Help in the Personal portfolio project?

I am having trouble with the nav bar in the webpage. The buttons do not float to the right?
Here is my HTML:

<script src="/js/my.js"></script>

<!-- This is where the code starts -->
<body data-spy="scroll" data-target=".navbar" data-offset="100">
<!-- Top navigation -->
<nav class= "navbar navbar-toggleable-sm navbar-inverse fixed-top" style="background-color:purple;">
<div class="container">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">

<button class="navbar-toggler" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=#mainNav>
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="mainNav">

<p>Hi</p>
</div>
</body>

This is my CSS:

.edit{
  color:grey;
  font-size:15px;
}
.active{
  background-color:white;
}
body { 
    padding-top: 75px; 
}
ul.nav{
  float:right;
}
nav ul li{
  list-style:none;
  float:right;
  margin:10px;
}

I have tried a lot of things but none of them seem to work.

can you put this in a codepen next time? Makes it alot easier for us to help you.

At first I was completely lost… Then I realized you were using bootstrap 4. Things work a little different there with the inclusion of flexbox. First remove all those float: right; styles.

On your div.navbar-nav tag add .ml-auto.
This should push your navbar elements to right.

On the other hand .mr-auto will bring it to the left… Weird I know…

Heres an example.

<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
    <li><a href="#">Right</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Right</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Right</a></li>
</ul>

Happy coding! :slight_smile:

Thanks so much. I’ll just include the codepen next time.
