text align right in a span

Tags:

mautic

I am a little bit in doubt how I solve this the best way. In the footer of this page: Portfolio , there is the following:

04-11-2016 : Design In Portfolio

05-11-2016 : Hvad er Mautic?

06-11-2016 : Some text

I would like that the date is right aligned, but only the date. There I thought I could set it in a span? I tried with this html but that is of course not a solution:

HTML

<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4">
                <div class="footeritem">
                    <h4>Nyheder</h4>
                    <ul class="popular-posts">
                        <li>
                            <a href="#" target="_blank">
                                
                                Design In Portfolio&emsp;&emsp;<span class="newsDate">06-11-2016</span>
                            </a>
                        </li>
                        <li>
                            <a href="#" target="_blank">
                                Hvad er Mautic? &emsp;&emsp;&emsp;<span class="newsDate">06-11-2016</span>
                                
                            </a>
                        </li>
                        <li>
                            <a href="#" target="_blank">
                                Some text&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;<span class="newsDate">06-11-2016</span>
                                
                            </a>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </div>

CSS

.newsDate {
    font-weight: 100;
    text-align: right;
}

You can try this:-

 float:right;

Its contained inside a block element so add "float: right" to those spans to get your right alignment =).

Edit. Someone shot down the float idea in a now deleted comment. Floating does present some layout ugliness for when your text on the left becomes too large. You could instead use a fancy flex solution that will hold up across different context a bit better.

For flex, set the anchor to "display: flex" and the span to "flex: 1; text-align: right; white-space: nowrap;".
