  • 0

i am experimenting with html and css and trying to figure out how to make this work… I am just trying to make the #menu float to the right of the h1 but be on the same baseline so… but obviously float:right makes it float to top-right? any way to make it float to bottom-right or align with the bottom of the containing div?

here is the html:

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Website.com</title>
        <link rel="Stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            <h1><a href="#" title="Website.com">Website.com</a></h1>
            <div id="menu">
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="#" title="Home">Home</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" title="Link1 Description">Link1</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" title="Link2 Description">Link2</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" title="Link3 Description">Link3</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#" title="About Website.com">About</a></li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>

    I haven’t looked into this much, but if you set the containing div’s position: relative, you can just make the ul position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0 and it should go where you want it.

    Example:

    div {position: relative}
ul {position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0}
li {float: left; list-style: none}

    <div>
    <h1>Header</h1>
    <ul>
        <li>One</li>
        <li>Two</li>
        <li>Etc...</li>
    </ul>
</div>
