Justify Text in a HTML/XHTML TextArea

i dont think this is possible in the html textarea element. you might be able to use some sort of wysiwyg editor (editable div). ie. fckeditor

I dealt with same issue and found out very stupid solution. Make sure that the text to be displayed falls within the start and end tag elements in the same line and not in the next line

<textarea  name="description" readonly="readonly" rows="4" cols="66">Text aligned toward left</textarea>

and not like

<textarea  name="description" readonly="readonly" rows="4" cols="66">
Text aligned toward left
</textarea>

Depending on your target browser... this solution works in Chrome. It does not work work in Firefox however... but I'll post it anyway.

In addition to setting text-align: justify, you must also set white-space: normal.

    textarea {
        text-align: justify;
        white-space: normal;
    }

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.

For me (in Firefox), this code works perfectly:

textarea{
    resize: none;
    text-align: justify;
    white-space: pre-line;
    -moz-text-align-last: left;
    text-align-last: left;
}

Using a common div with contenteditable="true" worked in my case. Doesn't work for most mobile browsers though.

<div contenteditable="true">Some content</div>

It works fine on Chrome, but not on IE.

text-align: justify; white-space: normal;
