sorry another question (and i really can't find the answer to this one!)
i have one thing left for it to validate but i can't for the life of me see why it is insisting on this...
the code is
<div id="leftColumn">
<h3>introduction</h3>
<p align="justify"><b>At present over 125 million children around the world of primary school age are not in school.</b> This means that a staggering one in five children are not receiving even the most basic of primary educations. </p>
<p align="justify">Many families live in poverty and cannot afford to send their children to school. This lack of education locks families into a cycle where each generation grows into adulthood without qualification and unable to provide the education for their own children that would break the cycle for them.</p>
<p align="justify">In today's highly integrated world where economic activity is increasingly knowledge based, it is becoming ever more vital for a nation to provide a decent education for all its children if it is to ever lift its people out of poverty.</p>
<p></p>
</div>
and it is what i have highlighted in bold that it won't let through. i really can't figure out why. it allows it everywhere else?!
any ideas?
thanks,
jim
Line 53, column 13: there is no attribute "ALIGN" (explain...).
<p align="justify"><b>At present over 125 million children around the world
cheers,

cheers

Actually, it doesn't... It just saves you the trouble of reading mutiple lines with the exact same error ;)
Which DTD are you validating against?
Have you considered using CSS?
p {
text-align: justify;
}
Also, you shouldn't use empty paragraphs <p></p>. User agents are supposed to ignore them.
so why does DW2004 use these tags?
Because nothing beats handcoding ;)

Cause dreamweaver sucks ;)
Try using <p style="text-align:justify;> instead.
<edit>looks like doc beat me to it</edit>

that may well be true and i hope to join you one day but i'm still very new to this :( (and it still doesn't excuse DW!
anyways thanks for the advice :)
