HTML center text tag - GoFuckYourself.com

eMonk · 11-27-2007, 04:06 PM

Code:

text <center>link</center>

how can i center the link in a table row & keep the text to its default left alignment? when i try to use the code above it moves the text within the center tag down to the next line. i would like it on the same table row without having to create more tables or splitting them up into two. can this do done?

You can't have something left aligned and something centered....
the centered item would have no idea where the center is supposed to be.

The more "text" you have left aligned, the further to the right the "centered" link is going to end up.

ok, guess i will have to create 2 different tables to do this. one for the text & one for the link. i have to do this more then 60 times though. i was hoping for an easier way to do this.

you can do this using some simple css if you so wish

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" title="text/css" media="all">
<!--
#container {
     text-align:center;
       }
#left {
     display: inline;
     float: left;
       }
#center {
     display: inline;
     }
#right {
     display: inline;
     float: right;
       }
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div id="container"><div id="left">left text</div><div id="center">center text</div></td>
</tr>
</table>


</body>
</html>

this should work ok for ya give it a whirl

hell yeah it can just a bit of a fiddle if you cant remember the piece you need but hey there's plenty of css resource sites out there :D

First of all, those should be classes instead of ID's if they're to be done again on the page.... secondly, it still won't work unless the divs have widths specified to them as the divs will adjust according to the length of the divs... again, not properly centering it.

so replace "id" with "class" and "#" with "."?
