Hi Terry,

What I want is that *all* text with the exception of the "P.left" class 
should be justified (ie aligned to left _and_ right).  I thought that the P 
{text-align: justify} would do this, but it doesn't, or rather it does, but it 
seems to get overridden by "P.diary", since removing this makes it 
align?!  What's weirder is that the diary class *has* a text-align: justify in 
it.  

I'm confused, that's why I'm sticking with plain HTML for the most part 
until my stats indicate that most of my viewers are on to IE5/NS6!! 
(assuming that we can believe the hype about the latter :o)  ).

Raj.

As far as Death was aware, the sole reason for any human association with
pigs and lambs was as a prelude to sausages and chops.  Quite why they should
dress up for children's wallpaper as well was a mystery.
