Align=Justify

My turn.

I'm putting my new site together and have created a table to position (mainly) text.
However, in doing so, I seem to have lost my text alignment which was, and (as far as I can see) still is, set to 'justify'.
For some reason, it's decided to display as 'left' align instead.

I checked the code which still seems to indicate it should be justified.
Can anyone see where I've gone wrong in this lot?

[ The page has sliced header and footer images positioned in tables. The text table is between these, with a nested table in the last cell. I require most, not all, of the table text to display as 'justified'. ]

Appreciate any insights.

p.s.
Couldn't post the code (too many characters apparently) so I've temporarily uploaded it to my domain http://www.skwizz.co.uk/

Re: Align=Justify

I've always noticed how content within a table tends to reject some CSS, unless you specifically target it. Sometimes I just add to my CSS like so:

table p {text-align: justify;}

Re: Align=Justify

Doesn't seem to be working.
I've tried placing it in a number of different locations but it hasn't affected anything.

Re: Align=Justify

I fixed it Herk'

I couldn't figure out the CSS command so I used the same one in HTML.
Had to do it at the start of each cell which was a pain but at least it's working.
Thanks for the nudge.

Re: Align=Justify

You might like to know that whilst your site looks quite clean and tidy in IE and in Opera, it looks a mess in Firefox.

It's misaligned and showing grid lines that look awful.

It's probably something to do with the non-compliant code.

IMO you should rethink the table layout in preference to modern layout techniques.

Also get rid of non-standard tags such as <footer>.

Re: Align=Justify

Thanks Geoff,
I am aware I'm not cross-compliant.
I'm not a great fan of the fox (skwirrells tend to get ate a lot by them ) so I didn't bother teaching meself much about cross-compliance.
I'm not ever going to be professional at it.
It's just for fun coz I enjoy doing it.
If it ever reaches +40% user coverage, I may do a rethink.
