        </ul>
      </div>
      <div class="title">Players Online - Past 5 minutes</div>
      <div class="right-menu">
         <ul>
            <li class="header">Main menu</li>
            <li><a href="profile.php">Homepage</a></li>
            <li><a href="profile.php">Homepage</a></li>
            <li><a href="profile.php">Homepage</a></li>
            <li><a href="profile.php">Homepage</a></li>
         </ul>
      </div>
   </BODY>
</HTML>

The current design should be

1ST MENU -- DIV WITH TEXT -- 2ND MENU

But my 2ND Menu is going to the same place of the 1ST MENU.

Solution

  • You are using absolute positioning for the layout. So, you need to specify the left/right carefully. If you omit, it picks up the left by default.

    Just add this to your css:

    .right-menu { right: 0px; }
