title: Bootstrap 3 - Height of the NavBar
body: <p>I am using nav-bar in Bootstrap 3 framework. Which is the best way to change the height of the navbar.</p>
  
  <p>Should i give a explicit height to the nav bar class or should i set the line height of the elements. I am confused bcos i am using a responsive navbar.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;header id="pageHeader"&gt;
    &lt;nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-inverse navbar" role="navigation"&gt;
      &lt;div class="container"&gt;&lt;!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display --&gt;
        &lt;div class="navbar-header"&gt;
          &lt;button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1"&gt; &lt;span class="sr-only"&gt;Toggle navigation&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="icon-bar"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="icon-bar"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="icon-bar"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/button&gt;
          &lt;a class="navbar-brand" href="#"&gt;Brand&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
  
        &lt;!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling --&gt;
        &lt;div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1"&gt;
          &lt;form action="search.php" class="navbar-form navbar-left" role="search"&gt;
            &lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
              &lt;input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search for Apartments"&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/form&gt;
          &lt;ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right"&gt;
            &lt;li class="active"&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li class="dropdown"&gt; &lt;a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown"&gt;Dropdown &lt;b class="caret"&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
              &lt;ul class="dropdown-menu"&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Action&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Another action&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Something else here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li class="divider"&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Separated link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
              &lt;/ul&gt;
            &lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;!-- /.navbar-collapse --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/nav&gt;
  &lt;/header&gt;
