CSS Framework Basics Prototyping with Bootstrap Building a Fixed Navbar

How come my navbar-toggle class links do not expand correctly when I click the hamburger icon when browser is xs or sm?

When my browser window is xs or sm and I click the hamburger icons, the links expand but they expand next to the navbar-brand class and not below it.

In the tutorial, when the instructor clicks the hamburger icon, the links appear on a line below the brand/icon. However when I click mine, they appear on the same line but right after the brand/icon. I've been following along with the tutorial, but typing my own content, so, assuming I haven't made mistakes, it should work as it does in the tutorial.

Anyone else experience this problem?

Hey Michael. For me it was an issue of forgetting to add jquery to the top of my page. (I'm using hosted libraries vs downloading it all locally).

However if you're following along using the provided project files you should have jqeury already.

Post a code snippit if you're still stuck.

I'm having the same problem. Using Chrome and the project files. When reduced to the mobile icon the drop down stays next to the Ribbit and does not drop down. Any specific help is appreciated,

Really weird issue I'm getting the same results, with updated version of Google Chrome, it just lined up against the side of the logo.

<EDIT:> https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/navbarbootsrap This is the best answer to how to fix it, you have to wrap everything in another div with class navbar-header. Robert goes on to explain the reasoning really well

Had the same alignment issues with the nav items not being placed underneath the line under "Ribit" logo.

Robert's answer in the link you shared solved it for me. Thanks!

I figured it out add this code to your css !~~~ @media screen and (max-width: 730px) { a { display:block;
} }

I guess we are both missing something because all the solutions listed in this thread and all the rest do not work for me including the "navbar-header" class in bootstrap.

i opened up the "final" file that Gil Hernandez provides as a download with the class but his code doesn't work either.

Nothing more frustrating than the teachers code not working.

I guess i will remove the bootstrap sm and xs and work on the media query in the "mystyles.css" until I get it.

should be good practice.

Tony, did you ever figure this out?

Guil Hernandez could you offer some help? as i am having the same issue with Google Chrome!, works fine on safari?
