Question

Here is a little css problem

The code:

     printf( '<div id="replyto">Reply to</div>
    <a class="replytolink" href="%1$s">%2$s %3$s</a>',
 $parent_link, $parent->comment_author, $parent->comment_date );

The css:

#replyto {
        float: left;
}
.replytolink {
        float: left;
}

is output

Reply to“Comment author Date”

How can I output it

Reply to “Comment author Date”

with correct spacing between text and link?

Answer 1

From a semantic point of view, using a floating div followed by an anchor isn’t the best choice possible of tags in this case.
Personally, I would replace that div with a span, then you wouldn’t need to float them, and so word spacing would work as usual..
