Question

When a new web application project in ASP.NET created, it comes with a NavigationMenu in site.master page which has 2 elements (Home & About), Please let me know how to align this menu to the right.

Here it’s screenshot & code:

<div class="clear hideSkiplink">
    <asp:Menu ID="NavigationMenu" runat="server" CssClass="menu" EnableViewState="false"
        IncludeStyleBlock="False" Orientation="Horizontal">
        <Items>
            <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Default.aspx" Text="AnaSayfa"/>                 
            <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/About.aspx" Text="Hakkında" />
        </Items>
    </asp:Menu>
</div>

Here is the rendered html code:

<div style="float: left;" id="NavigationMenu" class="menu">
    <ul style="width: auto; float: left; position: relative;" class="level1 static" role="menubar"
        tabindex="0">
        <li style="float: left; position: relative;" class="static" role="menuitem"><a class="level1 static"
            tabindex="-1" href="Default.aspx">Ana Sayfa</a></li>
        <li style="float: left; position: relative;" class="static" role="menuitem"><a class="level1 static"
            tabindex="-1" href="About.aspx">Hakkında</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

Here CSS:

div.hideSkiplink
{
    background-color:#3a4f63;
    width:100%;
}

div.menu
{
    padding: 4px 0px 4px 8px;
    text-align: right;
}

div.menu ul
{
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    width: auto;
}

div.menu ul li a, div.menu ul li a:visited
{
    background-color: #465c71;
    border: 1px #4e667d solid;
    color: #dde4ec;
    display: block;
    line-height: 1.35em;
    padding: 4px 20px;
    text-decoration: none;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

div.menu ul li a:hover
{
    background-color: #bfcbd6;
    color: #465c71;
    text-decoration: none;
}

div.menu ul li a:active
{
    background-color: #465c71;
    color: #cfdbe6;
    text-decoration: none;
}

Add text-align: right; to the div.menu style in Site.css.

Since something is adding a float:left; to the menu div, you need to override it in your CSS with float:right !important; as per Rajiv’s suggestion. Make your CSS look like this:

div.menu
{
    padding: 4px 0px 4px 8px;
    text-align: right;
    float: right !important;
}

The manual style being applied is probably due to some built-in menu styles. Check out the docs and the walk-throughs included there: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ecs0x9w5(v=vs.100) Especially the once related to ManuStyles and MenuItemStyles.
