Question

I have a question on a responsive menu I made using this tutorial, it’s pretty simple to implement and I will add the code here as well.

if you go to my page here, you can see I have a 5 item menu at the bottom. but I’m trying to make it shift to the right, I tried adding “float: right” to the nav, to the div, but it doesn’t work.

Here is my HTML

<div class="container" style="background:lightgray; padding: 15px">
    <h3> 5 menu left </h3>
    <nav>
    <ul>
    <li><a class="current" href="#">PixelsDaily</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Clients</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Work2</a></li>
    </ul>       
    </nav>
</div>

Here is my CSS

.container {
    position: relative;
    width: 960px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0;
}

* {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;

    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
       -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
            box-sizing: border-box;
}

nav {
    width: 90%;
    margin: 50px auto; 
}

nav ul {
    list-style: none;
   /* overflow: hidden; */
}

nav li a {
    background: #444;
    border-right: 1px solid #fff;
    color: #fff;
    display: block;
    float: left;
    font: 400 13px/1.4 'Cutive', Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
    padding: 10px;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    width: 12.5%;

        /*TRANSISTIONS*/
    -webkit-transition: background 0.5s ease;
       -moz-transition: background 0.5s ease;
         -o-transition: background 0.5s ease;
        -ms-transition: background 0.5s ease;
            transition: background 0.5s ease;
}


 /*HOVER*/
nav li a:hover , nav li a.current{
    background: #222;
}

nav li a:visited {
    color:#FFF;
}

nav li:last-child a {
    border: none;
}

/*SMALL*/
nav small {
    color: #aaa;   
    font: 100 11px/1 Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
    text-transform: none;

}

@media only screen and (max-width : 1220px),

    nav li a {

Float your A’s right instead of left.

OR, switch to display: inline-block; setup, instead of using floats.

CSS:
nav ul {
text-align: right;
