I have some HTML:
<div align="center"> This is some text in a div element! </div> The Div is changing the spacing on my document, so I want to use a span for this instead.
But span is not centralizing the contents:
<span> This is some text in a div element! </span> How do I fix this?
EDIT:
My complete code:
<html> <body> <p>This is a paragraph. This text has no alignment specified.</p> <span> This is some text in a div element! </span> </body> </html> 7 Answers
A div is a block element, and will span the width of the container unless a width is set. A span is an inline element, and will have the width of the text inside it. Currently, you are trying to set align as a CSS property. Align is an attribute.
<span align="center"> This is some text in a div element! </span> However, the align attribute is deprecated. You should use the CSS text-align property on the container.
<div> <span> This is some text in a div element! </span> </div> Please use the following style. margin:auto normally used to center align the content. display:table is needed for span element
<span> This is some text in a div element! </span> The align attribute is deprecated. Use CSS text-align instead. Also, the span will not center the text unless you use display:block or display:inline-block and set a value for the width, but then it will behave the same as a div (block element).
Can you post an example of your layout? Use
4span.login-text { font-size: 22px; display:table; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } <span>Welcome To .....CMP</span> For me it worked very well. try this also
On top of all the other explanations, I believe you're using equal "=" sign, instead of colon ":":
<span> It should be:
<span> Span is inline-block and adjusts to inline text size, with a tenacity that blocks most efforts to style out of inline context. To simplify layout style (limit conflicts), add div to 'p' tag with line break.
<p> some default stuff <br> <div> your entered stuff </div> Just use word-wrap:break-word; in the css. It works.
