float: right not working [modified]

[eggsovereasy]

<div style="width: 380px;">   <div style="float: right;">     <div style="height: 40px; vertical-align: middle;">       <asp:Button ID="btnTop" runat="server" Text="Top" CssClass="Button" Width="75px" />     </div>     <div style="height: 40px; vertical-align: middle;">       <asp:Button ID="btnUp" runat="server" Text="Up" CssClass="Button" Width="75px" />     </div>     <div style="height: 40px; vertical-align: middle;">       <asp:Button ID="btnDown" runat="server" Text="Down" CssClass="Button" Width="75px" />     </div>     <div style="height: 40px; vertical-align: middle;">       <asp:Button ID="btnBottom" runat="server" Text="Bottom" CssClass="Button" Width="75px" />     </div>   </div>   <asp:ListBox ID="lbItems" runat="server" Rows="10" Width="300px" Height="166px"></asp:ListBox> </div> I have the above code in an aspx page, but the div with float right appears above the listbox rather than to its right. If I remove the heights from the divs with buttons in them then the buttons appear to the right of hte list box, but they are all bunched together. I could easily acheive what I want here with a table, but I'm trying to make an all CSS page. Basically I want CSS for this table: <table>   <tr>     <td rowspan="4"></td>     <td></td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td></td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td></td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td></td>   </tr> </table> -- modified at 11:01 Tuesday 11th July, 2006

The select element (that the ListBox renders) is an inline tag, and the div element is a block tag. Put the ListBox in a div tag. The vertical-align style only works on table cells. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

You shouldn't need to have a div around every button. That is extra markup and as you can see is actually using more markup than the table. Try something that will end up looking like this: CSS Float Test .btnlist {float:right;width:25%;background-color:#0FF;} .btnlist li {height:40px; list-style:none;}
