[RESOLVED] Float ASP.NET elements to right in div tbl?

[stephsh]

have created a placeholder with three elements in it. I want the elements to be positioned to the right hand side of the placeholder. A big margin however appears between the element positioned most to the right (logoutBtn) and the end of the placeholder div table. Using a webdesigning tool I however saw that no element was positioned there.

Any suggestions on how I could remove this? The name of the user logging on (in this case "testuser Azubiportal") always changes so I don't want to set an exact position for each element, I prefer to use float.

Stylesheet:

(...)
.placeholder {
height: 23px;
width: 768px;
border-top: dashed 1px #3A9DCB;
border-bottom: dashed 1px #3A9DCB;
background-color: #f6f6f6;
}
.logoutBtn {
position: relative;
float: right; 
font-size: smaller;
padding-top: 4px;
text-align: right;
}
.loginName 
{
position: relative;
float: right; 
font-size:smaller;
padding-top: 4px; 
}
.logAs {
float: right;
position: relative;
font-size:smaller;
color: #3A9DCB;
padding-top: 4px;
}

Additional space is created due to possible flaws in your "outer" layer or table's set properties (an additional column exists somewhere while no span of row or col has been called yet),
this is not aASP fault, its a design one

Didnt know that was possible!

I messed around some more and changed the "float" property of the three elements to "inherit" and added the property "float: right" to the div containing those elements... now it works!

Do you know why one also has to specify the property in the div?
