Multiple navigations
You can place more than one navigation inside a navbar container. That way you can have a left aligned, a centered and a right aligned navigation inside the same navbar.
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-left">...</div>
<div class="uk-navbar-center">...</div>
<div class="uk-navbar-right">...</div>
</nav>
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="uk-navbar-right">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Click mode
A parent item inside the navbar can be enabled by either hovering or clicking the toggle. Just add the mode: click option to the uk-navbar attribute.
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar="mode: click">...</nav>
<nav class="uk-navbar-container uk-margin" uk-navbar="mode: click">
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Transparent modifier
When using an image or colored background for the hero section of your website, you might want to turn the navbar transparent. Just add the .uk-navbar-transparent class to the <nav> element. If necessary, add the .uk-light or .uk-dark class from the Inverse component to adjust the navbar’s color.
<nav class="uk-navbar-container uk-navbar-transparent" uk-navbar>...</nav>
<div class="uk-position-relative">
<img src="images/light.jpg" alt="">
<div class="uk-position-top">
<nav class="uk-navbar-container uk-navbar-transparent" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li class="uk-nav-header">Header</li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li class="uk-nav-divider"></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
Subtitle
To define a subtitle, create a <div> element inside an item’s <a> element. Add the .uk-navbar-subtitle class to another <div> element.
<li>
<a href="">
<div>
...
<div class="uk-navbar-subtitle"></div>
</div>
</a>
</li>
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li class="uk-active">
<a href="#">
<div>
Active
<div class="uk-navbar-subtitle">Subtitle</div>
</div>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<div>
Parent
<div class="uk-navbar-subtitle">Subtitle</div>
</div>
</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<div>
Item
<div class="uk-navbar-subtitle">Subtitle</div>
</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Content item
You can also add custom content to the navbar, like text, icons, buttons or forms. Add the .uk-navbar-item class to a <div> element that serves as a container for your content
<div class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<a href="" class="uk-navbar-item uk-logo"></a>
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">...</ul>
<div class="uk-navbar-item">...</div>
</div>
</div>
Add the .uk-logo class from the Utility component to an <a> or <div> element to indicate your brand.
<nav class="uk-navbar-container uk-margin" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<a class="uk-navbar-item uk-logo" href="#">Logo</a>
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li>
<a href="#">
<span class="uk-icon uk-margin-small-right" uk-icon="icon: star"></span>
Features
</a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="uk-navbar-item">
<div>Some <a href="#">Link</a></div>
</div>
<div class="uk-navbar-item">
<form action="javascript:void(0)">
<input class="uk-input uk-form-width-small" type="text" placeholder="Input">
<button class="uk-button uk-button-default">Button</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
Centered logo
You can create a split menu with a centered logo. Just add the uk-navbar-center-left class to one navbar and the uk-navbar-center-right class to another within the same navbar container. This will keep your logo centered and align the menus to the left and right.
Note An extra div element is required to support IE 11.
<div class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-center">
<div class="uk-navbar-center-left"><div>...</div></div>
<a href="" class="uk-navbar-item uk-logo"></a>
<div class="uk-navbar-center-right"><div>...</div></div>
</div>
</div>
<nav class="uk-navbar-container uk-margin" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-center">
<div class="uk-navbar-center-left"><div>
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div></div>
<a class="uk-navbar-item uk-logo" href="#">Logo</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-center-right"><div>
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div></div>
</div>
</nav>
Toggle item
Add the .uk-navbar-toggle class and the uk-navbar-toggle-icon attribute to an <a> or <div> element to create an icon as a toggle. By default, there is no JavaScript attached to the toggle. As an example, you can add an off-canvas navigation from the Off-canvas component or a modal from the Modal component.
<div class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<a class="uk-navbar-toggle" uk-navbar-toggle-icon href=""></a>
</div>
</div>
<nav class="uk-navbar uk-navbar-container uk-margin">
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<a class="uk-navbar-toggle" uk-navbar-toggle-icon href="#"></a>
</div>
</nav>
<nav class="uk-navbar uk-navbar-container uk-margin">
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<a class="uk-navbar-toggle" href="#">
<span uk-navbar-toggle-icon></span> <span class="uk-margin-small-left">Menu</span>
</a>
</div>
</nav>
Dropdowns
A navbar can contain a dropdown from the Dropdown component. Just add the .uk-navbar-dropdown modifier to the dropdown, so it fits perfectly into the navbar’s styling. Add the .uk-navbar-dropdown-nav class to navs inside the dropdown.
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li>
<a href=""></a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">...</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li class="uk-nav-header">Header</li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li class="uk-nav-divider"></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="uk-navbar-right">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li>
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li class="uk-nav-header">Header</li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li class="uk-nav-divider"></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Multiple columns
The Dropdown component allows you arrange the dropdown content in columns. To accommodate up to five columns, you also need to add one of the following classes. Columns will stack, if they no longer fit into the container.
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
.uk-navbar-dropdown-width-2 |
Add this class to double the dropdown’s width. |
.uk-navbar-dropdown-width-3 |
Add this class to triple the dropdown’s width. |
.uk-navbar-dropdown-width-4 |
Add this class to multiply the dropdown’s width by four. |
.uk-navbar-dropdown-width-5 |
Add this class to multiply the dropdown’s width by five. |
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown uk-navbar-dropdown-width-2">
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown-grid uk-child-width-1-2" uk-grid>

