Why can I not right-align an element with display: block and width: X?
css, layout, text-alignment
Solution
The text is aligned right inside a 150px box. That is correct. A block element will not align to text-align in the parent.
To fix this you need to use either `display: inline-block` or `float: right` on the .width div.
edit: with float, add `clear: right` to avoid it being on the same line as the previous div
Problem
Total n00b question here (at least to the CSS elite): Why is it that an element with both `display: block;` and a value for `width` does not seem to fall in line with the `text-align` property of its parent? That is, it always seems to insist on keeping to the left. Here is a jsFiddle illustrating the issue. Obviously, this must be consistent with the CSS spec (I mean, if Chrome, Firefox and Opera all agree on it, I have very little doubt); I just don't really get it.
