Change Position Of An Element - Responsive Website

How can i change the position of an element from being left to being right in a smaller screen? This is for wider screens: .nav { position:absolute; top: 0px; left: 5%;

Solution 1:

You can set the break points this way(assuming 600 px is the breakpoint between small screen and large screen)

@media screen and (min-width: 601px) {
   .nav {
    position:absolute;
    top: 0px;
    left: 5%;
 }
}



@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
   .nav {
    position:absolute;
    right:10px;

 }
}

Here is a jsfiddle

In reference to the updated fiddle provided in the question the newer working code on the above logic will be

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
        .social-nav {
            position:absolute;
            right: 10px;
        }
        .social-navul {
            margin: 0;
            padding:0;
        }
        .social-navulli {
            list-style: none;
            display:block;
            background: #393939;
            padding:10px10px5px10px;
            margin: 1px;
            opacity: .5;
            transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;
        }
        .social-navulli:hover {
            opacity: .8;
            background:#fff;
        }
    }
    @media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
        .social-nav {
            background:#000;
            width:100%;
            position:absolute;
            top: 0px;
            left: 5%;
        }
        .social-navul {
            margin: 0;
            padding:0;
        }
        .social-navulli {
            list-style: none;
            display:table-cell;
            float: left;

Solution 2:

Do you have the viewport meta tag in your header? Your media queries wont work properly without it.

<metaname="viewport"content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">

Solution 3:

You would need to set a media query for the size, as you would like the browser,to shift the element from left to right at different resolutions .

@media (min-width: 780px) and (max-width: 980px) {
   // CSS definition for element(s) at this resolution 

}

Of course you will change the min and max to your desired size or you can just set a min width.
