Css distribute text over 2 lines and vertically align - html

Question

I am trying to achieve a layout like the image in the link below. It's basically a set of list items that contain some text and then a large number to the right. I am wondering if it would be possible to distribute the text where it's outputted over 2 lines even though there is no fixed width on the list item elements
Additionally, i am looking for a cross browser solution to vertically align the text and the numbers inside the LI. It needs to work in IE7+ without any javascript

Answer 1

Try this
<ul>
<li>
<div class="top">To</div>
<div>For Submit<span class="number">50</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="top">To</div>
<div>For Submit<span class="number">50</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="top">To</div>
<div>For Submit<span class="number">50</span></div>
</li>
<ul>
CSS
ul {
list-style:none;
font-size:14px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
ul li {
background-color:gray;
display:inline-block;
padding:5px 10px;
}
.number {
margin-left:10px;
font-size:20px;
}

First solution: navigation bar
I think that you need basically a navbar.
Twitter Bootstrap navbar is the best thing you can chose I say.
See the documentation.
<div class="navbar">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<a class="brand" href="#">Title</a>
<ul class="nav">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
See live example: JSFIDDLE.
Second solution
Also, you can use rows and spans.
Documentation is here.
Example:
<div class="row">
<div class="span1">Text 1</div>
<div class="span1">Text 2</div>
<div class="span1">Text 3</div>
<div class="span1">Text 4</div>
<div class="span1">Text 5</div>
<div class="span1">Text 6</div>
</div>
