css Get element to move to right within other element

Question

I am working on a calendar app and having trouble getting the date to move where I want it within the day. Specifically, with the square for the date, I cannot get the day number to move to the top right. have tried float:right and align-text: right without success. Here is a jsfiddle and the code:

css

table.calendar {
    table-layout: fixed;
    width: 520px;
}
span.day-number  {
    vertical-align:top; 
//    text-aligh:right;
    background:#999; 
    z-index:2; 
    top:0px; 
    align-right:+70px; 
    padding:4px; 
    color:#fff; 
    font-weight:bold; 
    width:18px; 
    text-align:center;
}
td.calendar-day, td.calendar-day-np {
 //   float:left;
    vertical-align:top; 
    width:70px; 
    padding:5px 25px 5px 5px; 
    border-bottom:1px solid #999; 
    border-right:1px solid #999; 
}
div.event {
    display:inline;
    position:relative; 
    z-index:3; 
    top:15px;
    text-width: 70px;
}

html

 <table class="calendar">
    <tr>
        <td>Mon</td>
        <td>Tue</td>
        <td>Wed</td>
        <td>Thur</td>
        <td>Fri</td>
</tr>
<tr>
         <td class="calendar-day"><span class="day-number">14</span><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p></td>
    <td class="calendar-day"><span class="day-number">15</span><div>&nbsp;</div>&nbsp;</td>
<td class="calendar-day"><span class="day-number">16</span><div class="event">4:00PM<br>Go to gym</div></td>
    <td class="calendar-day"></td>
    <td class="calendar-day"><span class="day-number">18</span><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p></td>
            </tr></table>

CSS is not my strong suite so I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Add the following in your CSS.

span.day-number  {
display:block;
float:right;
...
}

div.event {
display:inline; /* remove this line */ 
clear:right;
...
}

Update padding:

td.calendar-day, td.calendar-day-np {
padding:5px 5px 5px 5px; 
...

}
