Tips for adjusting the size of nav-pills when collapsing with bootstrap 5

I'm attempting to utilize Bootstrap to create active classes that display a nav-pill/container around the active section of my webpage. It works well on larger screens, but on smaller screens with the hamburger menu active, the nav-pill stretches across the entire div/container instead of wrapping only around the word, similar to how it appears on larger screens.

For a demonstration of the issue, you can visit this CodePen with filler content: https://codepen.io/100emoji/pen/mdxdpzp

Below is the code for the navigation bar:

Answer №1

https://example.com/navbar-containers

This could be the solution you've been searching for. It involves enclosing a container around your UL to manage the size.

Another approach is to utilize the bootstrap width classes on each individual <li> element like so:

<li class="nav-item w-50">

Alternatively, you can achieve this through CSS styling on <li> tags:

li {
    width: 30%;
}
