Q: nav menu with icon html Trying to make a responsive nav menu with icons in html. Its supposed to look like "image 1" but instead it looks like "image 2". Any ideas on how to fix it? it was working fine, but when I added icons to the nav menu, it went wrong. Thanks in advance.

        });
        </script>   


A: try adding white-space:nowrap; to .menu a
.menu a {
    text-shadow:0px 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
    color:#777;
    transition:color linear 0.15s;
    text-decoration: none;
    line-height:6;
    white-space:nowrap;
}
