I am curious about using align="right" vs style="text-align:right".

I have set up styles to left justify my <td> tags (because of a problem with
having to using loose.dtd).

I have some <td> tags that I need to right justify and I assume that
align=right on specific tags would override the style. The problem was it
didn't. I did find that using style="text-align:right" would override the
style.

Why is that?

I had used style="vertical-align:top" before and was mentioned that it would
be better to use the valign=top.

What is the difference here?

Thanks,

Tom
