  • Are you able to provide some more details about what you're trying to do and what you have so far?

  • Isn't the style keys case sensitive. In your command link code you use Float when it should be float. Maybe an image of what you see vs what you want would help as well

Style elements are case sensitive . You had "Float" instead of "float"

The below copied exactly works:

<apex:page standardcontroller="Account"  tabstyle="Account">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageblock mode="edit" id="AccountPB" title="Account Edit">
            <apex:pageblockbuttons >
                <apex:commandbutton action="{!save}" value="Save"></apex:commandbutton>
                <apex:commandbutton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel"></apex:commandbutton>
            </apex:pageblockbuttons>
    <apex:pageblocksection id="AddressInformationPBS" title="Address Information">
        <apex:facet name="header">
            <apex:outputpanel >
                <apex:outputText style="font-weight:bold;font-size:13px;float:left;" value="Address Information"/>
                    <apex:commandLink style="float:right;" value="Copy Billing Address To Shipping Address"  reRender="AddressInformationPBS"/>
            </apex:outputpanel>
        </apex:facet>
             <apex:inputfield value="{!Account.BillingStreet}"></apex:inputfield>
             <apex:inputfield value="{!Account.ShippingStreet}"></apex:inputfield>
            </apex:pageblocksection>
        </apex:pageblock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

You will need to add back in you extension and the commandLink action when you put it back in your org

<apex:pageBlockSection>
    <apex:facet name="header">
        ... your html for links here ...
    </apex:facet>
</apex:pageBlockSection>

Try to format your html like this. The <facet name="header"> will replace the pageBlockSection Title content with whatever you place here. So in theory you can put your normal HTML header title left aligned and a link right aligned inside it.

A full working tested sample.

<apex:pageblock title="Page Block Title" mode="edit">
    <apex:pageblockSection>
        <apex:facet name="header">
            <table width="100%">
              <tr>
                  <td align="left"><h3>My Section Title</h3></td>
                  <td align="right">
                      <a href="javascript:alert('clicked here!!!');">Clickable Link</a>
                  </td>
              </tr>
            </table>
        </apex:facet>
    </apex:pageblockSection>
</apex:pageblock>

  • hate to say it, but it does work, you just need to model your html around in the facet tag. I've edited my answer to include a full working sample.

  • Its at your convinient. You can replace standard html anchor links with visualforce <apex:commandLink> tags and add your function call to that commandLink action.
