[OFF TOPIC] CSS text-align property

[Chris Bunch]

A few things you might check:

1. Have you balanced your <p align="justify"> tags with a </p> tag at the
end of each paragraph?

2. Validate your CSS at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

3. Validate your HTML at http://validator.w3.org/

4. http://www.webreview.com/style/ has browser compatibility charts which
detail which CSS feature are and are not supported by various browsers
