If you've tried to make your navbar 100% width by taking its elements out of the container and it has resulted in a broken navbar on Webflow, there are a few steps you can take to fix it:

Identify the issue: First, you need to identify what exactly is causing the broken navbar. Common issues include elements not being properly nested or positioned, or conflicting styles.
Revert changes: If you're not sure what caused the issue, you can revert the changes you made by undoing your actions or restoring a previous version of your Webflow project from the backups.
Make sure navbar elements are properly nested: To ensure proper functionality, all navbar elements should be nested inside the navbar container. Verify that you've correctly placed all the necessary elements within the container.
Set container dimensions: If you want to make your navbar 100% width, you can apply the following settings to the container element:

Select the navbar container.
In the Styles panel, set its width to 100%.
Ensure that the container element has "Position: Relative" set.

Adjust child elements: Once the container width is set correctly, you may need to adjust the child elements of the navbar to display properly. Check the styling of each element to ensure it aligns correctly within the navbar container. Make sure all elements within the navbar have a width of 100% if necessary.
Resolve styling conflicts: If there are conflicting styles across different elements or classes, you may need to review and modify the CSS rules to ensure they work harmoniously. Use the Designer or the Custom Code section to make necessary changes.
Preview and test: After applying the changes, ensure to preview your website on different devices and screen sizes to make sure the navbar appears as desired. Test the functionality to ensure all links and interactions work correctly.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix your broken navbar after attempting to make it 100% width by taking the elements out of the container.
