Charles,

CSS
.whatever       {
        float: left;
        width: 15em;
        }
.whatnot        {
        float: right;
        width: 15em;
        }

Markup
<p class="whatnot">This is your right aligned chunk</p>
<p class="whatever">This is your left aligned chunk</p>

You need a width on the element you are floating, unless like
an image it has an implicit width.  Where I used a p element
you could use other elements that better fit your situation.
