Align Right

[Hymer]

Hello,

I have a paragraph where I want to add one word at the end. I want this word
to be aligned right but I want it to appear on the same line as the last
line of the paragraph. So I don't want to use <p align="right"because that
drops it down to the next line. Also, I am modifying an online third party
html so I can't use CSS.

Is there an html solution to right justifying one word on the same line as
the last line of a paragraph?

Thanks,

Bob

You need CSS for that, and it isn't quite trivial CSS code that you need.

Also, I
am modifying an online third party html so I can't use CSS.

Then stop trying. There's no point in trying to simulate such relatively
complicated issues in HTML. If you have prevented from using CSS, there's
little point in trying to achieve nice presentational features.

Instead, think about the intended _meaning_ of putting the word there, and
express that meaning using the tools you have. Such as words.

Like this:

<p>Lorem ipsum [...] and then they all went home to have their
tea. (Dear reader, this next bit should be on the right) The
end.</p>

Use a CGI script to insert CSS.

Thanks everyone. I wasn't sure how complicated something like that would be.
I will simply allow it to be left justified.

This can be fudged!

<p>
<table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="0" celspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>Fudged to the right</td>
</tr>
</table>
Last line of paragraph
</p>

Though the others are correct years of laying out complicated designs
before CSS 1 led to some serious fudging practice.

What you need ideally here is a float. Before the days of CSS, tables
(and not much else) floated, so you could try:

<table align="right">
<td>word</td>
</table>

in the last line of your paragraph. Might work, depending on what
particular combination of bugs your browser(s) has/have.

Otherwise, when you say you can't use CSS, do you just mean you can't
add a stylesheet? If you can do inline styles just do:

<span style="float: right">word</span>

On the last word.

It should appear on the same line as the last line of text; but if there
isn't room for it, it will bump down to the next line. Firefox will
currently put it on the next line anyway even if there is room (this is
a known bug).
