text-align:lol;

Original question:

If you have 1 paragraph and you want to align 2 words one in each side as the attachment suggests, how do you do it?

I tried the following code:

<p class="align_right">HURRAY! <span class="align_left">HURRAY AGAIN!</span></p>

.align_right
{
   text-align:right;
}
.align_left
{
   text-align:left;
}

Why is this not working?

[SOLVED]
Answer: Use the float rule instead, so:

.align_right
{
   float:right;
}
.align_left
{
   float:left;
}

What are the actual results you get?
I would suspect the right-align to apply to the location of the span element and the left-align to apply within it.
So:

PHP Code:

                             HURRAY HURRAY AGAIN

Exactly what you posted, but I needed to use float instead of text-align... that's a result of working all day long :/

Thanks anyway.

It is always best to leave up the original question + any solutions you may have come across.

It helps anyone who might stumble across the same problem in the future, or lurkers who are too afraid to post (but DO read/absorb a lot of information from the forums).

I agree with Tex2002ans. Please do put back the original question along with the solution for anyone else who may have the same problem.

Oh, the question was so silly I was embarassed about leaving it there, alright hehe

This question also reminds me of a semi-related ADE "bug" I ran across with floating something left/right on the same line:

Bah, we all have to start learning somewhere!

Even the best of us sometimes stumble across something that is baffling, even though the solution is obvious to some others.
