Thanks, Mark. That was a great help.

Allow me to impose and ask another question. I'm trying to center a box
with text aligned both left and right. Example:
Test1 Test2

I defined a simple box as:

..menu {
border: 1px solid black;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 300px;
}

The code on my page is:

<div class=menu style="text-align: left;">Test1<div
style="text-align:right;">Test2</div></div>

The result is:

Test1
Test2

Why?
