How can I make the navbar div wider in Webflow when changing the width using vw or percentage values is not working?

If changing the width of the navbar div using vw (viewport width) or percentage values is not giving you the desired result, there are a few alternative methods you can try to make the navbar div wider in Webflow:

1. Adjust the width using custom CSS:
- Select the navbar div.
- Go to the Styles panel and click on the "+ Add Custom CSS" button.
- In the input field, add the CSS code to override the width. For example, you can use the `width` property with a specific pixel value, like `width: 500px;`.
- Preview the changes to see if the navbar now has the desired width.

2. Apply a class to the navbar div and modify the width using CSS classes:
- If you haven't already, give the navbar div a class. You can do this by selecting the div and going to the Styles panel, then click on the "+ New Class" button and give it a class name.
- With the class selected, go to the Styles panel and add a style rule for the class.
- In the style rule, set the `width` property to the desired value. For example, you can use `width: 500px;`.
- Preview the changes to see if the navbar now has the desired width.

3. Adjust the width using flexbox:
- If your navbar is contained within a flex container, you can adjust the width using flexbox properties.
- Select the parent element that contains the navbar and go to the Styles panel.
- Enable flexbox by setting the `Display` property to `Flex`.
- Go to the `Layout` section and adjust the `Justify` and `Align` properties as needed.
- In the navbar div, you can set the `flex-grow` property to allow it to grow and fill available space. For example, you can use `flex-grow: 1;`.
- Preview the changes to see if the navbar now has the desired width.

4. Check for conflicting styles or overrides:
- Sometimes, conflicting styles or overrides from parent elements or other classes can prevent the desired width from being applied.
- Go through your Styles panel and check for any conflicting styles or overrides that could be affecting the navbar div's width.
- Remove or modify any conflicting styles to ensure they don't interfere with the desired width.
- Preview the changes to see if the navbar now has the desired width.

Remember to preview your changes in different viewport sizes to ensure your navbar looks good and functions properly across different devices.
