Misaligned icons can result in frustrating designs that just don't look good. In this guide, we'll tackle this alignment issue step-by-step, giving you the tools to achieve the perfect layout.

Solution: Adjusting Your CSS

Let's highlight the necessary adjustments to get that hamburger icon looking sharp and aligned right.

Key Adjustments

Change the Positioning of <span> Elements:

Remove the position: absolute; and width: 70px; properties from the span elements.

Set the width of the span to 100% to ensure they stretch across the label properly.

Modify the <label> Styles:

Set the display property to flex and establish flex-direction: column;, letting the span elements stack vertically.

Adjust the height to 50px and the width to 70px.

Add right: 50px; to position the label from the right edge.

Your Updated CSS Code

Here’s what the updated CSS should look like:

Conclusion

By following these adjustments, you should have a perfectly aligned hamburger menu icon that fits neatly into your design. Remember, the key is using flexbox effectively to control alignment and positioning. Experiment with these styles, and you'll find it easier to align other elements on your web page too! Happy coding!
