Is there a way to align divs on a page? For example, you have a div in a table, but you want the div to be up against the right side instead of the left, sorta like algning text. Is there any way to do this?

If it's in a table cell, you should be able to put align=right into the td tag and the div will go to the right. If you want the text inside the div to align to the right as well, add it to the div tag.

You can also use absolute positioning also, correct? But if you did that it wouldn't really be inside the table.

well, the problem with aligning the div through the TD is that it would align the text as well. I shoulda specified earlier - in the cell there's both text and the divs. As for absolute positioning...no clue how to use it ^^; and I'd also like the divs to stay relative to the text...or some such thing, heh. Not so the divs can float over the text, I mean.

The "float" property perhaps (at least I think it's a property ^^;;):

<div style="float: right;">
whatever
</div>

I'm pretty sure float: screws up IE.

Make a second div to contain the div you want to line up on the right:

.main {
width: 100%;
text-align: right;
}

.right {
... whatever styles...
}


<div class="main">
<div class="right">
text
</div>
</div>


Something like that, and it should work for you :)

ah, that method worked! Thanks much!

float works fine in IE6.

hmm...It must be older versions of IE. I'll see if I can find out where I read that.

I found what w3schools says about float:
