    Arrow [Resolved] Proper way to CSS align a form

    N00b question...
    How do I use CSS to align a form to the right, when its vertical postion is absolute?

    At the moment I have this
    HTML Code:
    <span style="position:absolute;top:335px;horizontal-align:right; margin-right: 20px;">
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search" target="_blank">
<!-- ... -->
</form></span>
    It was working once, but now it isn't

    Thanks! I should have thought of that

    So what's the difference between margin-right and right? They seem to give me the same results.

    Margin-right sets the right margin of an element and right sets how far the right edge of an element is to the left/right of the right edge of the parent element

    So I guess in this case (since my form is directly on the body) they mean exactly the same thing, correct?
