Can you use pseudo-element ::after instead of ::before ?

There is not much logic to have icon before menu item on responsive menu, looks ugly.
But it is not main reason for asking. Position:absolute, or float:right on icon makes lot of problems in IE11 and below.

Just look how menu icons here look on Chrome and IE11:

Anyway, I decided to remove icon in IE11. Tweak after tweak and you ruin it for other more normal browsers.

@media screen and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none) {  
   /* IE10+ specific styles go here */  
   .bd-menu-17.nav-pills .bd-menuitem-22 > a:before, .bd-menu-17.nav-pills .bd-menuitem-22 > a:link:before, .bd-menu-17.nav-pills .bd-menuitem-22 > a:visited:before {
    content: none !important;
}
}

Hi,

I've added your request to our wish list.
But this may help in case of specific icon alignment. This feature requires creating of different elements depending of the icon alignment and adding of the alignment option itself.

Thank you,
Olivia

Hi,

We receive a response from our developers. The issue happens because there is problem in IE. To fix the reported issue you can use a workarround. Add custom CSS code to your theme.

  1. Open Settings on Ribbon Home tab.

  2. Add Custrom CSS code

Code:

.bd-menu-1.nav-pills .bd-menuitem-2 > a > span {
 margin-right: 23px;   
}

.bd-menu-1.nav-pills .bd-menuitem-2:last-child > a > span {
 margin-right: 0px;
}

.bd-menu-1.nav-pills .bd-menuitem-2 > a:before {
    margin-left: 0px !important;
}

This should help. Please keep us posted about the progress.

Thank you,

If I hit it right it dramatically change menu item spacing in all browsers. It is used together with float:right, or not ?
Cannot get it to work.
