I'm trying to create a portofolio website and whatever I do, this header wont show up
I attached one screenshot, and as you can see the header sits in the corner of the screen for some reason.
import React from 'react';

export default function Header() {
  return (
    <header className="z-[999] relative">
      <div 
              className="fixed top-0 left-1/2 h-[4.5rem] w-full rounded-none border border-white border-opacity-40 bg-white bg-opacity-80 shadow-lg shadow-black/[0.03] backdrop-blur-[0.5rem] sm:top-6 sm:h-[3.25rem] sm:w-[36rem] sm:rounded-full dark:bg-gray-950 dark:border-black/40 dark:bg-opacity-75"
              >
      </div>
    </header>
  );
}
Heres the code of the header. If anyone can help out or point at what im doing wrong would be very helpful
Thank you

Hey, there are several reasons why it does not show up
One is that the width is zero
Try using w-screen instead of w-full
This will set the width to the width of the screen
Also you should insert some content
The width full will be 100% of the parent and the parent has zero width
That's why it's zero
This is one reason
Another way would be to set left-0 and right-0 so that it will have a width
