Ok, please don't consider this advertising but I need to no if it's possible to have text, on one line, on opposite sides of the page without using a bunch of spaces. www31.brinkster.com/sanadahazuki/hazuki
Again, my site isn't even filled with content it's for a RPG character I have. What I mean is like this
over here
and like
this ok?
Or would I need to estimate spaces and do it manually?

well you could do the align tag

well to center something you can use one of two tags:
<CENTER>Centered Text</CENTER>
or
<p align = "center">Centered text</p>

I want don't want it in the center, but do you mean center it and then space?

yes you could do that, actaully. to make a space, you type in &nbsp, so you could do:

<center>&nbsp &nbsp Hello</center>

That will make it two past the center

Alternately, you could use divs to align your text. Maybe something like...

<div style="position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px;">
text on the left goes here
</div>

<div style="position:absolute; right:0px; top:0px;">
text on the right goes here
</div>

You can obviously change the numbers around to where you want them on the page.

o yeah good point...and the weird space in my prior post - i said you need to type in &nbsp to do a space, but LEIA uses it too! i will space out each letter, but dont do that if you wanna use this for any further HTML coding.

& n b s p

that will give ya a space

You can also nest the text with tables, like this:

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="left">Left Text</td>
<td align="center">Centered Text</td>
<td align="right">Right Text</td>
</tr>
</table>

You can also add widths and heights, and even color! Customize it acording to your needs.
