Text position inseda a div

Hi Keevitja -- I don't understand your first question, but a trick i use to center my text vertically is as follows using the CSS font-property 'font'. Here is an example:

 

 

font: normal 10px/26px

 

That specifies the font size as 10 pixels, but centers it in a div of 30 pixels (I don't know why this works exactly but it does - you have to play with it to get your sizing - but the lower the second number, the higher the type will sit in the box basically. I hope I'm explaining that well enough for you to understand (and i'm a newb, so take my advice for what it's worth).

You can use paragraph tags and float.

 

p.left-text {
float: left;
width: (the number you put here must be less than half the width of your div);
}

p.right-text {
float: right;
width: (the number you put here must be less than half the width of your div);
}

<div id='nameofyourdiv'>
<p class='right-text'>Right Text</p>
<p class='left-text'>Left Text</p>
</div>

I have tested the code and it works.
