Actually, I was testing in Homesite's built-in browser. It didn't work in
Opera.

I think we think alike. :-)

Thank you very much. I want 'Test1' to align left, and I'd like the entire
line to be narrow. I defined a box as follows:
..menu2 {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 400px;
text-align: center;
}
My ensuing total code looks like:
<div class=menu2><div style="float: left; width: 49%; text-align:
left;">Test 1</div><div style="width: 49%; text-align: right;">Test
2</div></div>
It works in Opera, Firefox and IE. Is there anything "CSS illegal" about
what I ended up with?
Thanks again, and BTW, sorry about sending the above via email. It was a
slip of the keyboard
