You may be able to use absolute positioning   The container box should be set to position  relative   The top-right text should be set to position  absolute  top  0  right  0  The bottom-right text should be set to position  absolute  bottom  0  right  0   You ll need to experiment with padding to stop the main contents of the box from running underneath the absolute positioned elements  as they exist outside the normal flow of the text contents

The first line would consist of 3  lt div gt s  One outer that contains two inner  lt div gt s  The first inner  lt div gt  would have float left which would make sure it stays to the left  the second would have float right  which would stick it to the right    lt div style  width 500 height 50  gt  lt br gt   lt div style  float left   gt stuff  lt  div gt  lt br gt   lt div style  float right   gt stuff  lt  div gt        obviously the inline-styling isn t the best idea - but you get the point   2 3  and 4 would be single  lt div gt s   5 would work like 1

You only need to float the div element to the right and give it a margin  Make sure dont use  absolute  for this case    date     margin-right 5px    position relative    float right

Float right the text you want to appear on the right  and in the markup make sure that this text and its surrounding span occurs before the text that should be on the left   If it doesn t occur first  you may have problems with the floated text appearing on a different line    lt html gt     lt body gt       lt div gt         lt span style  float right  gt here lt  span gt Lorem Ipsum etc lt br  gt        blah lt br  gt        blah blah lt br  gt        blah lt br  gt         lt span style  float right  gt and here lt  span gt lorem ipsums lt br  gt       lt  div gt     lt  body gt   lt  html gt    Note that this works for any line  not just the top and bottom corners

If the position of the element containing the Lorum Ipsum is set absolute  you can specify the position via CSS  The  here  and  and here  elements would need to be contained in a block level element  I ll use markup like this   print   lt div id  lipsum  gt     print   lt div id  here  gt     print    here    print   lt  div gt     print   lt div id  andhere  gt     print  and here    print   lt  div gt     print  blah    print   lt  div gt       Here s the CSS for above     lipsum  position absolute top 0 left 0      example     here  position absolute top 0 right 0    andhere  position absolute bottom 0 right 0     Again  the above only works  reliably  if  lipsum is positioned via absolute   If not  you ll need to use the float property     here   andhere  float right     You ll also need to put your markup in the appropriate place  For better presentation  your two divs will probably need some padding and margins so that the text doesn t all run together
