I am in the process of designing a website for a museum.


I have a simple question that I thought I would ask here. I just need to know how do you make a needed space in between characters.


$20.00


$ 5.00


I wantan extra space to line up the $ 5.00 with the $20.00.


Thanks,


Cathy

Hmmm....


Maybe using this code in your HTML:  


You would use this in between the dollar sign and the five...test it out, and one   may not be enough...looks like two?


If this doesn't work, I am sure there is someone out here with more advanced skills on lining up currencies...possibly a new table and then justifying the text.


Good luck :)

Thanks. I did need to use 2. It worked perfect! Thanks for your help!


Thanks,


Cathy

You're Welcome http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif

Don't forget to check the page on differentcomputers! Unless you're using a monospaced font and not allowing substitutions by individual systems, your numbers may not line up indifferent browsers. Especially there can be big differences in display between Mac and PC.


As ktmkgraphics said, tables are another option.


e.g. For a table that's one column wide and two rows long, 80 pixels wide, no border, with the text in each of the cells aligned to the righthand side, you could justgo something like this:


<table width="80px" border="0">


<tr align="right"> <td>$20.00</td></tr>


<tr align="right"><td>$ 5.00</td></tr>


</table>


You can cut-and-paste this into your page code and then play with the variables tosee how it works, if you're not used to working with tables. Just a thought...


Anyway, maybe someone might find this useful.

I'm a big fan of tables for that kind of thing myself :) And you
can change the cell padding to give a bit more or less space.



Have to hide this post from geeky husband though! He's a css nut smileys/smiley36.gif
