Thanks for that but I was actually wanting to center align justified
text for a particular purpose. Evidently my experiment is invalid.
If that isn't a solution to your problem, then you need to more clearly
explain what you are trying to do. Conceptually, it makes no sense to
both center and justify text, since they are mutually exclusive values.
I tried your suggested code, but couldn't find any browser that produces
the result you described in either quirks or standards mode, all
browsers I tried correctly ignore the values and default to left alignment.
Please provide a better description, a sample document or some form of
illustration (eg. ascii art or a link to an image) that demonstrates the
effect you are trying to achieve. If, as you say, the sample code you
provided does produce the effect you want, please provide a test case
and indicate which broken browser gives the intended result so we may
see for ourselves.
