CSS/HTML | Whats the best way to move signup to the bottom of the menu?

Question

How can I move "Sign up" to the bottom of the nav bar.

It looks like mobilemenu margin is taking priority. I am not 100% sure how to fix this

I have tried multiple things such as symbols like this > and +. Additionally, I tried moving the margin edits to each class "main" and "account" but the mobilemenu is the navbar itself.

HTML:

<style>
    <%@include file="../css/header/header.css" %>
</style>
<!-- Mobile Navigation -->
<script>var checkbox = document.querySelector('#myInput');
var icon = document.querySelector('#menuToggle span');
var listener = function (e) {
    if (e.target != checkbox && e.target != icon) {
        checkbox.checked = false;
        document.removeEventListener('click', listener);
    }
};

checkbox.addEventListener('click', function () {
    if (this.checked) {
        document.addEventListener('click', listener);
    }
});
</script>
<header>
    <nav role="navigation">
        <div id="menuToggle">
            <input type="checkbox" id="myInput"/>
            <span></span>
            <span></span>
            <span></span>
            <ul class="mobilemenu">
                <li><a href="#about" class="main">About Me</a></li>
                <li><a href="#experience" class="main">Experience</a></li>
                <li><a href="#projects" class="main">Projects</a></li>
                <li><a href="#about" class="main">About Me</a></li>
                <li><a href="#experience" class="main">Experience</a></li>
                <li><a href="#projects" class="main">Projects</a></li>
                <li><a href="#projects" class="account">Sign Up</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </nav>
</header>

#menuToggle .account{
    color: #66FCF1;
    padding-top: 200px;
}

#menuToggle input:checked ~ ul {
    transform: none;
}

flexbox is best option I will say – Maheer Ali Dec 31 '20 at 06:28 — Maheer Ali, Dec 31 '20 at 06:28

use span tag like:

<li> <span class="myaccount"> <a href="#projects" >Sign Up</a></span> </li>

or P tag:

<li> <p class="myaccount"><a href="#projects" >Sign Up</a></p></li>

change this

    
    
#menuToggle .account{
    color: #66FCF1;
    padding-top: 200px;
}

TO:

    
.myaccount{
    color: #66FCF1;
    padding-top: 60px;
}

you can edit padding or margin.

this worked well! but my css had a span tag edit that made everything out of place. This definitely would have worked if I didn't have the span tag. The p tag I believe has an innate line break. That didnt work either. – Donobuz Dec 31 '20 at 07:36
you could edit p tag with inline style

This worked well; I can now use this pattern for the links I want at the bottom such as Sign up and Sign in – Donobuz Dec 31 '20 at 07:37

You simply can try this code:

.mobilemenu li:last-child{
  position:absolute;
  bottom:1rem;
  left:2rem;
}

This will work fine.

If you want to try flex-box. You can do it using below Code:

.mobilemenu {
  width: 8.7rem;
  height: 90vh;
  /* margin: -80px -20px 0 -35px; */
  padding: 25px;
  padding-bottom: 20px;
  background: #0b0c10;
  list-style-type: none;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  transform-origin: 0% 0%;
  /* transform: translate(-100%, 0); */
  transition: transform 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.77, 0.2, 0.05, 1);
  position: fixed;
  vertical-align: middle;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

.mobilemenu li:nth-child(6) {
  flex: 1;
}

<header>
    <nav role="navigation">
        <div id="menuToggle">
            <input type="checkbox" id="myInput"/>
            <span></span>
            <span></span>
            <span></span>
            <ul class="mobilemenu">
                <li><a href="#about" class="main">About Me</a></li>
                <li><a href="#experience" class="main">Experience</a></li>
                <li><a href="#projects" class="main">Projects</a></li>
                <li><a href="#about" class="main">About Me</a></li>
                <li><a href="#experience" class="main">Experience</a></li>
                <li><a href="#projects" class="main">Projects</a></li>
                <li><a href="#projects" class="account">Sign Up</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </nav>
</header>

Thanks for the suggestion! This would have worked if Signup was the only thing I wanted at the bottom; I also wanted Sign In as well. — Donobuz, Dec 31 '20 at 07:37
Position:absolute; can be helpful in that case :) The first method. There actually are lots of ways to do a particulat problem :) This can be achieved with Grids also :) — Imran Rafiq Rather, Dec 31 '20 at 07:38
In Case you have sign up and sign in at the bottom... Best solution however would be to wrap both of them in a container div. Then use either position absolute. Or with basic modification flex-box :) — Imran Rafiq Rather, Dec 31 '20 at 07:41
