Let’s say I’m pulling text from multiple posts in a MySQL database chronologically using PHP. I want my posts to be displayed as alternatively aligned to right and left.

Importantly, I want the posts to be able to be deleted. If a post is deleted, I want the other posts to retain the dynamic alternating alignment.

Can you give me some ideas on how to do this using CSS?

    Use :odd and :even pseudoClasses

    e.g.

    div:nth-child(odd) { text-align: left }
div:nth-child(even) { text-align: right }

    if you want to retain the previous order after a post deletion, just set display: none when you remove the post (instead of removing the node from the DOM)

    If you want instead reposition dinamycally all following posts just remove entirely the node
