Hi smart folks!
I have a few pieces of text that need to appear on the same line. The first element needs to be aligned left, the next near the center, and a few nav elements aligned right. I prefer not use a table to layout this section. I tell ya, I have tried and experimented, and I have done my share of searching, but to no avail. Can someone send me in teh right direction?
Thanks!

Make the container for all
Make the container for all three text-align: center. Then wrap the left and right bits in an element (as Triumph says, we'd need to see what you've got now to suggest which elements), float the left one left and float the right one right. The floated elements need to come first in the source, ie, before the content that is to be centered.

Line seems to be splitting...
First of all, thanks. What seems to be happening is the span without the align property (not floated) is properly centered, but the floated-left and floated-right spans appear on the next line, though properly aligned to the left and right respectively:
Welcome Paul
Menu Placeholder
Application: xxxx
...and here's the stylesheet:
#appHeader
{
background-color: #99FFFF;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
text-align:center;
font-size:small;
}
#appName
{
float:left;
}
#appWelcome
{
}
#appHeaderMenu
{
float: right;
}
What do you think?
