Table Data cell with some text left- and some text right-aligned

Is it possible to have some text in a table data cell left-aligned while other text on the same line is right-aligned?

I tried this but it didn't work:

<TD><span style="text-align:left">California</span><span style="text-align:right">CA</span></TD>

Is there a way that does work?

Use float instead of text align. It will work.

Indeed, it does! Thank you very much!

<span style="float:right">CA</span>
