Need some basic HTML help... any HTML gurus in here?

[thahenchman]

How do you align two different text strings, one on the left side and one on the right side of the same line?

Is it possible to do this without using tables?

Thanks!

I'm trying to make it look like this... pretend the [ ] are the edges of the screen

[text here, aligned left ------------------------empty/blank space------------------------------- text here, aligned right]

bump for help

tables or CSS are the only ways I am aware of.

< html>
< body>
< span style="float: left">here is some text on the left< /span>
< span style="float: right">here is some text on the right< /span>
< /body>
< /html>

<div align="left">left aligned text</div><div align="right">right aligned text</div>...there are several ways to do this...My way will involve CSS and z-positioning to keep it on the same line, however

"align" is a deprecated attribute.. DeRusto's technique is the correct way of doing this

 

[voodoochylde]

My method isn't deprecated...it's "delicately aged and slightly less common" Thanks for the heads up though, I haven't actually worked with this in well over a year

Aww cool, I've always been putting it into a table with two columns to get this effect. Will use this from now on. Thanks DeRusto
