How do I control the horizontal position of trigger elements on the form?

This is probably a very stupid question, but it has me stumped! I have a relatively complex form which includes a table and a number of buttons, for both submit and trigger actions.
I would like some of these buttons to be aligned on the right-hand side of the page. However, this does not seem to be possible!
I am using my own css, and have tried using float:right or float:0px; in the .css file, without success.

I have even tried the brute force option of using align = "right" within the trigger itself, e.g.

<xf:trigger appearance="full" align="right">
<xf:label>Help</xf:label>
<xxforms:show ev:event="DOMActivate" dialog="helpDialog"/>
</xf:trigger>

Would anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

One way is to place the triggers within an xhtml:div and float the div
to the right. E.g.:

<xhtml:div class="buttons">
<xforms:trigger>
...

.buttons { clear:both; float: right }
