Why does IE full justify the text?

Question

On my company's website (www.dmacorporation.com we have a section on the first page that isn't displaying properly. The IDM Integrated Database Management System is appearing as fully justified, but it is supposed to be left justified. I have fixed a local copy to show up properly in other browsers by changing the in-page css to include a text-align for the a.NormalHL class, but IE doesn't acknowledge this. Can anyone tell me what would need to be changed to get this left justified instead of full justified? Thanks.

p.s. don't mind the mess, we're only allowed to fix the code right now :(

Answer 1

The following is line 126 from the default.css file:

P {font-family:Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:9pt; text-align:justify;}

Since that link is a child of the following:

<p class="WhiteLink Style10" align="center">

it inherits the justified text-align. If you change line 126 to say:

P {font-family:Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:9pt; text-align:left;}

that should fix it. If, for some reason, you cannot access default.css, you can always add this line of code in the css file you have access to:

P {text-align:left !important;}