Boundary alignment
Dropdowns can be aligned to the navbar’s boundary. Just append the boundary-align: true parameter to the uk-navbar attribute. Add the align: left, align: center or align: right option to change the alignment. By default, dropdowns are aligned to the left.
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar="boundary-align: true; align: center;">...</nav>
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar="boundary-align: true; align: center;">
<div class="uk-navbar-left">

Justify
To justify a dropdown, use the Drop component and its position feature. In the following example it is aligned to the boundary of the parent navbar.
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown" uk-drop="boundary: .parent; boundary-align: true; pos: bottom-justify;">...</div>
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li>
<a href="#">Item</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown" uk-drop="boundary: !nav; boundary-align: true; pos: bottom-justify;">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">

Dropbar
A dropbar extends to the full width of the navbar and displays the dropdown without its default styling. To place dropdowns inside such a dropbar, add the dropbar: true option to the uk-navbar.
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar="dropbar: true;">...</nav>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropbar"></div>
<div class="uk-position-relative">

Push
By default, the dropbar overlays the site content. Add the dropbar-mode: push; option, to push the content down instead.
Note The push mode does not work well if the navbar is contained within a sticky component.
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar="dropbar: true; dropbar-mode: push">...</nav>

Sticky Navbar
For a basic sticky navbar, wrap the navbar inside a container with the uk-sticky attribute from the Sticky component.
The navbar itself has a modifier class uk-navbar-sticky that ensures an optimized styling for the sticky state (for example an additional box shadow). To let the sticky component dynamically add and remove that class, set cls-active: uk-navbar-sticky. To ensure that the class is added to the navbar container, set sel-target: .uk-navbar-container.
Note You can view more examples in the tests for the Sticky Navbar.
<div uk-sticky="sel-target: .uk-navbar-container; cls-active: uk-navbar-sticky">
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>...</nav>
</div>
<div uk-sticky="sel-target: .uk-navbar-container; cls-active: uk-navbar-sticky; bottom: #transparent-sticky-navbar">
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar style="position: relative; z-index: 980;">
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
Instead of using a Dropdown, you can show a Dropbar, which means that the subnavigation is displayed in full width below the navbar. Simply set dropbar: true inside the uk-navbar attribute.
<div uk-sticky="sel-target: .uk-navbar-container; cls-active: uk-navbar-sticky">
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar="dropbar: true;">...</nav>
</div>
<div uk-sticky="sel-target: .uk-navbar-container; cls-active: uk-navbar-sticky; bottom: #transparent-sticky-navbar">
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar="dropbar: true;" style="position: relative; z-index: 980;">
<div class="uk-navbar-left">
<ul class="uk-navbar-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="uk-navbar-dropdown">
<ul class="uk-nav uk-navbar-dropdown-nav">
<li class="uk-active"><a href="#">Active</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
</ul>

Transparent Sticky Navbar
When you use a transparent navbar, your markup contains the .uk-navbar-transparent class together with .uk-light or .uk-dark. When the navbar is sticky, it is usually required to remove these classes and add them when the navbar returns to the non-sticky state. To do that, set cls-inactive: uk-navbar-transparent uk-light.
By default, the immediate toggling of classes does not look ideal. Instead, we can set top: 200 to let the navbar disappear and then re-appear when the user has scrolled 200px past the navbar. In that case we can also define to have the navbar slide in with an animation, just set animation: uk-animation-slide-top.
<div uk-sticky="animation: uk-animation-slide-top; sel-target: .uk-navbar-container; cls-active: uk-navbar-sticky; cls-inactive: uk-navbar-transparent uk-light; top: 200">
<nav class="uk-navbar-container" uk-navbar>...</nav>
</div>
<div class="uk-section-primary uk-preserve-color">
<div uk-sticky="animation: uk-animation-slide-top; sel-target: .uk-navbar-container; cls-active: uk-navbar-sticky; cls-inactive: uk-navbar-transparent uk-light; top: 200">
