Hello,
Just wondering what the difference is between "float" and "align"? If I
align a picture to the left, is that not the same as floating it? Can align
and float be used together or do you use one or the other?
Thanks for your replies...

The main difference is that in CSS 1 & 2 there is no property
"align" whereas the property "float" exists. The property
"text-align" applies to the *content* of a box, while "float"
applies to the box itself.

Is "align" an HTML tag, then? And would it be the same as "float"?

It's an HTML *attribute*--a deprecated one. Only when used with TABLE
and IMG and set to certain values, it has the same basic function as CSS
float.

Float means same every time, align means different things when used on
different elements or values.

Not always, but should be.
Can align and float be used together
Yes,
or do you use one or the other?
Use float, and of course text-lign and margin instead of align.

"ALIGN" is a deprecated HTML attribute. It was applied to many
different elements. In some contexts it was supposed to be
similar to the style float. In others it was supposed to be
like text-align. As it was rendered in some browsers, it looked
like both float and text-align. That is <DIV ALIGN="center">
in many browsers would both center the DIV and everything
within it. In other words, it would take the place of the
really, really deprecated <CENTER> tag in some browsers.
Interpretations of the ALIGN attribute still vary according
to element and browser. The css properties float and text-align
are now more consistently rendered by more (current) browsers
across more (appropriate) elements than ALIGN ever was. So
I suggest that instead of trying to untangle ALIGN, use css
to get a better chance of having what you want in more browsers.
The property "text-align" applies to the *content* of a box,
while "float" applies to the box itself.

I've been banging my head against an interaction between a table and float element.
I want the two of them to together take up 100% of the width of their container. If the table cells' content were to wrap around the float, even better, but that's not necessary.
However, I'm continuously running into two issues:
1.) If I make my table 100%, it writes over the float: right for tables where the content text is long enough.
2.) If I...
