I have modified my bootstrap skeleton top nav to this: http://jsfiddle.net/55dTU/
<div class="navbar navbar-static-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<a class="btn btn-navbar" data-target=".nav-collapse" data-toggle="collapse">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</a>
<a class="brand" href="/">SketchFemme</a>
<div class="brand slogan">
<span>pencial mileage</span><br>
<span>one curve at a time</span>
</div>
<div class="container nav-collapse">
<ul class="nav">
<li>Artists</li>
<li>Onion Skin</li>
<li>News</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav" id="account_corner">
homonolocus
<span class="divider">|</span>
Settings
<span class="divider">|</span>
Sign out
</ul>
</div><!--/.nav-collapse -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
Bootstrap .container sets the width to 1170px. Can someone please tell me why the .container.nav-collapse div can be nested inside .navbar-inner .container and somehow overlap the .brand and slogan? I would think since every instance of .container is the width of 1170px, that the .nav links would be forced into the next line instead of being on the same line as the brand and slogan.
My question isn't so much that I need something to be fixed. Rather I'm asking for an explanation of why this works. Why can one .container contain another .container, of the same width right on top of it. I was looking for a position:absolute which would allow that, but I don't find any. How does the ul.nav know where to indent?... there is no left padding and no left margin, and the containing element spans the entire width of the navbar. I want to know how this is being achieved.
I updated your fiddle ; I added
.navbar-static-top .container,
.navbar-fixed-top .container,
.navbar-fixed-bottom .container {
width: 940px;
height: 1px; /* These */
clear:left;
}
It makes the container act like a real block: its display is set to block by default, but as its height was 0px, it didn't act like a block but rather as an inline-block.
The clear:left; also cancel any floating conflict (I put both in the fiddle without thinking, but hey, it's 6:30 am here in France).
Since you are using a responsive navbar, is there a reason why you aren't also using a responsive CSS file so the navbar collapses? I replaced your CSS file with
#import url('http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.1/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css');
In the account_corner div you have ul but no list items. I replaced the ul with a plain div. Also, if you are following the example from http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/components.html#navbar the div with your main links should have these classes
<div class="container nav-collapse">
Which partly answers your question.
This is the result http://jsfiddle.net/panchroma/ruAmz/ ?
Hope his helps get you closer to what you want!

The picture is the layout that I want but when you hover, everything gets messed up. The div's start shifting around and moving horizontally when the next div italicizes. How can I maintain this exact layout 100% of the time?
.project-link {
font-family: 'UtopiaStd';
color:#010202;
font-size:5.6vw;
white-space:nowrap;
text-decoration:none;
margin-right: 3%;
line-height:125%;
border-bottom: solid transparent 2px; }
https://jsfiddle.net/zjkouzbo/1/
Solution 1:
You had the right idea with trying white-space:nowrap. To keep your first two links together and keep them on one line, wrap them in a parent element and apply the white-space:nowrap to that parent element. If you have that on both the anchor elements and the parent elements, then you won't break the lines in the middle of a link or between them.
<div class="line">
<a class="project-link" id="one" href="#modal1">Maru speaker design <span> (1) </span> </a>
<a class="project-link" id="two" href="#modal2">Lights — Out <span> (2) </span></a>
</div>
CSS
.line{
white-space: nowrap;
}
New fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/zjkouzbo/2/
Solution 2:
Place a non-breaking space between the anchor elements that you want to keep on the same line using the HTML entity . Just make sure that you take out any other spaces, including line breaks, between the two elements. This makes your code a little annoying to read, but it doesn't suffer from the "div-itis" that solution one does.
<a class="project-link" id="one" href="#modal1">Maru speaker design <span> (1) </span> </a> <a class="project-link" id="two" href="#modal2">Lights — Out <span> (2) </span></a>
Second fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/zjkouzbo/3/
Since the <a> tag is an inline element, it will adjust which 'line' it is on as the parent block element changes width, or in your case the link width changes size. If you want to keep a the particular layout where link 1 and 2 are on the same line, but different lines from the rest, you should organize each group in a block element.
<div class="project_miniwrap">
<div class="group-block">
<a>Link 1</a>
<a>Link 2</a>
</div>
<div class="group-block">
<a>Link 3</a>
<a>Link 4</a>
</div>
</div>
adding
display:inline-block
and removing the line breaks you added to project-link solves the issue.

