Hi zircon,

You can change the positions of the items by setting the ‘margin-left’ in the HTML markup.

Example:

                   <li style="margin-left: 50px;">Company
                        <ul style='width: 180px;'>
                            <li><a href="#About">About Us</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#Press">Press</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#Investor">Investor Relations</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#CorporateAffairs">Corporate Affairs</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#Careers">Careers</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#Showcase">Showcase</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#Events">Events</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#ContactUs">Contact Us</a></li>
                            <li><a href="#Become an affiliate">Become an affiliate</a></li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>

I tried this and a different approach (using a jQuery selector to access the item after the menu was built and setting the float to right), and had a problem both times. When the submenu opens up, it opens off the page, since the menu item is too far to the right. Is there a way to tell the submenu to right-align to the parent element? I am working on replacing a program for a client and I just started working with these tools. Their current system has a main menu on the left side with a system menu on the right. I was trying to replicate the same behavior, but the submenu is a major problem.

Thanks.

Here’s a solution:
