My text won't align to the right

[hgeithus]

Hi.

Description of problem: I'm using this CSS-template to build a website: http://www.glish.com/css/7.asp (scroll down at the site to see the full code of the template).

What I did was to create a new CSS element like this:

	.langbar {
		font-size:12px;
		text-align:right;
		}

I have a language bar like this: "ENG | DE | NO" , and I want it to go in the upper right of the site (in the banner). So I placed the following code inside the banner like this:

<div id="banner">
    <span class="langbar"><a href="?locale=en_US">ENG</a> |
    <a href="?locale=de_DE">DE</a> |
    <a href="?locale=nb_NO">NO</a></span>
    </div>

The browser respects the "font-size", but it ignores the "text-align", and I think it's because it's all inside a div tag. But how can I align the text the way I want?
I don't want to go back to using tables for layout, because I like the "floatyness " of the CSS layout.

Any advice is very much appreciated :)

Give this a shot.

<div id='banner'>
	<div class='langbar'>
		   <a href="?locale=en_US">ENG</a> |
   		<a href="?locale=de_DE">DE</a> |
   		<a href="?locale=nb_NO">NO</a>
    </div>
</div>

Once you've edited your code as per Kevin's suggestion, add this too:

.langbar {
            font-size:12px;
            text-align:right;
            float:right;
            }

Hope it helps!

I doubt the float is needed but it will not hurt. The validator is gonna love Glish's doctype. And the gentlepeople who still use the world's most popular browsers are gonna love glish's outdated hacks; and, jumping through hoops to scale his frozen mousetye.

Thank you. :)
Worked out nicely.
