<div class="topnav" id="myTopnav">
  <a href="#home" class="active">Red FMTuning</a>
  <a href="#news" class="aligntune">Choose a tune from ur favourite</a>
  <a href="#contact">
    <div class="select">
      <select name="format" id="format">
        <option selected>Choose a book format</option>
        <option value="pdf">PDF</option>
        <option value="txt">txt</option>
        <option value="epub">ePub</option>
        <option value="fb2">fb2</option>
        <option value="mobi">mobi</option>
      </select>
    </div>
  </a>
  <a href="#about" class="alignout">About</a>
  <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="icon" @click="myFunction()">
    <i class="fa fa-bars"></i>
  </a>
</div>

As in the above image, u can see the , all the elements like "tuning", "Choose a tune from ur favourite" , "Choose a book format", ""About". All the contents are not in proper shape. and mainly the dropdown("Choose a book format") it is in not aligned according to other content. and when click on dropdown also. it is overlapping on content.

I need to align all the elements until it reaches to some 1200px like below.

Answer 1

Use justify-content:space-between; in the parent class

Answer 2

I have wrapped "Choose a book format", "About" <div class="topnav-inner-wrap"> and applied flexbox css on .topnav & .topnav-inner-wrap

Working Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/k2beLnrv/

function myFunction(){
      var x = document.getElementById("myTopnav");
      if (x.className === "topnav") {
        x.className += " responsive";
      } else {
        x.className = "topnav";
      }
}

body {
  margin: 0;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.topnav {
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: #333;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.topnav a {

  color: #f2f2f2;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 14px 16px;

  font-size: 17px;
}

.topnav a:hover {
  background-color: #ddd;
  color: black;
}

.topnav a.active {
  background-color: #04aa6d;

}

.topnav .icon {
  display: none;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .topnav > a:not(:first-child) {
    display: none;
  }
  .topnav a.icon {
    float: right;
    display: block;
  }
}

Answer 3

Check this fiddle. You can use flexbox for this scenario. Add these properties to your topnav:

display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-evenly;

align-items is used to align the items vertically, and justify-content is used to space them equally. You can only use both properties if you've set the display to flex.
