Struggles with arranging HTML header components

I've been attempting to insert a Twitter logo into the header of my website (which is styled using Bootstrap CSS), but unfortunately, it's causing some alignment issues. My initial goal was to position them next to each other, however, they ended up being stacked one underneath the other instead. Here is what I tried initially:

<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
    <div class="navbar-header">
      <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="navbar">
        <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      </button>
      <a class="navbar-brand csh-top-link" href="index.html">Cardshifter</a>

    </div>
    <div id="navbar" class="collapse navbar-collapse">
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
          <li><img src="images/logos/Twitter_logo_blue.png" style="height: 1.5%; width: 1.5%;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Cardshifter" class="navbar-brand csh-top-link" style="font-size: 1.2em; margin-top: 2px;">@Cardshifter</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div><!--/.nav-collapse -->
</nav>

This is how it shows up:

For my second attempt, I switched <div> for <ul>:

<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
    <div class="navbar-header">
      <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="navbar">
        <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      </button>
      <a class="navbar-brand csh-top-link" href="index.html">Cardshifter</a>          
    </div>
    <div id="navbar" class="collapse navbar-collapse">
      <div class="nav navbar-nav">
        <img src="images/logos/Twitter_logo_blue.png" style="height: 1.5%; width: 1.5%;">
      </div>
      <div>
        <a href="https://twitter.com/Cardshifter" class="navbar-brand csh-top-link" style="font-size: 1.2em; margin-top: 2px;">@Cardshifter</a></li>
      </div>
    </div><!--/.nav-collapse -->
</nav>

It appeared slightly better with this adjusted layout:

I spent time adjusting the CSS margins and padding of both the <ul> and <div> versions, but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any improvement. The ideal arrangement should display like this:

[Cardshifter] | [Twitter logo] | [@Cardshifter]

Answer №1

If you want to align list items in a simple way, consider using a HTML list!

HTML:

<ul class="navigation">
    <li>
        Icon for home
    </li>
    <li>
        Link to homepage
    </li>
</ul>

CSS:

.navigation {
    /* Keeping things organized */
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0;
}

.navigation > li {
    display: inline-block;
}

Answer №2

After @kleinfreund provided the correct solution, a bug was discovered in a comment on the question. This bug, when combined with the accepted answer, completely resolved the issue:

The correct answer is displayed below. Additionally, there were concerns raised about using percentage inline widths for images. It's recommended to avoid this practice and specify the exact pixel size using the HTML height and width attributes instead. - Matt Lambert (3 hours ago)

To address this feedback, I made the following changes to the code which resulted in everything working as expected:

<div id="navbar" class="collapse navbar-collapse">
    <ul class="csh-twitter nav navbar-nav">
        <li>
            <img src="images/logos/Twitter_logo_blue.png" style="height: 25px; width: 30px; margin-top: 10px;">
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="https://twitter.com/Cardshifter" class="navbar-brand csh-top-link" style="font-size: 1.4em; margin-top: 2px;">@Cardshifter</a>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div><!--/.nav-collapse -->

This adjustment successfully resolved the issue as shown upon rendering.
