Issue positioning a position: absolute element in Tailwindcss - css

I'm working on this TailwindCSS project where I have a logo to the left and navigation to the right. Both of them are centered. Because the logo is position:absolute; the navigation is behind the logo. I want them to be side by side. I'm using flex. Is it possible? I'm not sure if grid will be a better solution.
This is the link to tailwind playground.

The simplest solution would be to apply padding-right to the logo.
Change this...
<span class="logo flex items-center">...</span>
...to this.
<span class="logo flex items-center pr-10">...</span>
See the snippet.

I think the best option is to put the logo inside the <ul>...</ul> inside an extra list (<li>) item. This way it will allways be next to your homepage link, and won't overlap. You will have to add the width of the image to the <li> element.
An example is seen here:

Bootstrap Nav fixed-top & layout issues

I'm working on a mockup but keep running into issues with the navbar and main content layout. The page needs to look like the mockup image below on desktop.
I've tried everything I can think of and read up on the bootstrap site but continue running into problems.
First the navbar should be fixed so it scrolls with you. I've copied from one of their templates but it doesn't scroll like the demo unless I change it to pull-right. But if I use pull-right it removes the top spacing and first container spacing needed. I've tried the body tag padding-top but all it does is create more space between the nav and main container not above the nav.
The other issue is the row and column layout in desktop. The col-md-8 doesn't line up with the other col-md-4. It looks ok in mobile with 320 wide.
I'm pulling my hair and not sure what needs to fixed. If anyone can spare some time and have a look I'd really appreciate it.
Live links to the files are below.

link to css override
On your CSS override you have the attribute .navbar (position:relative;) This overrides your navbar fixed top property.
As far as your col-md-4 goes..you have it wrapped in an html descriptor..which is this: <!-- -->. This just gives descriptions of what html attribute is listed. These descriptors are on a lot of your actual html and need to be removed in order for the code to work properly. Remember though some of them are actually descriptors...like <!--fixed navbar-->
hii just checked your live website all problems is the way you are using div tags .. so for first section of image and nav bar it should be in one div tag
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-4">IMAGE</div>
<div class="col-md-8">your nav bar </div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
Banner
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="col-md-4">
HR MARUTIS STUFF
</DIV>
<div class="col-md-8">
HI LOUREM THINGY
</div>
</div>
and soo on
HOPE THIS HELP IN YOUR FORMATTING OF PAGE
Everything seems to be fixed now. Perhaps the biggest issue I was having was getting the navbar in proper locations both desktop & mobile. Originally I was using an override for .nav to modify the margin in order to get the placement right in desktop, but in mobile view it would be in a different position, not to mention it kept sharing the margin ratios of 80px top and 120px right. This would force the toggled menu to be 80px further down rather default 0px. I couldn't figure a way around this so I figured why not try adding a div tag just for the margin spacing. Apparently this seemed to work after adding new info into the media queries. Also fixed a spacing issue when in tablet widths with nav and hero image.
As for the rest of the layout, I used col-md-3 and col-md-7 which pretty much lined everything up right away except for some padding needed. Everything else like h1 and h3 I used a simple class for mobile to adjust the margins again.
If there's an easier way or more efficient way of coding this I'm open to suggestions if anyone has some. Updated Live Link

Foundation 5 CSS Z-index Top Bar dropdown menu issue

Hi all,
I needed to add z-index:2 to the header elements, now the topbar nav drop down is appearing under.
I tried to add {position:relative;z-index:999} on many elements, but it doesn't work. Any hints?
I am using CSS, margin is added to show the problem
Code here:
[HTML and CSS][2]
[2]: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/yYKamg
Change this: <div class="row show-for-medium-up" style="position:relative;z-index:2">
To this:
<div class="row show-for-medium-up" style="position:relative;z-index:3">
The z-index: of 2 on this div is placing it in front of the navigation dropdown. So I think you need to move the container element of the dropdown nav up a level.
<div class="row show-for-medium-up" style="position:relative;z-index:99">
This fixed it, Setting the parent container to a higher z-index. I am pretty sure I tried this more than once yesterday. Thanks guys. I will keep you posted if anything pops up.

Using horizontal scroll cards in mobile using ionic

I am just starting with ionic. I am trying to use the Ionic Horizontal Scroll Cards. It looks like this, codepen: http://codepen.io/drewrygh/pen/jEJGLx
Now when i am using it in a template which has this structure:
<ion-view title="Videos">
<ion-content>
<hscroller>
<hcard ng-repeat="item in items" index="{{$index}}" desc="{{item.desc}}" image="{{item.image}}"></hcard>
</hscroller>
</ion-content>
</ion-view>
But the scroll doesn't work on mobile, while searching i found that the hscroller element should be placed inside an ion-pane. But when i do that the list appears for a micro second and then disappears. I can't figure out why.
code pen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/RWRzPj
Here i have just added <ion-content> and <ion-pane> tags around hscroller.
Why not use a <ion-scroll> with horizontal scroll. You can easily create horizontal card view with that.
PS: the last code pen you provided. You needed to add
.scroll{
height:100%
}
CodePen
Though this does not solve the scroll issue, for that I suggest the above.
ion-scroll
ion-scroll have support for horizonal scrolling.
Use
<ion-scroll direction="x" style="white-space: nowrap"></ion-scroll>
to replace your code
<hscroller></hscroller>

custom shape image container

Is there any way to have a custom-shape image container? To use something instead of <div />?
The problem appears when I need to add corners on top of the #content-box ( http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/8343/screenshot20111027at163.png ). The corner-images are using only half of the block element, the rest (the pink alpha-background) are blocking the active-elements underneath it.
Is there any workaround for this?
To answer my own questions:
It is not possible to have a custom shape HTML element without parent block element holding it anyway, e.g. in case of SVG.
However, the one workaround that I've managed to come across is magic CSS pointer-events rule, which, as you might have guessed already, helps to click through the element.
pointer-events: none;
That did solve my issue.
It's not possible to have custom shaped containers. You could do this though using <div> wrappers, each containing a different background image. For example:
html
<div id="content-wrapper">
<div id="content-box">
<!-- Upload photo content box --->
</div>
</div>
css
#content-wrapper,
#content-box{
width:500px;
height:500px;
}
#content-wrapper{background:url('images/four-corners.png') no-repeat}
#content-box{background:url('images/octagon.png') no-repeat}
This way the images won't block any active elements on the page.

Applying image rounded corners to <li>

I was using jQuery plugins to create a rounded corner for my <li>, but it was not working on a lot of browsers and didn't support mouse over.
I am wondering what is the best way to use two images (left corner and right corner) as the left and right side with using <li>.
The construct that I have seen used most for that is a span inside a link.
so something like:
<li><a><span>Your text here</span></a></li>
you can then target the span and the link using the hover state of the link:
a:hover{some rules here}
a:hover span{some more rules here}
that keeps it kinda semantic, and doesn't add to much junk to the page.
You could put Divs inside your li's like so:
<li>
<div class="lefcorner"></div>
<div class='liContent'>Foo</div>
<div class='rightcorner'></div>
</li>
That way you will both keep your semantics and will also have the cross-browser support of styling DIVs.
