css positioning problems
I have a problem with my css - I have a footer div containing two elements that I want to be aligned left and right and one in the centre, containing images - it seems like this ought to be easy, but I can't get it right!
Code:
//css 
#Bottommenu {
	padding:10px 5px;
	background-color:#003498;
	font:10px verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	color:#fff;
	width:545px;
}
.leftText {
	float:left;
	text-align:left;
	padding-bottom:5px;
}
.rightText {
	float:right;
	text-align:right;
}
#footerIcons {
  	text-align: center;
	background: transparent;
	display:inline;
float:middle;
}

//html

<div id="Bottommenu">
	<span class="leftText">
		
		<a href="site02.cfm?request=A301" title="Click to browse the text only version of this website" style="color:#fff;">Text only version</a>
		
	</span>

	
			<div id="footerIcons">
			
					<a href="site01.cfm?request=A301&subscribe=true" title="Subscribe to updates on this page"><img src="education/images/subscribe.gif" border="0"></a>
			
			<a href="site01.cfm?request=A301&quicklink=true" title="Add this page to your homepage quicklinks"><img src="education/images/quicklink.gif" border="0"></a>
			<a href="site01.cfm?request=A301&print=true&" target="_blank" title="Click for a printable version of this page"><img src="education/images/_print.gif" border="0"></a>
			
			</div>
		

	<span class="rightText"><a href="site01.cfm?request=b1000331" title="Send your feedback" style="color:#fff;">Send your views</a>
	</span>
</div>

the left and right text are oK, but the when I introduce the images they don't float in the middle and they force the leftText and rightText spans up to the top and bottom of their container - any ideas?

TIA

I know nothing about jsp but I dunno why this would have anything to do with security restrictions at my site cos you're just doing a http get at this point, no? unless it's something to do with the url -it's a dynamic site, built with coldfusion out of a cms: http://education.brighton-hove.gov....fm?request=a301

Hi,

Yes you have a secured dynamic page. TO try it out you wil have to copy into a html file and put it on an unsecured portion of your website. Or you can export only the styleheets and use it with some test html page with nonsensical text

Thanks for trying it out.
