I\'m using the bootstrap navigation bar, but I want to float one of the buttons to the right instead of the left as it already is. Here\'s the HTML:
You would need to use the following markup. If you want to float any menu items to the right, create a separate <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
with navbar-right
class to it.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Project name</a>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Create a separate ul.nav
for just that list item and float that ul
right.
jsFiddle
In bootstrap 4 use:
<ul class="nav navbar-nav ml-auto">
This will push the navbar to the right. Use mr-auto to push it to the left, this is the default behaviour.
