CSS - Float Vs. Text-align?

I'm creating a dynamic calendar and I can't get the numbers in the cells of my calendar table to align top-right!
Here is my unformatted table...
Code:

	<tr height="75">
		<td><div align="right">12</div></td>
		<td><div style="vertical-align:top; text-align:right">13</div></td>
		<td>14</td>
		<td>15</td>
		<td>16</td>
		<td>17</td>
		<td>18</td>
	</tr>

I want the numbers to be aligned top right, but if I put other data in there(currently there is none, but there will be), I'd like it to be aligned left. I tried using the vertical-align property in a div tag, but that didn't do anything... I can get it to align right with a div tag...

sorry if it's such a stupid quesiton...

Also, a side note... I thought that span allows you to align text as well using the style property, but that doesn't work at all (not even just to the right)

I have both Chinese characters and English characters in one paragraph, but they don't align to the bottom with the English characters appearing like <sup>. I have used 'vertical-align' to align the text, but not successful. Pls help.

I have the following CSS:

Code:

span.title
{
{color:#c38ec7;text-decoration: underline;font-family: forte;font-variant:small-caps;font-weight:bold;font-size:165%}
}

... it works fine but when I try and put 'text-align:center;' that attribute does not seem to work. Is there any way of doing this???

Thanks

OK, I have a few links stacked vertically and I'm trying to get them to align to the right.
You can see the links here
Please look at the sub navigation to the left of the big image.

My CSS looks like this: Code:

a.subnav{
font-family:arial,helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:11pt;
color:#FFFFFF;
line-height:24px;
text-decoration:none;
text-align:right;
}

what am I doing wrong? How can I get the text to align to the right?

- thanks

Hi there,
ahhhh I have just decided to start using Firefox and now am rreworking my site. All new set up issues to try and fix and i don't even know where to start. Here is my site: www.kohlrbaby.com
The issues:
1) nav bars are no longer positioned correctly vertically, nor can I get the text to center in FF
2) the white box extends longer then it should in FF vs IE
3) the text is extending off the white box in the catalogue area in FF
please please offer me some css insight

here is my .css code:

OK I have a layer that is described here :


div#footer {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height:14;
background-color: #EED;
font: 10px Verdana, sans-serif;}


In this layer I wish to have some text in the left of the bar and at the far right (align-right) some text also ... how would i achieve this ???

-Thanks-

Firstly, excuse my title, I couldn't think of a better way to put it .

Now to the problem. In my layout I have a floated object, and text that flows around it, I can pad the text away from this floated object by using margins on the floated object. But I have created a class for <p> that I want to be padded further, and if I add padding-left to p.quote (the class) it makes no difference because the padding is simply going behind the float...

As rubbish as that explanation was, I expect someone will pick up on what I'm going on about. How can I have some text indented (padded) further away from the float than other ?

Thanks in advance.

Confused yet?

What's the best way to accomplish this?
page
testimonials.css
Main.CSS

If you look at the page, you will see that I have the "signature" of the testimonial giver aligned right, but I would like the two p elements to be aligned along their left edge as well (but on the right side of the page, with everything flowing around any images)...

I tried floating them right, which and clearing the floats, but then the testimonials don't flow around the images... can this be done without getting divitis?

I have a footer image on a site and I want to line up some of the text on the left and some of the text on the right. The relevant css footer code is this:

Code:

#footer { 
	clear:both; 
	background:url(images/footer.jpg); 
	width:780px;
	height:71px;
	color:#ffffff;
	font-size:xx-small; 
}

#footer .notover {padding-top:54px;}

The xhtml is this:

Code:

<div id="footer">
	<div class="notover">All this stuff is left aligned 54px from the top of the image.</div>
</div>

Now, how do I add some text on the same line as the class="notover" text that is right aligned? I thought it would be as simple as creating another div that specified text-align:right; but the text shows up right aligned and way below the footer image.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The text in my navigation bar is slightly off-centre, even though I have applied the text-align:centre property in my style sheet. Is there anything obvious that would be throwing it off?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How exactly can i vertically align text in css, i can't seem to find an easy way to do it, i basically want my text to be in the middle of a divs height, so much easier in tables heh.

Tried padding but that then adds to the height, making it pointless for this use

Hi all if you look here -> http://www.prxa.info/gol2/community.php to the right where it has status updates i wish the update itself to align to the top of the avatar images to the left of it?

I would like the align text next to the image and have it flow from the top down. Not adjacent then underneath it.

Once you view the html file, I think you get a better picture of what I'm talking about.

How do I align the text in my navbar vertically?

I'm trying to do this.

edit.... I can't post the link

by adding vertical-align:middle; to my navbar tag and its not working.

Do you see where i'm going wrong?

hi. i'm trying to have some text in a div, but also i want the text align to the bottom of the div. something like. but i don't know how... have a look at http://www.desorden.net/prueba.html

any ideas? thanks in advance
