Uses class names such as right, considered bad practice?

Question

If I have class names like "left", "right", "clear" and xhtml like

<a href="index.php" class="right continueLink">Continue</a>

With CSS like

.right {
float: right;
}

I know this is not a semantic name, but sometimes it is much easier.

Anyway, what are your thoughts?

Answer 1

I do not think this is a very good idea. Now, when you (or the future maintainer) change your site layout, you will either have to change .rightto {float:left;}(obviously a bad idea) or browse all your HTML files and change rightto left.
