# what is the best practice to align a text right next to a html div element

Hi [Expert](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13120/an-expert-financial-advice-will-improve-your-finances),\
I was creating a underscored list and in that list I wanted to add a [color](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/77/how-to-split-form-background-color-in-c-sharp) pallete type [window](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/161285/how-does-the-window-console-object-work-in-javascript) and I tried to create one the following way\
**<ul><li><div [style](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/126300/apa-citation-style-get-to-know-about-it-for-your-next-assignment)="width:10px; height:10px; [background](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/65/how-to-change-background-color-of-tab-control-in-c-sharp)-color:#0066cc; [float](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1718/describe-float-containment):[left](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12768/don-t-be-left-behind-with-the-new-it-revolution);"></div>test</li></ul>**\
I am attaching a fiddle [link](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23633/link-builder) to see the output.. Is there a good way to align the div to text or should I just adjust the [margin](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/104990/what-is-a-margin-call) of [div element](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34450/remove-div-element), but I don't think that is the best possible solution..\
Thanks in advance. \

Hi,\
Try this,\

```
text-align: center;display: inline-block;float: none;
```

\
This positions the div in much the same way that images are positioned.
