Question
How can I justify text in tables using HTML ?
Hi there
I am trying to justify and move some text ON THE SAME LINE in HTML.
I want to accomplish two things to make text appear.
1. Good things will come from
(space between text)
2. Good things will come from the good heart
(Justify text IN THE SAME line)
thanks

DarkSnoopy,
Welcome to Experts-Exchange. Please read the gidelies for submitting answers and comment. What you submitted does not come anywhere near the definition of an "answer". It does not address the whole question, and the suggests code is incorrect as the combination of non-breaking spaces and justified alignment will not render to the requirements.
In the future please refrain from using the answer button. If you observe the top-experts you will note athat they almost never submit with an answer as that removes the question from active participation by other experts and lowers the quality of the final solution.
I will be asking a moderator to reject your answer.

To justify text, you can put "style='text-align:justify
ie. <td style='text-align:justify;
To create spaces between words, you can use non-breaking spaces ( ), or use Cd&'s suggestion, the <pre> and </pre> tags.
If you don't want the text to wrap, you can use <td nowrap>...</td>

I hope this link might help explain some things for you.

> It seems to me that there are special rules that apply for text inside tables.
This is true, in my experience. I did resolve. I forget the way. I think my workaround was a cheat,, found a page on the web that did what I wanted, did a clipboard, and tossed out the alignments that I did not want or need.
For some table issues, I needed other commands not on the lines themselves, to get columns to work as desired. Now looking at your code, I think I also changed positioning of one or both end-of-line indicators. But that was some versions of html long ago.
> You expect a lot for only 20 points
ditto that. but I can do the same at times ;)
> (space between text)
I would suggest, as others have, that you do this with a non-blanking space. However, if you want more control, use a column in between the words and set the size to be what you want it to be:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Good things will
</td>
<td width="100px">
</td>
<td>
come from
</td>
</tr>
</table>
2. Good things will come from the good heart
(Justify text IN THE SAME line)
I'm a little confused as to what effect you're after here. Justification is usually used (in the print medium) to space out a paragraph so that both left and right margins appear to form the text into a box, the width of which is equal to the width of the column the text is appearing in.
So, in order for the justify to work, your table cell (TD) must have a specific width. Otherwise, what defines the justification boundaries?
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td style="width: 260px; text-align: justify;">
Good things will come from the good heart
</td>
</tr>
</table>
But if you have only one line (and not a paragraph), you can't really "justify" it. For the above, if you change the width to 250px, you'll see that it is justifying - you just can't see the effect when the line is only 260px long (100% of the table cell.)
If you just want the letter spaced effect that justification brings, use the letter-spacing value of the style tag:
style="letter-spacing: 10px;"
Hope that helps
AOA

step 1:
copy and paste the following in notepad save as myFile.html
<html>
<body>
<table border="4" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<p align="justify">Text-proce
options to expand or shrink word and glyph spacing so text fills the
specified line length. The Justification table provides font
developers with additional control over positioning in justified text.</p>
</td>

kab_2000,
Welcome to Experts-Exchange. Please read the guidelines for submitting answers and comments. Posting someting that only address half the problem does not constitute an answer, and considering the number of comments already posted, and the indication to a previous member that the use of the answer button is inappropriate; your action is quite rude. If you intend to participate on this site I suggest you observe some of the top-experts to learn how things are done so that you avoid complaints to the moderators.
