I would like to align this little "Close Window" javascript (below) to the right side of the page. Default is aligned to the left and I know how to center it but can't seen to figure out how to right align it.


<a href="javascript:top.close()">Close Window</a>




Thanks for your help :)

BTW, the tag is depreciated and I have replaced it with CSS.

I changed it to float:right as I'm pretty sure that's what you wanted to type to make it align to the right side of the page. However, as the page opened, it moved it to the right and then placed it and all the other text on that page in the center. I don't know anything about CSS, do I need to enclose your code in <style></style> or anything?

How about doing this within a table?




Rudy

In a table you can set the align="right" attribute of a <td> to right-align a table cell.

You can also use a <div> with a style attribute:

<div style="text-align: right;">I am right-aligned</div>

Have you been able to work with my CSS based layout from the other post?

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks Imar,

Yes, this <div style="text-align: right;"><a href='javascript:top.close()'>Close Window</a></div> worked perfect.

Yes, I'm still working with the code you gave me for positioning my Web site and I think I can get it to work, at least I hope so.

Thanks again for all your help, I appreciate all the time you have taken putting up with me. I have been reading and working with a new book called, "Cascading Style Sheets" the designers edges, by Molly Holzschlag and Eric Meyer but a lot of it hasn't sunk in yet. I also need to do some studying on using TABLES. Any place you can suggest, books or links?

Anyway, thanks sooooo much!

2 questions:

Using the <div> tag, I guess text-align: right and left are used, but how about for centering, is it center or middle?

Also, I used the table to also get something to align right but is stayed aligned left, can you tell me what I did wrong...trying to learn.

<table border=0>
<tr>
<td align="right"><a href='javascript:top.close()'>Close Window</a>
</tr>
</td>
</table>


Rudy

It's center.

<div style="text-align:center">text</div>

Re 1: The best place for these kind of lookups is either an IDE like Dreamweaver (that lists all the values), or better yet the W3C site:

http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

and this one in particular:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#alignment-prop

Re 2: Well, the table cell *did* right-align, but since the table has a width that is exactly the same as its inner content, you don't notice it is right-aligned.

In a two or more celled tabled, try something like this: Or align the entire table: Did you copy and paste your table example to this message? If so, you need to work on your nesting of tags. I noticed that in your other post as well.

Personally, I would drop tables for layout. CSS is much better suited for that purpose so you can use tables what they were designed for: presenting tabular data.

Yes, this table you offered works great. As you pointed out, I hadn't defined a table width for this specific table, so I wasn't seeing the alignment work.

So I've learned a couple of new things today, important ones to me.
I will concentrate on the CSS as you advised.

Thank you,

Rudy

Can I add one more thing to your list of today's learning experiences?
If you reply to a post, can you please not quote the entire message? Since this system is Web based, you always have the opportunity to read the entire thread. Quoting the entire previous message is a waste of bandwidth and makes the thread harder to read and follow.
IMO, the quote tags should be used exclusively to quote specific parts of a message you want to focus on.

Cheers,

Imar
