I'm a brand new css programmer. I am trying to create a text search box that fits inside my Navigation bar on the top of every page on my site.
My nav bar has 5 tabs that align to the left of the page. then immediately after the FAQ tab a few pixel space then the text box should fit right in the purple nav bar. The text box, SUBMIT button and ADVANCED link. how to I get this top happen.
When I resize the Firefox 23.01 browser window, the text box moves out of the navigation bar, and drops under the nav bar into the yellow body content area. .
I know this may be a real obvious rookie move but I am very new. Any help would be great. I've been working on this for hours.!
here is the css code.
<style>
html {background: yellow;
width: 100%;}
nav { background: blue;
height: 2.3em;
width: 100%;
}
ul, li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
float: left;
font-size: 1.040em;}
ul {
background: purple;
height: 2em;
width: 100%;}
li a {
display: block;
line-height: 2em;
padding: 0 1.2em;
