Question about alignment in tables.

July 11th, 2001, 12:00 AM

How can I have a line of text (within a table) be right-justified?

I tried <table align="right"> but the line of text moved ALL the way over to the right of the PAGE, not just the table.

Any help is appreciated, guys--I don't know much about tables but I'm working on a website that requires them and I'm sort of winging it.

I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that <table align> affects the ENTIRE table not just the text inside. Try this:

<p align="right">BLAH BLAH BLAH</p>

Tables default to the width of the page, so if you want to set some text inside them that deosn't go allthe way over to the other side of the page you have to set up a table width.

<table width=400>

Then, in the actual cells, you control the justification.

<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top"> blah blah blah</td>

I always put a "valign" in to cells, otehrwise the text ends up in the middle of the cell and not at the top where it should be.
