Justify doesn't want to work

I've been trying to justify some text: when I align it left or right or
centre, it works, but when I align it to justify it ignores me.
I've tried overriding the CSS by justifying withing the html instead and
it still won't justify. Neither in IE nor in FF.
What am I doing wrong?

You've misunderstood what justify does, only when a line of text wraps
at the right edge of it's container will the text on that line be
justified.

Okay... that makes sense. The example I was trying to copy had justify
as well as tables as well as all sorts of other attributes, and now I'm
trying to do the same thing using CSS. Is it possible to have a row of
Hrefs justified across a page without using tables? Basically a list
of links running horizontally instead of vertically, but justified so
that if the page size is different it'll spread itself out?

If your list of links is marked up in a <ul> then you can float the <li>
elements, give each a width in % based on the number of them and you end
up with links spread evenly across the browser window.

Have a look at tutorial 4 on this page, and imagine the links were
evenly spread out across the width of the window...
