Basic HTML Question : How do I align something to left, while something else on right

[Kenji4861]

I have one line of text. I want part of it to be left aligned while another is right aligned. How do I do this?

My attempt so far.

<div align='left'>left</div><div align="right">right</div>

how about a table. 1 row, 2 cells.

<div>
<div align="left" style="float:left; width:50% ">
Some Text on the left</div>
<div align="right" style="float:right; width:50% ">
Some Text on the right</div>
</div>

btw this isn't that "basic" of a solution 😉

That's how I'd do it.

I prefer the CSS solution, but tables are definitely the best for a simple single page app.

After a long time, I figured out that this has some problems on older browsers.. like Mac IE 5.5
