Trouble aligning Google translate dropdown menu.

LeonLatex · March 7, 2023

As told in the heading, am I struggling with a dropdown menu that won't place where I want. I want it to move all over to the right, but for some reason, it won't.
The CSS can be a little messy since I have changed it forth and back in many attempts to make it work. Thanks for trying! 😊👍

Here are some of the HTML and CSS

HTML
<body>
<div class="header_container">
<div class="logo_bar">
<div class="logo">
<div id="google_translate_element" style="margin-top:11px; margin-left: 32px;">
       <script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'no', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
</div>
   </div>
   </div>
<div class="menu_bar" style="background-color: #ffffff;">
   <div class="menu">
<a href='<?=$HOST?>index.php' class='w3-bar-item w3-button w3-round-tiny w3-hover-white'>Hjem</a>

<a href='<?=$HOST?>index.php' class='w3-bar-item w3-button w3-round-tiny w3-hover-white'>Hjem</a>

<a href='<?=$HOST?>index.php' class='w3-bar-item w3-button w3-round-tiny w3-hover-white'>Hjem</a>
</div></div></div>

CSS
div.logo_bar {
   background-color: #003333;
   /*box-shadow: rgba(99, 99, 99, 0.2) 0px 2px 8px 0px;*/
   margin: auto;
   margin-top: 0px;
   width: 100%;
   height: 64px;
   padding: 0px;
   position: fixed;
}
div.logo {
   display: inline-flex;
   flex-direction: row;
   align-items: baseline;
   background-image: url("../images/logo_bg_original.png");
   width: 300px;
   height: 35px;
   margin-top:9px;
   margin-left: 10px;
   position: static;
}
div.translate {
   display:inline;
   flex-direction: row;
   align-items: baseline;
   width: 300px;
   height: 45px;
   margin-top:3px;
   margin-left: 10px;
   position: static;
}
div.menu_bar {
   font-size: 13px;
   /*font-weight: bold;*/
   background-color: #ffffff;
   box-shadow: rgba(99, 99, 99, 0.2) 0px 2px 8px 0px;
   margin: auto;
   margin-top: 54px;
   width: 100%;
   height: 50px;
   position: fixed;
}
div.menu {
   background-color: #ffffff;
   display: inline-flex;
   flex-direction: row;
   align-items: middle;
   margin-left: 0px;
   margin-top: 8px;
}

Your tag nesting seems strange. Why is your google translate box a child of your logo? Your use of flex seems off as well.

Your logo a translate elements should probably be siblings, both children of the logo_bar element. You could make logo_bar then either flex or grid to allocate most of the space to your logo div, and the minimum space to the translate element.

HTML:

<div class="header_container">
  <div class="logo_bar">
    <div class="logo"></div>
    <div id="google_translate_element">Google translate box</div>
  </div>
  <div class="menu_bar" style="background-color: #ffffff;">
    <div class="menu">
      <a href='<?=$HOST?>index.php' class='w3-bar-item w3-button w3-round-tiny w3-hover-white'>Hjem</a>
      <a href='<?=$HOST?>index.php' class='w3-bar-item w3-button w3-round-tiny w3-hover-white'>Hjem</a>
      <a href='<?=$HOST?>index.php' class='w3-bar-item w3-button w3-round-tiny w3-hover-white'>Hjem</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

CSS:

div.logo_bar {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: auto max-content;
    background-color: #003333;
    margin: auto;
    margin-top: 0px;
    width: 100%;
    height: 64px;
    padding: 0px;
    position: fixed;
}
div.logo {
    width: 300px;
    height: 35px;
    margin-top:9px;
    margin-left: 10px;
}
div#google_translate_element {
    width: 300px;
    height: 45px;
    margin-top:3px;
    margin-left: 10px;
    color: white;
}
div.menu_bar {
    font-size: 13px;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    box-shadow: rgba(99, 99, 99, 0.2) 0px 2px 8px 0px;
    margin: auto;
    margin-top: 54px;
    width: 100%;
    height: 50px;
    position: fixed;
}
div.menu {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    display: inline-flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    align-items: middle;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-top: 8px;
}
