Justify Text in a HTML/XHTML TextArea

Question

I am currently trying to justify text in a textarea, unfortunately the CSS:

text-align: justify;

Doesn\'t work on the text like center, lef

Answer 1

I believe that common practice is to use the TEXTAREA for input without worying about justification; and then, once the input is processed (i.e. the FORM is submitted, or an event of the TEXTAREA is captured), the contents are displayed in a non-editable text element (such as P, SPAN, TD) where the text-align: justify; style attribute will be honored.
