If you want only some of the text in the table to be right alignment.

then

<table>
<tr>
<td> Text </td>
<td style='text-align:right'>  This text is align to right </td>
<td style='text-align:left'> This text is align to the left </td>
</tr>
</table>

Your code actually works, it's just hard to tell in your example. Take a look at this fiddle:

I guess the table is centered due to the parent div (body). I'll use a div with 100% width and align the text inside it to the right Or float the div or table to the rigth
