Answer 1

you need to change the UL position under the last LI

Demo

 ul > li:last-child ul{ right: 4px; left: auto; } 

 body { font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; padding: 20px 50px 150px; font-size: 13px; text-align: center; background: #E3CAA1; } ul { text-align: left; display: inline; margin: 0; padding: 15px 4px 17px 0; list-style: none; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); } ul li { font: bold 12px/18px sans-serif; display: inline-block; margin-right: -4px; position: relative; padding: 15px 20px; background: #fff; cursor: pointer; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; -moz-transition: all 0.2s; -ms-transition: all 0.2s; -o-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s; } ul li:hover { background: #555; color: #fff; } ul li ul { padding: 0; position: absolute; top: 48px; left: 0; width: 150px; -webkit-box-shadow: none; -moz-box-shadow: none; box-shadow: none; display: none; opacity: 0; visibility: hidden; -webkit-transiton: opacity 0.2s; -moz-transition: opacity 0.2s; -ms-transition: opacity 0.2s; -o-transition: opacity 0.2s; -transition: opacity 0.2s; } ul>li:last-child ul { right: 4px; left: auto; } ul li ul li { background: #555; display: block; color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #000; } ul li ul li:hover { background: #666; } ul li:hover ul { display: block; opacity: 1; visibility: visible; }

Answer 2

If you know that the last element of your navigation menu is ahead of time (which means that your menu is not dynamically built), you can simply specify the last <ul> own class.

Try the following:

 <ul><li>Home</li> <li>About</li> <li> Portfolio <ul> <li>Web Design</li> <li>Web Development</li> <li>Illustrations</li> </ul> </li> <li>Blog</li> <li>Contact <ul class="listRight"> <li>Web Design</li> <li>Web Development</li> <li>Illustrations</li> </ul></li> </ul> 

Then add the "listRight" class to your css:

 .listRight { left: auto !important; right: 0 !important; } 

See this JSFiddle solution for a working example.

Answer 3

Just added a class called "lastChild" and added css.

 body { font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; padding: 20px 50px 150px; font-size: 13px; text-align: center; background: #E3CAA1; } ul { text-align: left; display: inline; margin: 0; padding: 15px 4px 17px 0; list-style: none; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); } ul li { font: bold 12px/18px sans-serif; display: inline-block; margin-right: -4px; position: relative; padding: 15px 20px; background: #fff; cursor: pointer; -webkit-transition: all 0.2s; -moz-transition: all 0.2s; -ms-transition: all 0.2s; -o-transition: all 0.2s; transition: all 0.2s; } ul li:hover { background: #555; color: #fff; } ul li ul { padding: 0; position: absolute; top: 48px; left: 0; width: 150px; -webkit-box-shadow: none; -moz-box-shadow: none; box-shadow: none; display: none; opacity: 0; visibility: hidden; -webkit-transiton: opacity 0.2s; -moz-transition: opacity 0.2s; -ms-transition: opacity 0.2s; -o-transition: opacity 0.2s; -transition: opacity 0.2s; } ul li ul li { background: #555; display: block; color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #000; } ul li ul li:hover { background: #666; } ul li:hover ul { display: block; opacity: 1; visibility: visible; } ul.lastChild{ right: 4px; left: auto; }
