I have a website that I am developing utilizing the Bootstrap 4 framework. I am trying to create a navbar with the navbar-brand in the center. I was able to place the navbar-brand in the center with a navbar-nav on each side of the navbar-brand. Please find below the code that I utilized. My issue is that the navbar-brand is vertically aligned in the center of the navbar.
How can I align the navbar-brand to the bottom of the navbar and have the excess stick out at the top of the navbar without adjusting the margins?
#hdrContainer {
background-color: #0a3782;
}
.container {
background-color: inherit;
}
#tblHeader {
width: 100%;
/*font-size: .8125rem;*/
font-size: 1rem;
text-align: right;
color: #ffffff;
font-weight: bold;
}
#tblHeader tr {
height: 50px;
}
.breadcrumb {
background-color: inherit;
margin-bottom: initial;
font-weight: bold;
}
.breadcrumb .active {
color: inherit;
}
#socialbrand {
text-align: right;
}
#mainNavbar {
background-color: gray;
}
#mainNavbar .container .navbar {
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
max-height: 40px;
}
.navbar-brand {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
margin-right: initial;
}
.form-control {
width: 200px;
}
.btn-outline-navy {
color: #f6b40e;
background-color: transparent;
background-image: none;
border-color: #f6b40e;
