css text-align in IE

[souvik das]

HI
I have made a simple page & used css in link. I have used text-align:left; to align link text. Its working perfect in mozilla but in IE the text-align property is not working. Why it is not working in IE ? Please give me some suggestion.

I've seen this before also. Chalck it up to IE not being standards compliant. Microsoft does not fully apply the css standard.

You could do a check on your page for the browser type and render code for IE or render code for others based on the browser returned.. Kinda of sucks to have to do it that way but as the saying goes

Code for Firefox ... fix for IE....



Just my 2 cents ....

Can we see the code or a link leading to the error?

hi johngroup

here is the css code:

.link{
font-size: x-small;
text-align:left;
color: #0000cc;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Hi there,
I had a touch of this problem as well till I solved it. Check out this link - it may help you.

and this one:

I believe the problem is ie's interpretation of the text align at block level.
Keep well

Are you applying the style to a div containing the link or the link itself? Try both.

Hi Souvik,
I think John is on the right track, but a question - are you embedding in a table?
If you are` using a table and then placing the css ie in a div etc then you will have this problem of text align not working.

Without seeing your whole code section I cant comment- but this is the problem I had.
You have to fudge or dump either table or div:)
The link I gave earlier expl,ains it and here is another

sorry about all the links - Im not lecturing - just we cant help a lot without seeing the relevent code - so I offer thm so you may see your problem.
You are up against a quirk of css, tables and div's
yummy :)
Keep well.
