Align icon to the right in a table cell?

Question

I have a simple table cell which contains a text and an icon. I want to align the text on the left and the icon on the right. I tried it like this, but it does not work. The only solution i know would be to create another td where i put the icon inside. But i want both, text and icon in one td

    table {
        border: 1px solid red;
    }

    td {
      border: 1px solid black;
      width: 200px;
    }

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>Text <span align="right"><i class="fa fa-toggle-on"></i></span></td>
      <td>Test</td>
    </tr>
    </table>

Answer 1

Try to use

style="float:right;"

like this:

table {
    border: 1px solid red;
}

td {
  border: 1px solid black;
  width: 200px;
}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

<table>
<tr>
<td>Text <span style="float:right;"><i class="fa fa-toggle-on"></i></span></td>
  <td>Test</td>
</tr>
</table>

Also as webeno has correctly pointed out in comments, the align attribute has been deprecated now. So try to avoid it.

Answer 2

If you want them in same td(not adding another for icon) you can try this:

<td>
  <div style="float:left;width:50%;">I stay at left</div>
  <div style="float:right;width:50%;">And I stay at right</div>
</td>

    table {
        border: 1px solid red;
    }

    td {
      border: 1px solid black;
      width: 200px;
    }

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>Text <span ><i class="fa fa-toggle-on pull-right"></i></span></td>
      <td>Test</td>
    </tr>
    </table>

this is the best way i think...

Answer 4

Just add will make your icon to right side.

span {
    float: right;
}

Your updated example:

table {
    border: 1px solid red;
}

td {
  border: 1px solid black;
  width: 200px;
}

td > span {
    float: right;
}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Text <span><i class="fa fa-toggle-on"></i></span></td>
  <td>Test</td>
</tr>
</table>
