Menu
Step by step guide for the implementation: Step 1: Include Bootstrap and jQuery CDN into the <head> tag before all other stylesheets to load our CSS. Step 2: Add <div> tag in the HTML body with class container. Step 3: Now add any icon that you want using the below syntax, where the name is the name of glyphicon.
To create a search bar in the navigation bar is easy, just like creating another option in the navbar that will search the database. You need to be careful about the timing of placing the search bar. Make sure separately placed in the navbar. To create a navbar containing a search bar you will need HTML and CSS.
I'm running BS3 on a dev site and the following produces the effect/layout you're requesting. Of course you'll need the glyphicons set up in BS3.
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-static-top" role="navigation">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-ex1-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" rel="home" href="/" title="Aahan Krish's Blog - Homepage">ITSMEEE</a>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-ex1-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li><a href="/topic/notes/">/notes</a></li>
<li><a href="/topic/dev/">/dev</a></li>
<li><a href="/topic/good-reads/">/good-reads</a></li>
<li><a href="/topic/art/">/art</a></li>
<li><a href="/topic/bookmarks/">/bookmarks</a></li>
<li><a href="/all-topics/">/all</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 pull-right">
<form class="navbar-form" role="search">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" name="srch-term" id="srch-term">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
UPDATE: See JSFiddle
This is the closest I could get without adding any custom CSS (this I'd already figured as of the time of asking the question; guess I've to stick with this):
And the markup in use:
<form class="navbar-form navbar-left" role="search">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
</form>
PS: Of course, that can be fixed by adding a negative margin-left (-4px) on the button, and removing the border-radius on the sides input and button meet. But the whole point of this question is to get it to work without any custom CSS.
You could use the segmented buttons example from Bootstrap 3:
<form action="" class="navbar-form navbar-right">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="Search" placeholder="Search..." class="form-control" />
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-info">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I tried @PhilNicholas 's code and got the same problem of @its_me said in the comments that search bar show up on the next line of navbar, and I found that form need to be added an attribute width.
<form role="search" style="width: 15em; margin: 0.3em 2em;">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
This one I implemented for my website , If some one got more no's of menu item and longer search bar can use this
Here is the code
<style>
.navbar-inverse .navbar-nav > li > a {
color: white !important;
}
.navbar-inverse .navbar-nav > li > a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
.navbar-collapse ul li {
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
.navbar-collapse ul li a {
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
.navbar-brand img {
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
}
.navbar-inverse {
background-color: #3A1B37;
}
