In FP2002, Text Won't Justify Online for One Web Page

A

AA Smith

When I copied the text into this web page, I highlighted all of it, then
clicked the Justify button on the FP2002 toolbar, and it reformatted to
Justified layout exactly as needed. I have done this on virtually every web
page I've created before and have never had a problem.

However, even though it looks fine in FP2002, after being published to my
ISP's server, that page displays left-justified. I have checked every
setting of which I'm aware of relating to horizontal justification: cell
properties and table properties and found them all set to Justified.

How can I get that page to display Justified online?

You may have copied some junk.

Copy it from wherever again, Paste it into Notepad, Copy from Notepad and Paste it into FP again and see what happens.

Thanks, Rob!

I tended to agree with you, so I did recopy the text from Word to Notepad,
then recopied it into the FP2002 web page and reformatted the text in its
cell. Looked fine in FP2002, but after I published it, the text displays
left-justified online.

All you apparently applied justify to is your cell (<td>)
Select each paragraph <p> tag and apply the justify to the <p> tags which are now defaulting to left

PS
- trust you know justify is not globally supported by all browsers

Thanks, Stefan;

I highlighted each paragraph that needed justification an clicked on the
button that's supposed to justify text to left and right margins. And,
again, it looks fine in FP2002. But after publishing, it displays left
justified in IE 6.x. I must have something, somewhere in that page that's
overriding those paragraph settings when displayed online, but so far I
haven't figured out what.

Also, justified text is harder to read, particularly on the web, where the
justification is done with whole spaces between words rather than
microspaces between letters.

Applying justify to the <td> with CSS should properly cascade into the <p>
tags, however, in all v4+ browsers other than NN4x, e.g.,

<td style="text-align:justify">

.. But applying it this way -

<td valign="top" align="justify" width="680"><b><font face="Arial">The
origins of virtually all of today's most traumatic events in modern
history trace back to an earthshaking event during the early Sixteenth
Century that altered mankind's perception of our world forever when
the
generally accepted &quot;Flat Earth&quot; was suddenly proven to be a
sphere, circa
1520, when Magellan's ships first circumnavigated the globe.&nbsp;
That
discovery eventually gave birth to four schemes that plague our world
to
this day. </font></b>

will not work, since 'justify' is not a legal value for the align attribute.

Hi, Murray

I'm truly baffled as to why this one page won't justify right & left, and
yet all other pages in this web do with no problem.

Most likely because you have added the align="justify" to the <p> tag in the
other pages.

Get in the habit of looking at your markup. All of these answers would be
found there.

Hi, Murray;

It's solved now. I think the problem had to do with cell-width settings for
the central cell and the one on its right combined with the fact that
despite those settings I had enlarged an image in the right-hand column to
the point where it expended its column width and thereby had an adverse
effect on the format of text in the center column.

Markup? What's that?

I see... I should have realized what you meant. Thanks, Murray! I
sincerely appreciate your help.

I've seen in the past web input fields that included a mini text editor for
input into that field and when the data was submitted, the formatting went
with it (in html I assume) (This would be found in an admin section of the
site on an editor/add page)
