How to add a search box inside a responsive navigation menu?
To add a search box, use the input type text on a web page. Set the search box inside the navigation menu. Let us first set how to create a responsive navigation menu and place the search box.
Set the Navigation Menu and Search box in it
To begin with, use the <nav> to create a navigation menu. The links are set using the <a> element. Set input type="text" for the search box. This adds the search box inside the navigation menu −
<nav>
<a class="links selected" href="#">
<i class="fa fa-fw fa-home"></i> Home
</a>
<a class="links" href="#">
<i class="fa fa-fw fa-user"></i> Login
</a>
<a class="links" href="#">
<i class="fa fa-user-circle-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> Register
</a>
<a class="links" href="#">
<i class="fa fa-fw fa-envelope"></i> Contact Us
</a>
<a class="links" href="#">
<i class="fa fa-info-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i> More Info
</a>
<input type="text" placeholder="Search Here.." />
</nav>
Place the Navigation Links
The menu links are styled and placed in the center. The underline is removed using the text-decoration property with the value none −
.links {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px;
color: rgb(178, 137, 253);
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 17px;
}
Style the Search box
The search box is placed on the right using the float property with the value right.
input[type="text"] {
float: right;
padding: 6px;
margin-top: 8px;
margin-right: 8px;
font-size: 17px;
}
Make the Navigation Menu Responsive
The Media Queries forms the responsiveness of the navigation menu. Media Queries are used when you need to set a style to different devices such as tablet, mobile, desktop, etc. When the screen size gets smaller than 830px, the display is set to block for the links −
@media screen and (max-width: 830px) {
.links {
display: block;
}
Example
The following is the code to add a search box inside a responsive navigation menu −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" >
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Document</title>
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"
integrity="sha384-wvfXpqpZZVQGK6TAh5PVlGOfQNHSoD2xbE+QkPxCAFlNEevoEH3Sl0sibVcOQVnN" crossorigin="anonymous" />
<style>
body {

}
input[type="text"] {
float: right;
padding: 6px;
margin-top: 8px;
margin-right: 8px;
font-size: 17px;
}
.selected {
background-color: rgb(0, 18, 43);
}
@media screen and (max-width: 830px) {
.links {
display: block;
}
input[type="text"] {
