align=justify? 3

[theocraticmind]

is it postble to have a sort of collum align? ms word calls it "justify", it sits right beside "left", "center", and "right". it spaces all the words/letters so that they fit perfectly (or close) in the space they have.

u means ?
<td align=&quot;center&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; ...
?

someone else knowledge starts

 

[theocraticmind]

no. it's like this:

right align:
|text text |
|bfsdg d |
|dsfg d fg |
|dfggj fgjg|
|ghgfjgjf |

justified alignment:

|text text|
|bfsdg d|
|dsfg d fg|
|dfggj fgjg|
|ghgfjgjf |

i don't have the ability to space the letters, but it would. if you have MS Word and want to see what i mean check it there.

my code ide = notepad or vc++6

<td>

someone else knowledge starts

You can with CSS

p {text-align:justify}

This will cause all text insode a <p> tag to justify. You can add it TD, H2's or whatever

p, H2, TD, UL {text-align:justify} DeZiner

ok, i have somthing like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td style=&quot;text-align:justify;&quot;>
jkdfhg <br>
<br>
fghsdkhb kgbdf<br>
<br>
jkdfhg <br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

i was hopeing that it would set the kerning(letter spacing) of the text in there. but it dosen't seem to want to.

so, dose anyone know a way of adjusting the kerning of text with css?

If that doesn't work, try putting a span tag inside the table cell like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td style=&quot;text-align:justify;&quot;>
<span style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;>
jkdfhg <br>
<br>
fghsdkhb kgbdf<br>
<br>
jkdfhg <br></span>
</td>
</tr>

ya, i tried that. the justify alignment in css seems to deal with word spacing only, it never changes the letter spacing like some apps do.

Hi all, I'm back to the forum after 2 weeks of absence.

A few cents from me on the topic:
If we talk about <P> or <DIV> tags you don't need any styles at all to add alignment to the text.

<p align=right>
or
<p align=justify>

This will work everywhere including very old browsers.
I don't remember about <span> but it seems that it should work there too.

Kerning of text can be set using [tt]letter-spacing[/tt] property of CSS.

p { letter-spacing: 4px }

This will work in IE4+, N6.x/Mozilla, Opera 5+ but will not work in NN4.x

good luck

 

[theocraticmind]

i hate NN4.x! NOTHING WORKS! well, it dosen't matter, people who use it can deal with normal right aligned text. thanks a lot, star for you.

 

[theocraticmind]

hold on, if i set the font-size to a pixle value, and the td width to 100px, is there i was differant machines can see it spaced differantly?
