This is just about as noobie of a question as it gets... I want to create text so that some is on the left and some is on the right of the same line. Eventually, I'll be making them links to the previous and next pages of a manual-type document. This is what I tried to do:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<HR><H3>
<DIV ALIGN="left"><< Previous</DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="right">Next >></DIV>
</H3><HR>
</BODY></HTML>

It turned out so that they were on the left and right sides, though the "Next >>" text was one line below the "<< previous" text.

I'm just learning to code HTML and so far have just read "Learning HTML in 14 days" (written in 1997, which I wish I would have realized sooner...) so any advice on references of what has happened to HTML in the past decade would be of help to me. (Will move up to DHTML after I get a bit of practice with HTML.)
