span to float right within a div

22 New Member
I have a navbar in a div, with several links. The last one is in a <span> because I want it to float to the right by itself. The span does float right, but it shows up below the navbar div. I want it within the div.

Is this doable? Thanks.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <?php
  2.  
  3. echo "<p>";
  4. echo '<div id="navbar">
  5.            <a href="edit_reg.php">edit</a> 
  6. &nbsp;<a href="undelete.php">undelete</a>
  7. &nbsp;<a href="print_reg.php">print</a>
  8. &nbsp;<a href="rep_sum.php">summary</a>
  9. <span style="float: right"><a href="index.php">reg page</a></span>
  10. </div><p>';
  11.  
  12. ?>

I guess it's better to post the HTML output rather than just the PHP source:


Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <p>
  2. <div id="navbar">
  3.       <a href="edit_reg.php">edit</a> 
  4. &nbsp;<a href="undelete.php">undelete</a>
  5. &nbsp;<a href="print_reg.php">print</a>
  6. &nbsp;<a href="rep_sum.php">summary</a>
  7. <span style="float: right"><a href="index.php">reg page</a></span>
  8. </div>

See if this works for you...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. CSS
  3. #navlist li{
  4. display: inline;
  5. list-style-type: none;
  6. padding-right: 20px;
  7. }
  8. .c1 {float:right;}
  9.  
  10.  
  11. HTML
  12.  
  13. <div id="navcontainer">
  14. <ul id="navlist">
  15. <li><a href="#">Item one</a></li>
  16. <li><a href="#">Item two</a></li>
  17. <li><a href="#">Item three</a></li>
  18. <li><a href="#">Item four</a></li>
  19. <li class="c1"><a href="#">Item five</a></li>
  20. </ul>
  21. </div>

Thanks, David. Unfortunately, that similarly drops down the right-floated item (in IE7 and FF2).

I guess I'll have to live with it... or use a table.

Sorry. My bad!
Same HTML as in previous example with this CSS:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. html, body {margin:0;padding:0;}
  2. body {
  3. font : 100% arial, sans-serif;
  4. }
  5. #navcontainer ul{
  6. margin:0;
  7. padding: 0;
  8. }
  9.  
  10. #navlist li{
  11. float:left;
  12. padding-right:20px;
  13. display: inline;
  14. list-style-type: none;
  15. }
  16. .c1 {position:absolute;top: 0; right: 20px;}
  17.  
Quick checked in IE/6, IE/7, Win FF/2.0.0.14, Mac FF3.0.1, Mac Safari, Mac Opera.

okay, thanks for conveying the concept of absolute positioning

I would have to fine tune the location by pixels, to match

Although it shows up "below", it is still part of your navbar DIV.
The solution is very simple. You need to do your floats first (both left and right) followed by your "middle bits".
If you move <span style="float: right">... from the end of the navbar DIV to the beginning of the DIV, then everything fits on one line the way you want.
Think of it this way: You can't introduce FLOAT content which causes previously-rendered content to be pushed out of the way.

Greetings, I've been playing with CSS inline floats of <span> elements and the results are not quite what I would expect. In the example attached at the end of this post, I would expect the floated span 2 to be on the same line as span 1, but instead it is on the same line as span 3, which is on the line below span 1.

Hi, I have a div to provide a background image for a menu. I'd like to position the menu on the right side but I can't seem to find a right way of doing it. The only way the menu will move to the right if I set text-align=right in the div. The problem is that menu items are then also aligned on right side. Not only that but this alignment works only in IE. Could someone please let me know how to right-align the menu?
