Float div's to the right in left-to-right order?

Question

I have multiple div\'s I want to display in a horizontal row. Normally, the way I\'d do this is to simply float them to the right and put them in the markup in reverse order

Answer 1

You could give float: right to the outer div. And the display style of the inner div is inline-block

 <div style="float: right" >
      <div style="display:inline-block">Left</div>
      <div style="display:inline-block">Middle</div>
      <div style="display:inline-block">Right</div>
 </div>

Answer 2

You could apply a text-align: right to the container and a display: inline-block in place of the floating:

<div style="text-align: right">
  <div style="display:inline-block">Left</div>
  <div style="display:inline-block">Middle</div>
  <div style="display:inline-block">Right</div>
</div>

Answer 3

Using display:inline-block might not work as expected with elements of variable height.

So you might want to use:

<div style="float: right">
      <div style="float:left">Left</div>
      <div style="float:left">Middle</div>
      <div style="float:left">Right</div>
</div>

See: demo of both -- inline and float-float.

Answer 4

Float your elements to the left.

  <div>
    <div style="float: left; position: relative; width: 200px;">Left</div> <!-- dummy width -->
    <div style="float: left; position: relative; width: 200px;">Middle</div> <!-- dummy width -->
    <div style="float: left; position: relative; width: 200px;">Right</div> <!-- dummy width -->
  </div>

Also, you'll need to specify the width for each of these divs.

What is your reasoning behind floating them to the right?
