I have a set of fields forming line items and the fields text are aligned to the right currently. In most cases it works fine, however when the number exceeds the input width then the text/numbers are displayed from left to right. While it is an extreme case, I'm wondering if there is a way to always anchor the field text to the right.
As pointed out in the comment. The solution in stackoverflow.com/q/1962168/1059070 is what I was looking for.

Surprisingly, I cannot find an answer to the simple question - how to wrap text around image?
I have dynamically generated (user-entered) text and image, and I need to fit it in the div, like that:
Or, in case there's not enough text, it shall be like that:
In other words, image shall be displayed in place it is set to and shall be wrapped by text. I thought it would be easy but suddenly cannot find how to do that, please help, I suppose there's a simple way to achieve that.
I believe it's possible but it's so advance that you need a lot of js and css to manipulate the flow. Assuming the blue rectangles are html tag where you can put your text, let's say a div. For example the text from rA will continue to rB then to rC. This one will continue downwards until its total height is equal to the height of the element in the middle, let's say an image. Basically the thought is making the texts jump from one div to the other when it overflows. Found this one on this website .
Even though text are same length in HTML source, they are not displayed as aligned. I want to display both texts with the same width.
Please see the screenshot
If you'd like to do the alignment simply with the text/font you need to use a monospaced font type. Other possibilities would be to use a table or CSS.
Is there a way to turn off the fact that objects push down other objects if their height increase?
Example:
I have a text box and then a few inches down I have another text box.
The first text box wasn't big enough length wise so the contents of it generated a second line inside the text box.
This pushed ALL objects below down. I don't want this to happen. I want the text boxes to be FIXED wherever I put them. Can I do this?
You should be able to set CanGrow = false on the textbox. If that doesn't work then you could truncate the value to a max length by using an expression.
This is a very basic html-css query that I often encounter. Most times, I find the solution some way or the other, but am interested to know the reason of this unexpected behavior(as per me) of UI.
Please have a look at this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/2yaRU/
<div > //float left
Sometext <span> text<.span>//float:right
<div>
the right floated text moves to the next line though there is a lot of width available in my line. Ideally as per me, the text should appear side by side with float:left as left side, and float:right at right side within the div.
This cant be a complex issue, so is there something very common I do not get here?
Put the floated item first. The floats are nested inside of each-other, so they won't affect each-other. Floating an element automatically changes it display:block;
I think there's a couple things going on. Since the wrap is float:left, it switches to a block formatting context. It looks like the issue is that the whitespace that comes after the text (just before the nested float) is considered to be trailing since there is nothing is in the flow after it. So the width of the parent does not take into account the space, even though it does take up space when the layout is rendered as you can see in the html.
Removing the trailing space brings the X back onto the same line as the text.

If you want a space after the text, you should add a non-breaking space ( ) to the html instead.

I want to have a two-column list of items where the right column has a fixed width, and the left column is determined by the window size, with its text truncated:
+----------------------+-----------+
|Variable width text...|Fixed width|
+----------------------+-----------+
All of the examples I've found on how to do truncated text in HTML/CSS use a fixed width for the truncated text, so they don't work for my variable-width case. I usually end up with the left text not being truncated, causing the element to be wider than it should be.
I'd include sample code, but I've tried so many different things I don't know which wrong approach to post :)
This is for a WebView in a desktop application, so I only need it to work with the latest WebKit.
If you really want to text to be truncated you could do something like: http://jsfiddle.net/fju9q/2/
Which uses 2 divs. The right div is floated and the left div uses overflow: hidden and white-space: nowrap; to make sure the text is truncated.
