Tables

Hi,
What I would like to have is a table cell <td> with both left aligned
and right-aligned text in the same vertical position in the same cell.

<span> appears not to do it, and <div> adds a vertical row.
Alternatively, is it possible to let the border between two cells only
disappear? I can do colspan=2, but then I cannot get both the left and
right aligned text.
A very blessed Christmas to you all.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Johan Smit

try this.....

<div align="justify" style="width:100%">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="50%">text 1</td>
<td width="50%" align="right">text 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

But that's in separate cells.
The OP was asking in the same cell.

Maybe he wasn't sure waht he wanted :~)

Probably. You can always replace the table cells with spans which is much
the same thing but withonly one cell.
I hope he isnt looking for cross browser support :-Þ


<div align="justify" style="width:100%;">
<span style="width:50%;">text1<br />text1<br />text1<br />text1<br
/>text1<br /></span><span style="position:absolute; width:50%;
text-align:right">text2<br />text2<br />text2<br />text2<br />text2<br
/></span>
</div>

Hi guys,

No, I think I know exactly what I want, even if I am not very lucid
about it.

No, the browser component is Dave Baldwin's THtml.(www.pbear.com)

It is part of a long report, mainly all within a long table.
Span within a table cell does not do the right justify.
P gives an additional line.
The overall table has 1px borders, so using different cells makes it
more difficult for the user to see the context.
It appears that the solution is to use nested tables, but I am not
sure if this will slow down everything too much.
I was hoping for some other solution.
Thanks for the replies
