navbar - classic

for making navbar first we must add html elements to file

<div class="topnav">  
  <a href="#home">Home</a>  
  <a href="#news">News</a>  
  <a href="#contact">Contact</a>  
  <a href="#about">About</a>  
</div>

!

font and margin

we can specify what font family we want and we add margin: 0; so that default browser margin go away

body {
  margin: 0;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

!

background color and overflow

now we set background for our nav, also we add overflow: hidden; so content form next to navbar dose not come to navbar area

.topnav {
  background-color: #333;
  overflow: hidden;
}

styling link elements

now we need to style <a> elements

.topnav a {
  float: left;
  color: #f2f2f2;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 14px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 17px;
}

!

• float: left; make our element float to left we can also make it float to right with float:rigt;
• color make color of our text what we want
• text-align: center; make text centered in their container between the padding
• padding: 14px 16px; make container for our text so it can sit in it
• text-decoration: none; remove the blue text color and under line
• font-size: we tell browse how big our font must be

styling the hover
