This does help, thanks.
I don't believe it will be possible though, to implement an external style
in this case. I run an RSS service from my site, which writes the content of
any news feed on to the user's page.
In order to implement an external style solution, I would need to program
the JavaScript to change the Style tag within their header, which would
violate my own privacy policy, and may conflict with their own style
declarations.
Using CSS within the table tag seems best. My fear was that, by changing the
current implementation which uses the Align attribute to CSS, this would
somehow throw off the alignment on all of the peoples pages who are
currently using the script.
This doesn't seem to be the case though, which makes the job much easier.
Thanks,
Bryan

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!

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!

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
