Examples

The following examples use the IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::textAlign attribute and the IHTMLCSSStyleDeclaration::textAlign property to align text within the object.

This example uses p as a selector and two classes to call an embedded style sheet that aligns the text according to the respective rule.

Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/text-align.htm

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <title>text-align</title>
  <style>
    p {
      text-align: center;
    }

    .align1 {
      text-align: right;
    }

    .align2 {
      text-align: left;
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <p onclick="this.className='align1'" ondblclick="this.className='align2'">
    The text is aligned to the center using <strong>p</strong> as<br>
    the HTML selector in the stylesheet.<br>
    Click the text to align right.<br>
    Double-click to align left.
  </p>
</body>

</html>

This example uses inline scripting to change the alignment of the text when an HTMLFrameSiteEvents::onmouseover event occurs.

Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/textAlign.htm

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <title>textAlign</title>
</head>

<body>
  <p style="font-size: 14pt" onmouseover="this.style.textAlign='center'" 
       onclick="this.style.textAlign='right'" 
       ondblclick="this.style.textAlign='left'">
    Run your mouse over me to<br>
    center the text.<br>
    Click to make me align to the right.<br>
    Double-click to align left.
  </p>
</body>
