CSS - Align The Text Left, But On The Right
Confused yet?
What's the best way to accomplish this? page testimonials.css Main.CSS If you look at the page, you will see that I have the "signature" of the testimonial giver aligned right, but I would like the two p elements to be aligned along their left edge as well (but on the right side of the page, with everything flowing around any images)... I tried floating them right, which and clearing the floats, but then the testimonials don't flow around the images... can this be done without getting divitis? Similar TutorialsI'm having cross-browser compatibility with my website. On the right hand side I want to have images on the right and text to its left. I've tried variations of html/css but one seems to work with one browser and then not with the other. In safari it looks fine right now. http://www.ryanbuckley.ca/photos/ Can anyone help with this little annoyance? Thanks in advance! Ryan When i float my div to the left, i cant seem to get the text to align right, can someone show me a way out of this horriable predicament i have found my self in!! I have a header wrapper for a column heading that sets the width and background of the column header. In that column header I have a tag for the header title, which is aligned left. Know, I find that the customer wants to add an "As of Date", on the same line, but wants it aligned right. Is this even possible to do? I cannot seem to come up with the correct .css code that would allow me to do this. html code Code: <div class="wide_column_header"><span class="headerbartext">Make Your Enrollment Selection</span><span class="headerbartextright">As of 3/31/2008</span></div> css tags: Code: .wide_column_header { float:left; width:558px; margin:0 0 0 5px; background-image:url(../images/wide_header.jpg); height:21px; font-size:100%; font-weight:900; line-height:100%; vertical-align:bottom; color:#fff;} .headerbartext { font-size: 12px; font-weight:bold; text-align:right; padding-left:15px; line-height: 140%;} .headerbartextright { font-size: 12px; font-weight:bold; text-align:right; padding-right:15px; line-height: 140%;} I used a form generator online that utilizes CSS and PHP. I am very comfortable with programming; but, I have never used CSS. I tried tweaking everything I could and no luck changing the CSS to left-align the entire form. I thought they used padding; but, I can't figure out where. Also, I removed the CSS to make sure the alignment wasn't part of the HTML - it is definitely embedded in the CSS as the form left-aligned (just not as attractive). Here is the CSS - apologies for the length. As you will undoubtedly see, this is my first post and I am not sure of your protocols for posting code. body { background:#fffff; font-family:"Lucida Grande", Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:small; margin:8px 0 16px; text-align:left; } #form_container { background:#fff; border:1px solid #ccc; margin:0 auto; text-align:left; width:640px; } #top { display:block; height:10px; margin:10px auto 0; width:650px; } #footer { width:640px; clear:both; color:#999999; text-align:left; width:640px; padding-bottom: 15px; font-size: 85%; } #footer a{ color:#999999; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999999; } #bottom { display:block; height:10px; margin:0 auto; width:650px; } form.appnitro { margin:0px 0px 0; padding:0 0 20px; } There is much more CSS; but, I believe the issue is isolated to this section. Hi everyone, I just have this pain with aligning the whole red thing to left of the page browser (cause it just keeps hanging on the center) - you can check my homepage below - you will see the problem - what should I do to move the whole thing to left? Thank you in advance. Can't get flash anim to line up with left hand margin in IE. FF & Op fine. It's about 15px indented in IE. Don't have anything online - extract of code below... Anything obvious? Many thanks: <div id="movie_position"> <object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,79,0" id="Movie1" width="500" height="328" > <param name="movie" value="Movie1.swf"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain"> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" name="Movie1" width="500" height="350" src="Movie1.swf" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" quality="high" swliveconnect="true" allowscriptaccess="samedomain" wmode="transparent"> <noembed> </noembed> </embed> </object> </div> AND THE RELEVANT CSS: #container { margin:0 auto; width: 760px; text-align:left; } body { margin:0px; padding:0px; text-align: center; background-color :#FFF; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #000; line-height: 16pt; } h1 { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #7DA1E7; font-size: 15pt; text-align: justify; } h2 { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: #7DA1E7; font-size: 24pt; text-align: justify; padding: 20 0 0 0; } #movie_position { position: relative; left: 0; } Hi all, We have a table layout we're experiencing some issues with on users that have smaller screens. Below is a simple 1 row example of elements contained in our div tables Code: <div class="tracks-result-page" style=""> <div class="track-element"> <input class="track-select-checkbox" type="checkbox"><h4 class="track-name">Track</h4><span class="created-date">23-Jul-2008 17:13</span><span class="duration">47m</span><a href="#" class="view-button">view</a><a href="/viewtrack" class="edit-button">edit</a><a href="#" class="details-button">show details</a><input value="d5f173a2-b35e-4489-b468-33a05b1e4997" class="track-id" type="hidden"> </div> <div class="track-element"> ....more elements </div> </div> Basically, I have 800 px to fit this data in from our site template. What's happening is on smaller resolutions, the 3 anchor tags aren't fitting in 800 px due to large font size vs table width, and the anchor elements are wrapping around. I have a lot of white space after the description, and currently have a fixed width on that div. What I need is to right align everything from the "created-date" class to the end of the element, then left align the "track-select-checkbox" and the "track-name" elements. I'm having a really tough time doing this for some reason. I can't use "float:right;" on the elements that need right aligned. If I do, they all appear in reverse order! Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Todd Hello, Is there a way to have padding (say 15px) all around a cell, but allow for expections, like having one div element float:left and align far left against cell border while everything else is inset 15px. ie. Code: <style> #menubox { float:left; margin-left:15px; margin-bottom:7px; } .main_cell { padding:15px; } </style> <body> <table width=600 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr> <td valign=top class="main_cell"><div id="menubox">table with menu items taht is achored far left against cell wall</div> Some text that wraps around "menubox" but needs to be padded around cell walls.</td> </tr> </table> </body> Thanks, Rey How does one align the text to the left of a div? I have "text-align:left;" specified, however the text is centered when it is too narrow to fill the screen. The URL of the page in question is http://what-is-what.com . If you type an illegal character, such as "=", in the Ask box then the narrow text that is returned appears centered. Other narrow pages on the same site do the same, of course. Tested in Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Ubuntu. I'm having a bit of mental block. How do I achieve the following: 100% width div LEFT SPAN (left aligned) | MIDDLE SPAN (centre aligned) | RIGHT SPAN (right aligned) I thought it was possible in one div rather than having to go the three column layout route? I have the following CSS: Code: span.title { {color:#c38ec7;text-decoration: underline;font-family: forte;font-variant:small-caps;font-weight:bold;font-size:165%} } ... it works fine but when I try and put 'text-align:center;' that attribute does not seem to work. Is there any way of doing this??? Thanks I'm creating a dynamic calendar and I can't get the numbers in the cells of my calendar table to align top-right! Here is my unformatted table... Code: <tr height="75"> <td><div align="right">12</div></td> <td><div style="vertical-align:top; text-align:right">13</div></td> <td>14</td> <td>15</td> <td>16</td> <td>17</td> <td>18</td> </tr> I want the numbers to be aligned top right, but if I put other data in there(currently there is none, but there will be), I'd like it to be aligned left. I tried using the vertical-align property in a div tag, but that didn't do anything... I can get it to align right with a div tag... sorry if it's such a stupid quesiton... Also, a side note... I thought that span allows you to align text as well using the style property, but that doesn't work at all (not even just to the right) OK I have a layer that is described here : div#footer { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height:14; background-color: #EED; font: 10px Verdana, sans-serif;} In this layer I wish to have some text in the left of the bar and at the far right (align-right) some text also ... how would i achieve this ??? -Thanks- I have both Chinese characters and English characters in one paragraph, but they don't align to the bottom with the English characters appearing like <sup>. I have used 'vertical-align' to align the text, but not successful. Pls help. Hi there, ahhhh I have just decided to start using Firefox and now am rreworking my site.

How can I get the text to align to the right? - thanks How do I create centered left-justified text? I want it to look something like this: +---------------SUPPOSE THIS IS MY PAGE---------------+ This paragraph is centered with respect to the page, but note that the text is wrapped around and left-justified within the paragraph. +-----------------------------------------------------+ Can I achieve that with CSS without using tables and manipulating cell widths and cell alignments? . hi, i'm wondering whether anyone here knows something that i don't about this... here's some code: Code: <div style="position:absolute; left:30px; top:90px; width:380px; height:80px; border: 3px double #000000; padding:10px; padding-top:5px; line-height:150%"> <table width="380" height="80" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0> <tr> <td valign="middle"> <div align="center" style="width:380px;"> <span style="font-size:11px; text-align:left;"> aligned to the left.<BR> but is it centered?<BR> i think not.<BR> </span> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> i'm able to achieve vertically centered text in the table cell, and i can center it or align it to the left, but so far in my experimenting i haven't found a way to have text that is aligned to the left, centered in the div. i could always just add a bunch of padding-left on the div so that the text is pushed over and looks nicer although it is not centered, but i'm wondering whether there's a way to do it the way i originally planned to.. thanks very much for looking at this. i wish to have two bits of text show as described in subject this is the code i have at present. i know that i have used a style for an image but how do i do this for text ? thanks Code: <style> img.floatRight { float: right; margin: 15px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 3px; } </style> left text here<b class="floatRight"> right text here</b> How exactly can i vertically align text in css, i can't seem to find an easy way to do it, i basically want my text to be in the middle of a divs height, so much easier in tables heh. Tried padding but that then adds to the height, making it pointless for this use |
