Hello:

I've been fighting something this afternoon that, in my mind, should be quite easy to do. In fact, it probably is, I just don't know yet how to pull this off.


Imagine a document with your name on the left side of the page, your address in the center of the page, and your phone number on the right side of the page - all on the same line. Formatting of this sort is quite common on resume's and such.

At any rate, I can't find a way to have Dreamweaver set this up.

Any information you may have on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Magus

Are you looking for something like this?

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html><head>
<title>Text - Aligned Left, Right and Center</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<p style="width: 90%;"><span style="float: left;">This text is aligned left</span> <span style="float: right;">while this text is aligned right!</span></p>

<div style="width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; border: 1px solid #f00;">
<p style="float: left;">This text is aligned left.</p><p style="float: right;">While this text is aligned right!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This text is centered.</p>


</div>
</body></html>

AstraNut - Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried your solution yet, but glancing over your code, I think you've answered my question. I've been working on web pages, as a hobby mostly, for a few years now and have never worked with the span tag. I'll have to look that one up. Thanks for helping me on this. I already found a solution to this problem but knew there had to be a better way. I'm going to drop you code on a page soon and test it for myself.

Thanks!

You're welcome. That code is just one way to do it. Probably many more, but it was quick tio throw together. :) Good luck.
