The icon stubbornly refuses to budge to the right or keeps conflicting with the unordered list beneath it

I'm assuming that the empty space represents a div element, with some room on the right side. Based on what I see in the screenshot, I'm trying to move the Bars-Icon to the right corner of the div, at the top, and have the ul list below it. However, I've been playing around with it for about an hour and can't seem to get it right. Thank you in advance for any help!

Here is the HTML code:

<div><i class="fa-solid fa-bars fa-3x">
                <div class="container-navmenu">
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/home">Home</a></li>
                        <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/wiki">Wiki</a></li>
                        <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/shop">Shop</a></li>
                        <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/team">Team</a></li>
                        <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/news">News</a></li>
                        <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/contact">Contact us</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </div>
                </i>
                </div>

And here is the stylesheet being used:

.fa-bars{
    color: white;
    float: right;
}
.fa-bars:hover{
    color: rgba(161,51,255,1.00);
}
.fa-bars:hover ul{
    display: block;
}
.container-navmenu{
    margin-right: 200px;
    margin-top: 50px;
    float:right;
    text-align: right;
}
.container-navmenu ul{
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    background-color: #262F3D;
    border-radius: 20px;
    float: right;
}
.container-navmenu ul li{
    list-style: none;
    position: relative;
}
.container-navmenu ul li a{
    font-family: "forma-djr-display", sans-serif;
    font-weight: 800;
    font-size: 20px;
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: 10px;
    display: block;
    transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;
}
.container-navmenu ul li a:hover{
    color: rgba(161,51,255,1.00)
}

I've tried adjusting margins and padding, but the Icon remains connected to the List, so changing their relative positions doesn't work. I also attempted ending the </i> right after the icon without including the List, but then I couldn't figure out how to display the List on hover using 

.fa-bars:hover.container-navmanu ul{display:block}
.

Answer №1

If you want to reposition the bars icon to the upper right corner of the div, you can achieve this by applying the following CSS styles to the .fa-bars class:

.fa-bars {
  color: white;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
}

By doing so, the icon will be placed at the top right corner of the div.

To show the list when hovering over the bars icon, you can use the following CSS:

.fa-bars:hover {
  color: rgba(161, 51, 255, 1.00);
}

.navmenu-container:hover .container-navmenu ul {
  display: block;
}

This code snippet ensures that the ul element is displayed upon hovering over the bars icon.

Below is the updated code for reference:

<div class="navmenu-container">
  <i class="fa-solid fa-bars fa-3x"></i>
  <div class="container-navmenu">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/home">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/wiki">Wiki</a></li>
      <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/shop">Shop</a></li>

      <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/news">News</a></li>
      <li><a href="https://www.playrealm.de/contact">Contact us</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>

.navmenu-container {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
}

.fa-bars {
  color: white;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
}

.fa-bars:hover {
  color: rgba(161, 51, 255, 1.00);
}

.navmenu-container:hover .container-navmenu ul {
  display: block;
}

.container-navmenu {
  margin-top: 50px;
  float: right;
  text-align: right;
}

.container-navmenu ul {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #262F3D;
  border-radius: 20px;
  float: right;
}

.container-navmenu ul li {
  list-style: none;
  position: relative;
}

.container-navmenu ul li a {
  font-family: "forma-djr-display", sans-serif;
  font-weight: 800;
  font-size: 20px;
  color: white;
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: 10px;
  display: block;
  transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;
}

.container-navmenu ul li a:hover {
  color: rgba(161, 51, 255, 1.00)
}

I trust this information proves helpful!

Answer №2

I have discovered a solution for achieving this:

Simply close the </i> tag right after the icon,

and update your CSS selector from .fa-bars:hover ul to .fa-bars:hover + div ul

(also remember to modify .container-navmenu ul to have display: none)

Best of luck!

.fa-bars{
    color: black;
    float: right;
}
.fa-bars:hover{
    color: rgba(161,51,255,1.00);
}
.fa-bars:hover + div ul{
    display: block;
}
.container-navmenu{
    margin-right: 200px;
    margin-top: 50px;
    float:right;
    text-align: right;
}
.container-navmenu ul{
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    background-color: #262F3D;
    border-radius: 20px;
    float: right;
}
.container-navmenu ul li{
    list-style: none;
    position: relative;
}
.container-navmenu ul li a{
    font-family: "forma-djr-display", sans-serif;
    font-weight: 800;
    font-size: 20px;
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: 10px;
    display: block;
    transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;
}
.container-navmenu ul li a:hover{
    color: rgba(161,51,255,1.00)
}

Answer №3

By correctly closing the `</i>` Tag right after the icon and positioning the Icon using `position: absolute; top: 30px; right: 20px;` in my `fa-bars` style, I have successfully repositioned the icon to the top right and the list below it. To enhance this solution further, you can create a new class within a `div` tag wrapping both the icon and the list elements. This way, you can utilize `[new class]:hover .container-navmenu ul` to ensure the list remains open when hovering over either the icon or the list itself. If this step is skipped, the list will disappear once the cursor leaves the icon. A big thank you to everyone who contributed to this solution!

Answer №4

For an improved design, try adding position:absolute and right:0 to .fa-bars::before as shown below:

.fa-bars::before {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
}
.fa-bars{
    color: black;
    float: right;
}
.fa-bars:hover{
    color: rgba(161,51,255,1.00);
}
.fa-bars:hover ul{
    display: block;
}
.container-navmenu{
    margin-right: 200px;
    margin-top: 50px;
    float:right;
    text-align: right;
}
.container-navmenu ul{
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    background-color: #262F3D;
    border-radius: 20px;
    float: right;
}
.container-navmenu ul li{
    list-style: none;
    position: relative;
}
.container-navmenu ul li a{
    font-family: "forma-djr-display", sans-serif;
    font-weight: 800;
    font-size: 20px;
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: 10px;
    display: block;
    transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;
}
.container-navmenu ul li a:hover{
    color: rgba(161,51,255,1.00)
}

Answer №5

Your HTML is causing the issue, not the CSS. The <i> tag should only contain phrasing content as children, otherwise it may lead to unexpected behavior.

.fa-bars {
  float: right;
}

.fa-bars:hover {
  color: rgba(161, 51, 255, 1.00);
}

.fa-bars:hover ul {
  display: block;
}

.container-navmenu {
  margin-right: 200px;
  margin-top: 50px;
  float: right;
  text-align: right;
}

.container-navmenu ul {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #262F3D;
  border-radius: 20px;
  float: right;
}

.container-navmenu ul li {
  list-style: none;
  position: relative;
}

.container-navmenu ul li a {
  font-family: "forma-djr-display", sans-serif;
  font-weight: 800;
