Bryan,
The HTML align attribute is deprecated and should be avoided if possible.
The CSS float property is the preferred method of achieving what you have
described. The presentation of the table you have described behaves
similarly in both cases, but the CSS is the supported method for future
compatibility. Lastly, you would do best to avoid using inline CSS like the
example you described in favor of either embedded or external styles. In
the latter, best case scenario, you would create a style declaration
something like .floatRight{float:right;} and then put a class="floatRight"
attribute in your <table> tag as such: <table
class="floatRight">...</table>.
Hope this helps!
-Jeff

Hi Brian. Yes. When you cause text to float left or right, The text will
scroll left or right as your page does so. When you cause the text to be
aligned right or left, then all corresponding starting and ending text on
separate lines of the text on your page will be aligned exactly to each
other, either on the right or on the left of your page as your CSS
instructions would instruct them too. Cheers!

Subject: CSS Float Versus Align= Right or Left?
Is there any difference between CSS's Style="Float:Right;" and
Align="Right"?
For instance, by applying each one of these attributes to a Table tag, it
should align the table with the right side of the page,
and wrap all surrounding text to the left of that space.
Is one method more reliable than the other for this purpose? Is one
method more widely supported? Is it reliable to simply put both of these
attributes within the same tag all the time?
Thanks,
Bryan
