Question

I have a simple form with a legend using Twitter Bootstrap. I want to be able to put things, at this point in time icons, beside my legend verbiage that are aligned right.

I have tried a few tags like div and it pushes the icon to the bottom of the legend line. I would like this to align with the legend text.

A short example.

    <legend>Contact Categories<div align="right"><i class="icon-comment"></i></div></legend>

This will cause the icon to drop all the way against the legend line. The legend itself stays as it should.

Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure why you would use align="right". The problem is that your <div> is a block, it can’t stay on the same line as the text.

Demo (jsfiddle)

You have to either make it float (right or left) :

<legend>Contact Categories<div class="pull-right"><i class="icon-comment"></i></div></legend>

Or make it inline

<legend>Contact Categories<div id="myBlock" class="inline-block"><i class="icon-comment"></i></div></legend>

.inline-block { display: inline-block; }
#myBlock { text-align: right; width: 30%; }
