3,301 Pointsflex box container not working
Hi All,
Two questions....
I'm currently having a problem with my flex box container, they say that just but setting the parent container that contains the flex items to display: flex will mean the flex items inside will display in a row by default. but in my codepen, even though I have set the parent container to display flex, which in my case it is the ".nav-primary" class, but the nav items inside are still stacking?
Why is this happening?
Once I have worked out how to get the flexbox items to display in a row, how do I then get that row to be positioned inside the top header and not at the bottom where they currently sit.
Link to my code pen for inspection: http://codepen.io/Consecca/pen/RawBPm

You have specified display:flex property to the .nav-primary only.
.nav-primary has only one child, which is ul.
So instead of specifying display:flex property to .nav-primary, you should specify it to .nav-primary ul

3,301 PointsAh ha! ok thanks Ihor, appreciate that! that was beginning to drive me nuts why that was not working.
and what about the second question, how would I then get that .nav-primary container to sit inside the top header, is there a way to reposition this using flexbox?
