css - Float right and position absolute doesn't work together

Question

I want a div to be always at the right of its parent div, so I use float:right. It works.

But I also want it to not affect other content when inserted, so I use position:absolute.

Now float:right doesn't work, my div is always at the left of its parent div. How can I move it to the right?

Answer 1

Use

position:absolute; right: 0;

No need for float:right with absolute positioning

Also, make sure the parent element is set to position:relative;
