superimpose text divs

I have a 2 column table. In one specific row/column I need to have
text aligned to the left and also aligned to the right. I assumed the
best way to do this is to superimpose 2 divs. This said, I don't seem
to be able to code it right. Could someone show me the proper way to
do this.

I need the Row/column heading 'Price' to be aligned to the left and
the $ sign to be aligned to the right so it appears right next to the
input box which is in the next column. Something like:

Price $

Thank you for your help,

Daniel

So you have a URL for a document that demonstrates your problem? If not,
create one.

That's sure not a specific statement. Is it a row, or is it a column, or is
it cell, or maybe a row divided by a column?

A URL would let us see the real problem, which is probably quite different
from what youa are saying. How can you align text to the left _and_ to the
right? That would be justification. But you hardly mean it.

Stop making assumptions. Post the URL.

Maybe, if we can see what "this" is.

Oh. Now it resembles something specific. But most probably the design is
wrong. This sounds like a poorly designed form with bad accessibility. Prove
that I'm wrong by posting the URL, please.

3 columns? Although I don't think nesting form elements inside a table is
strictly de rigeur these days. Maybe use labels?

Or maybe 42? We don't know what the real problem is, so we might just as
well throw in some _interesting_ figures if we start making guesses.

You don't, do you? And what made you think there's a form element inside a
table here.

> Maybe use labels?

Maybe use your forefinger to type in the tags? Sounds as relevant to the
issue as your suggestion. Surely a form field should have a label, and
surely they should be connected with the element, but how does this
relate to the question?

Disappointing to see you feel it helpful to mock someone asking for
help and guidance. Why do you even bother responding?

And row/column would indicate a column within a row, thus yes, a cell
of a table.

Is there no way to do this without a 3rd column by any chance?

Perhaps the input box that he mentioned he wanted to go into one of the
columns.

Without any mocking, please post a url with your best shot.

If I've understood your requirements correctly, I think I'd go with a
3 column table format, merging columns two and three to display the
data.

Like so: .

Martin,

Thank you. Although I was trying to find an alternative to using a
third column for just one instance, it does seem to be the best
solution. Thank you for the demo it is greatly appreciated.

Re: superimpose text divs

Hi,

How about if you make a small $ image and put it in the left column but with
a right align?

LABEL

There's no need to use an image, you can just use a float (align="right"
is just a deprecated way of floating an image these days anyway).

$ Price

Yes, I say it degrades satisfactorily, especially when one considers the
small fraction of visitors using a Mac then the minuscule fraction of
those using IE...
