OK but as stated we should not use <a href>as it causes problems with the screen clearing. It was there just to show the difference.

How would I know that MDBNavlink has its own styling? I don't see it documented anywhere.

Hi,

The position of already a member text is not aligned because it's not styled but MDBNavLink element has own styles, such as padding: .5rem 1rem; and that's why MDBNavLink has a blank space above itself. You can remove this property and you will see that these elements situated correctly. The first example uses a instead of MDBNavLink - second <a /> hasn't styles containing margin-top or padding-top so these <a /> tags are situated correctly.

Hope I could help.

Best regards.

If I look at one of your examples https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/react/forms/basic/

Can you please clarify why when using href (which nobody should be using) it lines up but when changing from href to use MDBNavLink instead it does not line up - unless 'align-items-center
Why is there a need to specify align-items-center when using MDBNavlink?

Here is a screen shot of the result

and here is the code sample the first uses href and the next line uses MDBNavLink and NDBNavItem

<MDBModalFooter className="mx-5 pt-3 mb-1">
              <p className="font-small grey-text d-flex justify-content-end">
                Already a member?
            <a href="#!" className="blue-text ml-1">Sign in</a>
              </p>
              <p className="font-small grey-text d-flex justify-content-end">Already a member?
              <MDBNavLink to="/login" className="blue-text ml-1">
                  <MDBNavItem>Sign in</MDBNavItem >
                </MDBNavLink>
              </p>
            </MDBModalFooter>

If I remove the first group entirely it now looks like this:

and the code looks like this:

<MDBModalFooter className="mx-5 pt-3 mb-1">
              <p className="font-small grey-text d-flex justify-content-end">Already a member?
              <MDBNavLink to="/login" className="blue-text ml-1">
                  <MDBNavItem>Sign in</MDBNavItem >
                </MDBNavLink>
              </p>
            </MDBModalFooter>

The only way it will line up is by using align-items-center

with this code:

<MDBModalFooter className="mx-5 pt-3 mb-1">
              <p className="font-small grey-text d-flex justify-content-end align-items-center">Already a member?
              <MDBNavLink to="/login" className="blue-text ml-1">
                  <MDBNavItem>Sign in</MDBNavItem >
                </MDBNavLink>
              </p>
            </MDBModalFooter>

Hi,

You can add align-items-center class to the div:

            <div className='font-small d-flex align-items-center'>
                  Already registered
                  <MDBNavLink to='/login' />
                  <MDBNavItem>Login</MDBNavItem>
                </div>

Can you please attach code snippets rather than screenshots? It takes time to recreate your code. Also, it will be easier and faster for you as well.

Hope I could help.

Best regards.
