Align left and right on a single line

[Craig Thomson]

How can I have some text aligned to the left of the page and some more
text aligned to the right using only CSS without a table?

SPAN doesn't have any alignment, and there is only a single DIV block
per line, and so only one alignment.

TIA

The following is a crude example of what can be done. But it obviously won't
work right at narrow viewport widths, because the bits of text overlap. You
need to work out what you want to happen under various circumstances, because
that will tell you which of many options to use.

HTML:

<div class="line">
<span class="left">Le ft hand text</span><span class="centre"> Centre text
</span><span class="right">R ight hand text </span>
</div>

CSS:

span.left {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
span.right {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}
div.line {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}

By using a css table and a hack to supply poor old IE with a float
replacement.
