How do I fix the alignment of navigation items?
I'm having a problem where I can't see the Input text align with the rest of the navigation bar. Using margin
or padding
doesn't seem to push it at all and I was able to get 3 pixels with help line-height:0
, but that wasn't enough. Ideas?
This is the project I am trying to achieve.

There are a couple of issues to fix first.
1 <img>
is a self-closing tag, remove </img>
from <img src="Images/Triangle.PNG"> </img>
or use<img src="" />
2 Missing closure >
here<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-triangle-bottom" </span>
3 Remove )
from<a href="Evosite.html" class="NavHome" id="Current")>
The best way to get the login button in the right place is to slightly adjust the structure to move it next to the navigation bar. And don't use <h1>
for it, as it's not a title.
I rewrote most of the CSS, removed all unnecessary styles, looked at the details and demo below.

You had several problems with your HTML / CSS. I managed to simplify and fix them, check the script
Also, here's the code snippets ...
CSS
/* CSS Document */
.wrapper {
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
.VictoriaHouse {
padding-left:270px;
padding-top:20px;
padding-bottom:20px;
padding-right:140px;
float:left;
}
/* NavBar formatting */
.NavBar {
float:inline-block;
text-decoration:none;
}
ul {
display:inline-block;
padding-top:45px;
}
li {
display: inline;
}
a {

}
a:hover {
