You have to write it this way:

<td>
<span class=linkpos>
<a href=details. php?id=3&Type_view= detail&Type_Submit=&key_word= see
details</a>
</span>

</td>

The float has to be before the static element, otherwise your browser
does not recognize where to float...

Floating an inline element like <span> is illogical,
therefore browsers seem to change it to a block element.

Better use a <div>.
