I'm trying to create a chat view where if the sender of the message is the 
current user then the message is displayed on the right side and if the 
sender is the other user then the message is displayed on the left So far 
what I have doesn't right or left float the messages, they all appear in 
the same column

chat.html.erb:

<div>
<h3>Conversation with <%= @conversation_with.name %>

<div id="message_holder">
    <% @messages.each do |m| %>
        <% if m.sender=@conversation_with %>
            <div><span class="left-float"><%= m.content %></span><br></div>
        <% else %>
            <div><span class="right-float"><%= m.content %></span><br></div>
        <% end %>
    <% end %>
</div>

application.scss:
    
.left-float
{
float: left;
}

.right-float
{
float: right;
}
