   Hi all!

   I have a problem which has been driving me mad! I just cant seem to find a solution, I hope you can help..

   http://www.benrobins.com/intel-the-chase/

   If you take a look at one of the Single Posts on my site ^^ You will notice that at the bottom of the post I have added Previous and Next links to allow the user to navigate through my posts.

   This works a treat although they appear over two lines.

   What I am trying to achieve is to have these two links on the same line but remain formatted on the left and right. Is this possible?

   Here is the code I am using at the moment:

   echo $preview; // echo the preview image
   		the_content('Read more');
   		previous_post_link('<h6 style="float:right;">%link</h6>', 'Next project', TRUE); ?>
   		<?php next_post_link('<h6 style="float:left;">%link</h6>', 'Previous project', TRUE); ?>

   Many Thanks in advance!

   Ben

   Hello,
   In the place of your code just copy the following and check it once

   [please use the 'code' button to mark any posted code]

   echo $preview; // echo the preview image
   		the_content('Read more');
   <div style="width:860px;">
   		previous_post_link('<h6 style="float:right;">%link</h6>', 'Next project', TRUE); ?>
   		<?php next_post_link('<h6>%link</h6>', 'Previous project', TRUE); ?>
   </div>

   Try it and let me know the output

   </div>

   replace with this code.You did not close the php tags properly thats why you got that message

   Hey,

   Ok I seem to have solved the issue by using the following code..
   

   echo $preview; // echo the preview image
   		the_content('Read more'); ?>
   		<div style="width:860px;">
   		<span style='float: right;'>
   		<?php previous_post_link('<h6>%link</h6>', 'Next project', TRUE); ?></span>
   		<span style='float: left;'>
   		<?php next_post_link('<h6>%link</h6>', 'Previous project', TRUE); ?></span>
   		</div>

   This is doing exactly what I want :)

   The only thing left is to add a line above the links to seperate them from the post. How could I achieve this?

   Many Thanks,

   adding one line will separate the code from the links.for that change the code like this

   echo $preview; // echo the preview image
   		the_content('Read more'); ?>
   		<div style="width:860px;border-top:1px dotted #999999;">
   		<span style='float: right;'>
   		<?php previous_post_link('<h6>%link</h6>', 'Next project', TRUE); ?></span>
   		<span style='float: left;'>
   		<?php next_post_link('<h6>%link</h6>', 'Previous project', TRUE); ?></span>
   		</div>

   This will add line above the links .
