Text alignment in the horizontal axis can be controlled with this property. The style.verticalAlign property can be used to align objects vertically with respect to their parents.

The following values are appropriate for this property:

• left

• center

• right

• justify

Assigning the center value is equivalent to placing the <CENTER> tags around the text to be center justified. This aligns the text about the center of its width, but leaves the left and right hand sides of the text looking ragged.

The left value lines up the left edge of the text but leaves the right side ragged.

The right value lines up the right side of the text and leaves the left side ragged.

The justify keyword is intended to line up both the left and right sides nice and neatly, using space expansion between words to use up the additional space.

Warnings:

• The justify keyword is not defined in the CSS standard but is inconsistently supported across browsers and platforms. In many cases, it may result in a left justified and ragged right appearance rather than the left and right justified effect you would have expected.
