title: css footer - trying to split into 2 columns
body: <p>I'm trying to split my footer so that there is left aligned and right aligned text.  I have the following but the two elements are displaying one after the other:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#footer {
      clear: both;
      background-color: #330066;
      padding: .5em;
      font-size: 0.8em;
      color: #fff;
  }
  
  #footer p .left {
      text-align:left;
      float:left;
  }
  
  #footer p .right {
      float:right;
      text-align:right;
  }
  
  
  &lt;div id="footer"&gt;
      &lt;p class="left"&gt;

      &lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p class="right"&gt;
          Designed by xxxxxx
      &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Should be really simple I'm sure but I just can't get it working - can anyone offer any advise please?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
