I was trying to make the nav bar all in the same line but the last block in the nav bar didnt work html:

 <div id="navbar"><ul>
           <li>Home</li>
           <li id="title">Welcome to this website</li>
           <li>Sign up to get update to your inbox:<input type="text" placeholder="Type in your email adress"></input><input type="submit" value="submit"></intput></li>
 </ul></div>

css:

    display:block;
    float:left;
    font-size:25px;;

    background-color:#D2A7F2;
    padding:20px;
    text-align:center;
    width:33%;
    border-right:2px solid #FF2508;
    border-bottom:2px solid #FF2508;

}

#navbar ul{
        list-style-type:none;
}

#navbar{

       margin-left:-40px;
}

Add box sizing to include the padding and increase the width to equal (closer to) 100%.

#navbar li {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    width: 33.33%
}

adding box-sizing: border-box; will fix the issue you have given padding which increases the width by adding box-sizing: border-box; the padding is given from inside

also set ul width to 100% if you want to take make it full screen and li should be 33.33%

remove the left -ve margin for you #navbar and add margin:0 because it will remove default margin given by browser
