Problem using CSS for alignment in nav bar

[jjjlda]

I have been handed a style sheet for a website that I do work on and I
am having trouble getting some text in the location I want. I am a
novice at style sheets and I was hoping someone might provide some
help. Basically, there is a navigation bar at the top of the page,
and everything is aligned ot the left. I am trying to add a user
account system to the site and I want to add a login and register link
to the nav bar with the same formatting except that I want it aligned
to the right. Can someone help me with this problem? Here is the css
file and the page I am trying to add it to. I have added a comment to
the html to show the links I would like to align to the right. I have
also been unsuccessful in keeping the formatting for these new links
but removing the white box that surrounds them. Thank you in advance
for any help you can provide.

You will have to give your two special links a class (<li class="extraOption">) and say in the style for this class that they should float right instead of left. That should make it work like you want to.
