How do you justify something like this?

[David Harrison]

Without using <p align="justify">Some Text</p> or CSS how can I justify some text. I don't want to use <p></p> because in Netscape it leaves a HUGE space above and below the text, and I don't want to use CSS because I don't know ANY.

Also what happened to Richard_1?

I don't want to use CSS because I don't know ANY.Is that one of the things you are prejudiced about?

Since this is a javascript thread, the javascript answer is that you cannot do it without CSS.

The HTML answer would be to use a tag that does not create a line break, like SPAN or DIV, and apply the justify HTML parameter to it.

BTW, not all browsers support align="justify" in HTML anyway.

So could I just use <div align="justify"> (for those that align="justify" does work for)?

<div style="text-align:justify">eimi, ei, esti, esmen, este, eisi</div>

I assume that it's the same for if I want it centred.
What I now want to know is what you wrote in your div tags, is it latin for something?

[Charles]

It's the Latin transliteration of "&epsilon;&iota;&mu;&iota;, &epsilon;&iota;, &epsilon;&sigma;&tau;&iota;, &epsilon;&sigma;&epsilon;&mu;, &epsilon;&sigma;&tau;&epsilon;, &epsilon;&iota;&sigma;&iota;." - Koine Greek for "I am; you are; he, she or it is; we are; you all are; they are."
