is there a way to justify text on a webpage... like when you are using a word processing program, it stretches the text a little so that the ends of the lines are even on both sides?

Yup, if you're using divs, just add align="justify" in the tag. Or maybe it was text align="justify"? Well, one of those is bound to work. :)

align=justify should work, if you want the CSS way it's text-align: justify;

werd big berd!!! :-P it worked, thanks! i used the CSS one.
