table cell formating question

[dakota81]

I'm not sure how to accomplish this, I've got a page generated by script, so it's not fixed text. I have a table cell that's 700 pixels wide. I want to have some text that is centered within that cell. I also want another bit of text to be right-justified on the same line. I cannot use absolute positioning for other reasons.

I'm assuming that you mean "in the same cell" rather than "on the same line", hence:

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td width="200px" align="center">
some centred text<p align="right">Right aligned</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

If you actually want something "on the same line" then have a nested table with 3 cells, the middle one centred, the right one right aligned.

I'm guessing this is what they want:
[tt]
+---------------------------------------------------------+
| centered right-aligned |
+---------------------------------------------------------+
[/tt]

A nested table might well be the only easy way to do it.

Yeah, this is what I want, and that will do it, that solution just didn't form in my mind. Thanks.
