Good one for the Gurus

Or maybe it's way simple....Anyway....

Ive got a row that acts as a header for a product line in my online store.
Centered in that row is an image that is the product line logo. I find it very
difficult to place text on either side of an image. I want to place a line of
text on each side of the image that will center itself between the logo and the
edge of each side left and right even when the page resizes to fit the screen.
Im thinking that a layer snapped into place is the way to go. My problem is
that Im not sure if I can snap a layer to two points so as to be equidistant
between them. IS this possible? I guess I can try it out, and I will, but IF
it does work is there a better way? And IF it doesnt, is there a way at all?

Thanks

BTW...if you need to see it to have a better understanding....

Look down toward the bottom at the Guide Series Fishing Instruments. The
Product logo Im reffering to is in the green row with the pics of the clamps
below. I want to center text between each side of the logo image and the side
of the page so that it is always centered. Even when resized.

dang it....

THIS IS TEXT HERE</td>
</tr>

I have added text to each side of your graphic with an alignment to have the
text align mid cell. (not valid html - but will do for you in this
instance).

Compare this code to the code on your page and check out the differences. I
know you're not a codey yet, but highlight the cell in question, look check
it out in code view

What about using tables....and merging/splitting cells and just dumping your
text in whichever orientation you like...

Also, a segue....I'm new to this DW stuff....but notice that I can't do
proper text formatting as far as 2 spaces after a period! It only lets me
put in 1 space.

That's because HTML doesn't allow that. All whitespace (spaces, tabs,
carriage returns) in source are collapsed to a single space in the User-
Agent displayed final page. This is not a typewriter! And although DW
won't allow you to enter two consecutive spaces using the space bar, it's
only reflecting the HTML standard.

(Actually, there is a setting which will allow you to do this. I really
don't recall where, but it's somewhere in the Edit>Preferences. What it
does is to insert a regular space, then a non-breaking space &nbsp;. You
can do it, but I don't recommend it.)

The cells in this particular case have already been merged. Unless you
understand the consequences of 'merging' cells' I wouldn't recommend this
method.

In addition to Joes' advice, if you want more than a single space, you can
insert a transparent spacer into the cell and resize to give you the space
required.

You need to explicitly use the appropriate number of &nbsp;
(non-breaking space) entities in the HTML.

What consequences are there with merging cells?!?!
