Text on opposite sides

Postby Rycust Erryt on February 25th, 2010, 6:55 am

Is there any way to have two columns of text straight across from each other on either side of the page?

The columns bbcode does just this...

Code: Select all
[columns=2]Text here[/columns]


however it will display on most browsers except IE, which currently has no support for these newer CSS features. If you want it to work on all browsers, you'll have to do something like this...

Code: Select all
[style=width:49%;float:left] Left column text [/style] [style=width:49%;float:right] Right column text[/style]


which produces this...

Left column text
Right column text
