The CSS reference
"text-align" - css property (v. css 1)
- To specify the horizontal alignment of text
- Note that alignments are relative to the width of the element, not the canvas.
- Initial value: a nameless value that acts as left if direction is ltr, right if direction is rtl
- The property is inherited
- HTML usage: block-level elements, table cells and inline blocks
-
Browsers that support the text-align - property :
Possible text-align values:
| value | Comments | CSS |
|---|---|---|
| left | Aligns the text in the box to the left. | 1 |
| right | Aligns the in the box text to the right | 1 |
| center | Centers the text in the box. | 1 |
| justify | Stretches the lines so that each line has equal width in the box. | 1 |
| inherit | Will inherit the value from parent specification. This property value is new with CSS 2. | 2 |

<div class="right">To specify the horizontal alignment of text.
Alignments are relative to the width of the element,

</div>
<br>text-align: center;<br>
<div class="center">To specify the horizontal alignment of text.

not the canvas..
</div>
<br>text-align: justify;<br>
<div class="justify">To specify the horizontal alignment of text.

</html>Javascript access:
// To SET values ([o] is the target object)
[o].style.textAlign="text-align value"
// To GET values you must first get the computed style object
// To get that object in IE or Opera:
var cStyle=[o].currentStyle;
// To get that object in Firefox, Chrome or Safari (w3c-type):
var cStyle=window.getComputedStyle([o],null)
// To GET the property value:;
var value=cStyle.textAlign;
/* Don not expect that alle browsers
returns the right initial value when a
text-align values is NOT set.*/
/* If a text-align value was SET you got that value in return*/
