I am trying to create a nav bar where my logo is in the middle and there are nav buttons on both sides, however, I seriously have no clue as how to accomplish this.

<style>
    .navigation-left,
    .navigation-logo,
    .navigation-right {
        float: left;
        width: 33.33%;
    }

    .logo {
        margin: 0 auto;
    }
</style>

<nav>
    <div class="navigation-left">   
        <ul>
            <li><a href="#"></a></li>
            <li><a href="#"></a></li>
            <li><a href="#"></a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>

    <div class="navigation-logo">
        <div class="logo">
            <a href="/"><img src="logoimage.jpg" alt="logoimage"></a>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="navigation-right">
        <ul>
            <li><a href="#"></a></li>
            <li><a href="#"></a></li>
        </ul>   
    </div>
</nav>

Try this out.

To make margin:0 auto; working you have to specify a width for .logo, or am I wrong?
But since <img> is an inline element you can simply leave off the .logo <div> and add the following CSS:

.navigation-logo {
    text-align:center;
}

You are right. The width needs to be specified.

text-align: center should work too.
