Alignment is the positioning of text or buttons in different places like right, left or center on an HTML web page. We can easily use the alignment properties to place our text, images or other elements anywhere on the web page.

There may be different solutions and properties, but in this article, we will focus on text-align and float properties to align the button to the right side of the web page.

Properties for right-aligning buttons

As mentioned earlier, there may be different CSS properties to align text, images, buttons, etc. These properties help in positioning elements in HTML and customizing the design.

We have two different alignment properties in CSS to align buttons in HTML:

1. The text-align Property
2. float property

Use the text-align attribute to right-align a button in HTML

The text-align property helps us to align the button at a specific position like right, left, center. Using this property, first, place the button <div>inside the <img src="https://github.com/openwrt/blob/master/text-align ..." /> tag.

After that, to align the button to the right side of the page, you have to <div>use the CSS text-align property on the element and pass the value right to this property to align the button to the right.

Sample code:

<style>
    .btn-text-right{
        text-align: right;
        }
</style>
<div class="btn-text-right">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Right Align Button</button>
</div>

Use float attribute to right align button in HTML

In addition to the above properties, we can also use CSS float property to achieve button alignment. We can use float to move the button to the left or right position.

In this article, we will focus only on correct alignment. So, to move the button to the right position, we have to use the CSS float property and put right as its value.

Sample code:

<style>
    .btn-float-right {
        float: right;
    }
</style>
<button type="button" class="btn-float-right">Right Float Button</button>

Best CSS properties for button alignment

In both examples above, we recommend using the CSS text-align property to align the buttons, because the CSS float property can sometimes cause problems. The problem caused by the float property is that the button overlaps other elements, which can break the page.

Developers don’t want this to happen in their designs, so they use CSS text-align property to align the buttons. This is the best way to align the button to the desired position.

text-align is the most commonly used property for aligning buttons.