I try use after selector in my CSS code, but is not well centered.
I use Bootstrap. When I set after selector on li not a, content moves down.
This is my HTML code:
<nav class="navbar">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2">
<img src="/images/logo3.png" class="img-responsive">
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Prices</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Projects</li>
<li>Logout</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
And this is CSS code:
.navbar-nav li a::after {
content: "|" black;
}
.navbar-nav li:last-child a::after {
content: " ";
}
Here's working fiddle for you - jsFiddle -
FYI : need to expand the result section enough for your menu items to align on a single row.
PS : And I'm just hoping that you use my suggestion number 2 there ( the best would the third, but it depends on what kind of menu you need ). Using pseudo class to get those separators in your menu isn't a good practice. It could save the amount of HTML codes, but that's more like it when you use additional li between those menu items.
EXPLANATION
Your CSS was almost there, but you made a mistake.
content: "|" black;
You can't use CSS shorthand on the content attribute. And you need to give the ::after pseudo class padding-left to make it center-aligned.
Try above jsFiddle Hope this helps.
This is a comment, but I think it's the right answer so ^^
This seems very overcomplex. You should simply use display:inline on your ul's and then use padding for spacing between the list items. You can then float left and right the two individual lists respectively to get the positioning :).
I have the following structure within a bootstrap document -
<div class="col-lg-6 col-sm-6>
<ul class="stdULGrey st_tabs_ul">
<li class="st_li_first st_li_active">
<a href="#view_1" class="st_tab st_tab_first st_tab_active">
<span class="icoMore icoA"></span>
<span class="tabText">WANT TO KNOW MORE?</span></a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#view_2" class="st_tab">
<span class="icoWhereTo icoA"></span>
<span class="tabText">WHERE TO FIND US?</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
The span element - icoMore contains a background image - which I'd like to respond to the full width of thebootstrap parent - I have tried the following code -
.icoMore{background:url(../img/logos%20and%20icons/Wanttoknow_Icon_Off.png) no-repeat; min-width:100%; min-height:auto; display:block; }
But it displays at zero width and height - can anyone advise a solution?
Add display: block to span. It should be enough.
You'll need to add any character into your <span>, even a space, like:
<span> </span>

I have a JSFiddle set up here showing what is currently happening: http://jsfiddle.net/YX7T6/1/
This is the code:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>
CText
</li>
</ul>
<div class="pull-right">
<button class="btn btn-default btn-lg"> button1 </button>
<button class="btn btn-default btn-lg"> button2 </button>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
<div class="container">
<a href="#">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/g/150/150" class="img-thumbnail" style="margin-top:-130px">
</a>
</div>
I'm trying to get the image to show on top of the navigation not behind it as it is now. I've tried changing the z-index of the image to something higher but nothing has changed. What should I try next?
As the other answers mentioned, z-index only works on elements that have position. Applying z-index to an element that has no position will simply be ignored.
img {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
Will make the browser recognize the z-index attribute, and place the image above the nav menu. In the future whenever you're having issues with z-index not being recognized, the first thing you should do is check whether the elements in question have position.
However, in this specific case, rather than messing with negative margins, it may be simpler to do:
img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
}
Just add position like position:relative; to your element
if you plan to control it's z-index property

Alternatively, use position: absolute on the img and skip the z-index stuff.

I feel like a moron having to ask this, but I have always evaded CSS at all costs, and as I now find myself needing it again, I have been scavenging Google for an example with no luck.
Basically I have icons specific to each category, and would like to create a horizontal nav bar in CSS/HTML using these, but also displaying a text link under them as well. I have found snippets for doing one or the other, but every time I try and combine the two together, the entire page seems to breakdown.
Can anyone provide an example of how this can be done? If it helps, it would basically look like...
[-IMAGE-] [-IMAGE-] [-IMAGE-]
[-TEXT-] [-TEXT-] [-TEXT-]
The effect can be easily get through background-position in CSS with proper padding-top applied to the li elements:
background-position: top;
padding-top: 50px; /* Height of image */
Here is an example fiddle.
Update:
Here is the more descriptive fiddle with different images on different li elements.

<ul class="nav">
<li class="navitem">
