You need to float the blocks on the right side not push them over with left margin. Set them to float: right and they'll kick up where you want them. Until you float the elements they want to take up the full width of their parent container.
The float CSS property places an element on the left or right side of its container, allowing text and inline elements to wrap around it. The element is removed from the normal flow of the page, though still remaining a part of the flow (in contrast to absolute positioning).
The elements after the floating element will flow around it. The elements before the floating element will not be affected. If the image floated to the right, the texts flow around it, to the left and if the image floated to the left, the text flows around it, to the right.
You need to float both elements and clear it.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> </head> <body> <div style="border: 1px solid red; width: 100px;"> <a href="#" style="border-color: blue; float: right;">bar</a> <a href="#" style="float:left;">foo</a> <div style="clear:both;"></div> </div> something </body> </html> Or simply put the floating element in front of the normal element like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> </head> <body> <div style="border: 1px solid red; width: 100px;"> <a href="#" style="border-color: blue; float: right;">bar</a> <a href="#">foo</a> </div> something </body> </html> Pardon my english and drawing, but here's briefly how float and clearing works in cross browser:
An element can be floated left or right. When you have element floating, the element doesn't push "normal" content downwards. See why -
Float and clear:
Legend: Orange/Float Right, Blue/Float Left, Gray Lines/Clear divider, Red Rect/bounds
In this case, you have 2 elements of one line text - one float left, and the other float right. When floating, it will not push the contents downwards aka taking space. Thus if you do not use clear:both at the gray lines, the contents below will stack upwards between the 2 floating elements and thus may not be what you want.
When you use clear:both below the floats, the content below the floats will be pushed as far as whichever float element is of highest height. This is shown in the diagram's 2nd and 3rd section.
Float only:
Legend: Orange/Float Right, Blue/Normal content, Gray Lines/the line that is divded with the next, Red Rect/bounds
The blue normal content is already by default text-align: left;. Thus it is left oriented. You need the float to be in front of the normal content because you're telling the browser to float from this line.
You should experiment different conditions to see its effect: putting float in front, behind, float left right, clear both, clear right and left.
