Right-align prebuilt navigation menu


I downloaded a menu from CSSMenuMaker.com and I love it, but I'd like to have the menu items aligned to the right without reversing their order and have the logo on the left. Right now I am using text to represent the logo, and right now I have it set to float:right. Any advice on how to right-align the menu items based on this code?

Solution

  • Here is what I did with the code you provided in the question:

    • Edited your code to include a separate .logo element inside #cssmenu that floats to left,
    • Floated the ul in the direct neighborhood of .logo to the right
    • Added micro-clearfix hack to the #cssmenu to avoid any collapsing often caused by CSS floats

    See yourself.

    @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,700);
    
    .logo {
      padding: 17px;
      font-size: 12px;
      float: left;
    }
    
    .logo a {
      color: white;
      text-decoration: none;
      font-weight: 700;
    }
    
    .logo + ul {
      float: right;
    }
