html - Aligning text. Using tables or css or ? -
frequently aligning text such as:
to: 07/02/2010
from: 07/02/2010
id displayed this:
to: 07/02/2010 from: 07/02/2010
so quickest/easiest/best way this? css? using few nbsp (would work if mono spacing) or using tables. if not in anti-hating table mood, ill use tables.
what recommend?
i'd recommend tables. best way, seeing tabular data there, , html doesn't support tab stops.
but silly avoid tables sake of avoiding tables. unless want option later style so:
to: from: 07/02/2010 07/02/2010
you this, if reason didn't want use tables:
css
.sideheading { width: 3em; float: left; }
html
<div class="sideheading">to:</div>07/02/2010 <div class="sideheading">from:</div>07/02/2010
or use definition list (but if reason avoiding tables due semantics, dls avoided same thing).
but of course, it's layout, no customer or web surfer ever going care how it, long can read it!
