Combining jQuery's UI widget with my topNav disrupts horizontal alignment

Within my web application, I have integrated jQuery and jQuery UI (specifically versions 1.10.2 and 1.10.4). To style the components, I utilize the CSS found in 

/js/jquery-ui-1.10.4/css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.10.4.min.css
from the jQuery site. Prior to implementing the jQuery-based autocomplete feature, my topNav bar displayed as follows:

MyProfile         Link1          Link2      |   search box           |     Logout

The search box was set to a width of 300px, with a font size of 12px. The container div had a width of 700px. Here is a snippet illustrating the structure prior to adding autocomplete support:

<div class="topNav">
    <div class="left">
          <a href...>MyProfile</a>>&nbsp&nbsp
          <a href...>Link1</a>>&nbsp&nbsp
          <a href...>Link2</a>>&nbsp&nbsp
    </div>
    <input id="searchBox" name="searchBox" type="search" >
    <div class="right">
          <a href...>Logout</a>
    </div>
</div>

Everything was nicely aligned within the topNav section at that time.

After introducing jQuery autocomplete functionality, the layout has shifted slightly. Here's how it looks now:

<div class="topNav">
    <div class="left">
          <a href...>MyProfile</a>>&nbsp&nbsp
          <a href...>Link1</a>>&nbsp&nbsp
          <a href...>Link2</a>>&nbsp&nbsp
    </div>

     <!-- Wrapping the input searchBox in a new div -->
     <div class="ui-widget">
           <input id="searchBox" name="searchBox" type="search" >
     </div>


    <div class="right">
          <a href...>Logout</a>
    </div>
</div>

As a result, the search box now appears on a separate line, causing the alignment to shift:

MyProfile         Link1          Link2      
 |   search box           |                                                  Logout

If anyone can provide guidance on how to realign these elements horizontally post jQuery autocomplete implementation, it would be greatly appreciated.

Answer №1

I found the solution by following the advice given in the top-rated answer on this Stack Overflow post. Implementing those changes resolved my issue. Additionally, I was able to customize the CSS properties of .ui-widget (the jQuery div element) in my application to further address any problems caused by including that dependency.
