It is not a good idea, in my experience, to use floats in that way,
but if it works - consistently - then i guess there is no real reason
not to, it just doesn't feel right...
I would avoid going down the road of using inline-block, IE will not
completely support it until IE8 is released, and Fir
Why is this bad markup? it works...

Thanks... I was just playing with float but I set the input to
float:left and the span to float:right thinking it was something to do
with justification. I kind of got it working but it didn't look right
in Chrome. Perhaps your way works better but I'll sack it off if it's
bad coding... Thanks tho

Its absolute position will be relative to the container div, not the page.

However...
I feel bad telling you that - this is bad markup - perhaps you could
explain why you are trying to do this, or what the bigger picture here
is?
As stated by Andy, setting span, an inline element, to display:block,

Yes that works...
What I'm trying to do is display a SPAN atg at the end of an Input
text field of a fixed size. If I set the display to block, it is
forcing itself to be on the next line.
Have you got any idea on how I can do this?
Cheers,
Nick

Ah right, ok...
Cheers for the replies...
I'm guessing applying display:block is the same as just making it a
DIV?

Span is an inline element and cannot have a width applied to it, unless you
display it as a block, which would sort of defeat the purpose of having it
inline.
