My current challenge involves customizing a Bootstrap 5 navbar to arrange three elements - a user avatar, a notifications panel, and a menu icon - in a horizontal layout. Despite my efforts, these elements are appearing in a vertical stack instead of horizontally. Below is the code snippet I'm working with:
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="9ffdf0f0ebecebedfeefdfaab1afb1ad">[email protected]</a>/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-EVSTQN3/azprG1Anm3QDgpJLIm9Nao0Yz1ztcQTwFspd3yD65VohhpuuCOmLASjC"
crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Material+Symbols+Outlined:opsz,wght,FILL,<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="93d4c1d2d7d3a1a3bdbda7ab">[email protected]</a>,100..700,0..1,-50..200" />
<style>
.nav-item{
display: inline-block;
}
</style>
<nav class="navbar navbar-light bg-light">
<div class="container">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
<h4>North</h4>
</a>
<ul class="navbar-nav ms-auto">
<li class="nav-item">
<a href="{% url 'Profile' %}">Avatar</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a style="text-decoration: none;" href="{% url 'Notifications' %}" type="button" data-bs-toggle="offcanvas" data-bs-target="#offcanvasTop" aria-controls="offcanvasTop">
<span class="material-symbols-outlined">
notifications
</span>
</a>
<div class="offcanvas offcanvas-top" tabindex="-1" id="offcanvasTop" aria-labelledby="offcanvasTopLabel">
<div class="offcanvas-header">
<h5 id="offcanvasTopLabel">Notifications</h5>
<button type="button" class="btn-close text-reset" data-bs-dismiss="offcanvas" aria-label="Close"></button>
</div>
<div class="offcanvas-body">
<div class="notification">
<a href="{{ notification.link }}">message</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a href="">
<span class="material-symbols-outlined">
menu
</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Despite ensuring that the navbar-nav
class is correctly applied and setting the list items (nav-item)
to display: inline-block
, the elements continue to stack vertically. I'm seeking advice on achieving the desired horizontal alignment for these elements within the navbar. Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated!
