How to align a Button to the Right? - html

Question

Good Afternoon,
I realize this topic has been asked several times and has got several solutions to as I have seen from searching your forums.
But solutions such as,
<input type="button" value="Click Me" **style="float: right;"**>,
Even though do successfully align the button to the right, they overlap my footer as the button is supposed to be right above the footer. This is my code:
.button {
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: #0FA0FF;
border: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
font-size: 15px;
padding: 10px;
width: 200px;
transition: all 0.5s;
cursor: pointer;
margin: 5px;
}
.button span {
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
transition: 0.5s;
}
.button span:after {
content: '\00bb';
position: absolute;
opacity: 0;
top: 0;
right: -20px;
transition: 0.5s;
}
.button:hover span {
padding-right: 25px;
}
.button:hover span:after {
opacity: 1;
right: 0;
}
.containers-fluid {
padding: 20px 50px;
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
}
<button class="button"><span>Proceed to Next Lesson </span>
</button>
<footer class="containers-fluid text-center">
</footer>

Answer 1

Just add style float:right to your button
add this between button and footer
<div class="clearfix"></div>
and css for clearfix
.clearfix{
clear: both;
}

Answer 2

You can use float:right and set the position attribute to relative

Answer 3

Just wrap them both inside a container with display:flex;flex-direction:row; and then apply margin-right:0; to the button.
See the code below
.container{
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
}
.button {
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: #0FA0FF;
border: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
font-size: 15px;
padding: 10px;
width: 200px;
transition: all 0.5s;
cursor: pointer;
margin: 5px 0 5px auto;
}
.button span {
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
transition: 0.5s;
}
.button span:after {
content: '\00bb';
position: absolute;
opacity: 0;
top: 0;
right: -20px;
transition: 0.5s;
}
.button:hover span {
padding-right: 25px;
}
.button:hover span:after {
opacity: 1;
right: 0;
}
.containers-fluid {
padding: 20px 50px;
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
}
<div class="container">
<button class="button"><span>Proceed to Next Lesson </span>
</button>
<footer class="containers-fluid text-center">
</footer>
</div>
