I want to show some mathematical equations on a web site. How can I do that to make it look neat and line up the decimal places?
For example, I want it to look like this:
123.12345
+ 123.12345
-------------
123.12345
with everything lined up correctly and a nice, neat line, all that. Ideas??

i would think to use tables. just use different cells for each part of the number, that way all the decimals will be lined up.

Try using a font where all the letters are evenly spaced.
I think this is called a "proportional" font.
Like the one used in msdos for example.
Then all your numbers will line up.

ok I have the numbers and decimals all lined up. How do you make the little line at the bottom (equals)?

if you look at what i made, there are actually two tables. i made the first table for the numbers you are adding or subtracting or whatever, then i put the line by using the hypen a whole lot, if you want you could also make a image and put it there, then under the hypens i put a new table with the same dimensions and put in the final numbers. i'm not at my home computer right now, but when i get there i'm going to do some more research and get back to you. -Brian  |

Just use an underscore e.g. _________

Thanks, I decided just to make the entire thing an image. Using an underscore or a dash doesn't look very good, makes the spacing get all funky so the numbers all line up but then there's a big space before the underscore. The dash is just that and is not a solid line.
Thanks for all your help!

You could have created a cell thats only 1 pixel high and the whole width of you calculation with a bgcolor of whatever you wanted your line to be.

lol... don't feel stupid, you'll remember this for next time. I use the 1 pixel high (or wide) table a lot for separating things with lines, thats why I thought of it |
