<DIV> with a justify and padded text into

[Bob]

He at all

I have a <DIVwith a long text and a <buttonat the very bottom

I want to center the button and to justify the text and I want the
text-margin-left and right of 2em relative to the <divnargin

How can I make the CSS please?

I'd like to ask "why?" and "what's the URL?", but I'm afraid to ask. I still
have belief in the rationality of web authors left.

text-margin-left and right of 2em relative to the <divnargin

Is this an exercise? Can we send the replies directly to your teacher or
tutor? Then we could explain why it's a wrong exercise.

Here's a correct answer though (to the extent that wrong questions can have
right answers):

div { text-align: justify;
margin: 0 2em; }
button { display: block;
margin: 0 auto; }

To see one of the reasons why justification is seldom justified on web
pages, test this with a div containing nice long words like
supercalifragil isticexpialidoc ious, and use different window widths.

Dear Mr."I know all",

It is not an exercise but only a little part of my site
I do not speack well your language but also you do not speack my
language....... ............... ............... ......
One time ago this NG was very kindly and there was not teachers like you
but only
friends........ ............... ............... ............... ............... ......
The code (right) that you wrote
do not work like my idea !!!!!!!!!!
Into the <divI'ld want some justify text
The margin is of the text and not of the div and my problem is to position
the text into the div and button must be centered into the div
At last I am looking for a position absolute of the text and of the button
into the div
Many regards

A poor choice of response from someone who wants help...

Teachers *are* our friends. *Especially* for those who wish to learn.

Perhaps you should provide a URL of your best attempt so far. I actually
thought Jukka's post accurately fulfilled your request while at the same
time explaining the pitfalls of doing what you said you wanted. So
that's at least two of us who didn't understand. Even on your second
attempt I don't get it. But if you try again, you might get more help if
you're nice about it.

Many regards

More of the same to you.

Use padding instead of margin for that. So "padding: 0 2em;"

The button should be centered OK with the CSS given.

Not sure what you mean.

Help?

It is a very strange way to help

I have not still now wrote anything to show you because I do not understand
how to start.

My last idea was to position absolutely any thing (text, button, images
ecc....) into the <divbut I cannot understand how to do.

I positin best the div into the windows but not the element of the div into
the div

Thank you very much but what I want is different.

I know perfectly that it is very difficul for me to make questions in other
language.

I'ld like to know if it is possible to make a position:absolu te of any
element like text or buttons or images INTO a <DIV>

Thank you in advance and best regards to all

You can absolutely position anything, but that doesn't mean it is a wise
thing to do, or that it is really the best way to go about it.

We understand there is a language barrier here, so why don't you draw a
picture of what you want? Do a "mock up" in a graphics program, upload
it to a publicly accessible server and post the URL.

Pretty much, yes, but you can't absolutely position a #text node, and
although you can absolutely position an inline node (e.g. a span) as
soon as you do it becomes implicitly display: block.

Absolutely positioning table cells is a bad idea too.

Note that I did mention positioning isn't always wise. ;)

Seems more often than not, it's unwise.
