Character width and alignment

dimi · 03-04-2007, 06:51 PM

Hi all,
i't traing to fix some phone contacts to be on the same position via X
but this seems not easy , for example

variant 1)
GSM: +101 222 222 222
tel.: +202 333 333 333

variant 2)
GSM: +101 222 222 222
tel.: +202 333 333 333

this is not possible by adding (removing of spaces) because the with of characters is not the samem and + is not in the same column like into line below (or above)

Did you know some trick to do this task or i must use typewriter font or someting else

I would like to know, how it will be made with css too. Now, I use tables for this.

Here is how to do this using CSS. In your style sheet, add the following:

Code:

div.row {
  clear: both;
  padding-top: 3px;
  }

div.row span.label {
	float: left;
	width: 50px;
	padding-right: 5px;
  }

div.row span.data  {
	float: left;
	text-align: left;
  }

Then in the body of you page, add this:

Code:

<div class="row">
<span class="label">GSM:</span>
<span class="data">+101 222 222 222</span>
</div>

<div class="row">
<span class="label">Tel:</span>
<span class="data">+202 333 333 333</span>
</div>

If you have longer text in the "label" span, you can adjust the width of the div.row span.label in your style sheet.

I hope this helps!
