) Add CSS:
Example
* {box-sizing: border-box;}
/* Style the navbar */
.topnav {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #e9e9e9;
}
/* Navbar links */
.topnav a {
float: left;
display: block;
color: black;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size:
17px;
}
/* Navbar links on mouse-over */
.topnav a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
color: black;
}
/* Active/current
link */
.topnav a.active {
background-color: #2196F3;
color: white;
}
/* Style the
input container */
.topnav
.search-container {
float: right;
}
/* Style the input
field inside the navbar */
.topnav input[type=text] {
padding: 6px;
margin-top: 8px;
font-size: 17px;
border: none;
}
/* Style the button inside the input container */
.topnav .search-container button {
float: right;
padding: 6px;
margin-top: 8px;
margin-right: 16px;
background: #ddd;
font-size: 17px;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
.topnav
.search-container button:hover {
background: #ccc;
}
/*
Add responsiveness - On small screens, display the navbar vertically instead
of horizontally */
@media
screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.topnav .search-container {
float: none;
}
.topnav a, .topnav input[type=text], .topnav
.search-container button {
float: none;
display: block;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding:
14px;
}
.topnav input[type=text] {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
}
