Justifying a text in a textbox

I've got a ridiculous problem, but there's no way to find the way.
The think is that I can't justify the text in a textbox of a book.
I found a similar post in that forum that solves the problem. There is said that I've to select the textbox and not the text and a different menu will appear. There's no way to select the textbox...
I understand it looks like a ridiculous question, but really, I don't know how to do it.
thank you everyone!

I've found it at the "MoreLikeThis" frame.
Just shake it! Then appear a window with a undo-function.
Thanks!

Vertically center text in a textbox

Like Indesign, a way to vertically justify or center a text in a textbox.

I don't know if there is a way to automatically center the text, but you can play with padding, if font size and height are fixed:
.text-box *.viewport {
    -fx-padding: 15 5 3 5;
// Tested with:
TextBox
    text: "Hello World"
    columns: 12
    selectOnFocus: true
    layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { height: 50 }
}

Change background of the text in a TextBox

(JavaFX 1.3) How can one change the background (color, gradient, whatever) of the text in a TextBox without affecting any of the other display (Skin) attributes for the TextBox?
A related question is: How can I programmatically determine the background (color, gradient, whatever) of the text in a TextBox?
I would like to be able to indicate to the user that the text entered is not valid by changing the background of the text to something other than the original background and change it back to the original background when the text is valid. This would probably be done inside overridden replaceSelection and/or commit functions when extending a TextBox.

This seems to change the background of a button from the caspian style to something else and back to the caspian style, without losing the focus highlight.
// caspianFXBodyColor = definition of -fx-body-color in .scene from caspian.css
def caspianFXBodyColor = "linear (0%,0%) to (0%,100%) stops (0,derive(-fx-color,34%)) (1,derive(-fx-color,-18%))";
def revisedFXBodyColor = "red";
Stage {
scene: Scene {
    width: 250
    height: 300
    content: Button {
      var isCaspian = true;
      var bodyColor: String = caspianFXBodyColor;
      text: "push me"
      style: bind "-fx-body-color: {bodyColor};"
      action: function() {
        if (isCaspian = not isCaspian) bodyColor = caspianFXBodyColor
        else bodyColor = revisedFXBodyColor;
}However, the original question regarding how to do this for a TextBox remains unanswered. The following code demonstrates that changing the value for -fx-background-color changes the background color as desired, but the focus highlight is lost. Changing the value of -fx-body-color has no visible effect.
// caspianBGColor = definition of -fx-background-color in .text-box{} in caspian.css
def caspianBGColor = "-fx-background-color: -fx-shadow-highlight-color, -fx-text-box-border, -fx-control-inner-background;";
def revisedBGColor = "-fx-background-color: -fx-shadow-highlight-color, -fx-text-box-border, red;";
def caspianBodyColor = "-fx-body-color: -fx-control-inner-background;";
def revisedBodyColor = "-fx-body-color: red;";
def box = TextBox { text: "sample text" }
var isCaspianBackground = true;
var isCaspianBody = true;
def button1 = Button {
text: bind "change {if (isCaspianBackground) 'from' else 'to'} caspian background color"
action: function() {
    if (isCaspianBackground) box.style = revisedBGColor else box.style = caspianBGColor;
    isCaspianBackground = not isCaspianBackground;
def button2 = Button {
text: bind "change {if (isCaspianBody) 'from' else 'to'} caspian body color"
action: function() {
    if (isCaspianBody) box.style = revisedBodyColor else box.style = caspianBodyColor;
    isCaspianBody = not isCaspianBody;
Stage {
scene: Scene {
    width: 250
    height: 300
    content: [ VBox { content: [ box, button1, button2 ] } ]

Hello,
I'm designing my own website and want to know how to change the background color of a particular word without changing the background color of the rest of the text in a textbox. If i can't do this, how can I create a Table, similar to Excel with iWeb?

How to justify the text of a bulleted list

Does anyone know if it is possible to justify the text of a bulleted list in the same way as for a paragraph? I can do it in Microsoft Word but I can't seem to do it in Illustrator.
When I justify the text of a paragraph in Illustrator it works perfectly fine. But when I do it for bulleted text, it gets all weird. Can anyone offer any advice? I'd greatly appreciate it!

The only solution I'm seeing is this older post from CS3 that directs you to use the inDesign text engine.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/467763
Typographically having a bullet list aligned other then flush left rag right seems unnatural. I would like if you could post a screen shot of the Word doc that is aligned the way you envision your text aligning in Illustrator.

Justify the text in a 'outputText' component

How can I justify the text in a 'outputText' component ?
All properties work, except the 'text-align' property
<h:outputText styleClass="texto" value="#{menusBean.texto}" escape="false"/>
I use this in a css file.
.texto {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding: 3px;
font-size: 11px;
color: #333333;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: justify;
Thanks,
Sérgio Morais

If you are not concerned about using renderkits other than the HTML renderkit then you can wrap the outputText tag with an HTML div tag. However, if you want to leverage other renderkits then I would advise wrapping your ouputText tag with a panel such as the PanelHorizontal.

Justify Hyperlink Text in Navigation Bar

Hello,
I am trying to justify the text of my navigation bar (which are all hyperlinks). I would like to use css. I have tried a variety of things but none seem to work. I have attached the text. If anyone could write the code I need it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! I have attached the file as well.

As you will see though, by making the menu text so large, the interval between menu items looks all off. Eithr dramatically red
uce the text size, or you can set the width of each individual li by giving some an id and specifying width:
<div id="NavigationBar">
<ul>
    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    <li id="prod"><a href="scarves.html">products</a></li>

    <li><a href="construction.html">FAQ's</a></li>
    <li><a href="construction.html">contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
wtih this css - the changes in orange
#NavigationBar a {
    color: #666;
    font-family: Arial verdana sans-serif;
    font-size: 20px;
    text-decoration: none;

Javascript Text Alignment in TextBox

I have a textbox item, P1_MY_AMT, which contains amount value in "$9,999,999.55" format. I have a function that takes user input (numbers) and formats it with a dollar sign, and commas and returns the formatted value to the textbox. I'm using the onBlur event to display the value to the user.
What I need to do is align the "$" to the left side of the textbox (left justified), and the amount to the right of the textbox (right justified). I have to do this strictly using javascript, and cannot use any built-in stuff from Apex, since this function will ultimately be also used in another html based app.
Any ideas on how I can achieve this?
Any help is appreciated.

As I said in my question, I cannot use anything specific to Apex, because this procedure is also used in some pl/sql cartridges, and so needs to use pure javascript. I found a workaround..not a very polished way but still works fine. I created a table with 2 columns and 1 row. In the first column I put a textbox containing on the “$” and in the second I put a textbox with the amount value. I’m hiding the “$” sign textbox when there is nothing in the amount box. I made the “$” sign left justified and contents of the amount textbox right justified. I made the textboxes without border, and so the table itself actually looks like it is a textbox! Works for me at the moment.
Thanks everyone for the pointers.

Justifying Dynamic Text

I am currently in the process of updating .txt files that are
dynamically linked to my pages. The person who designed the dynamic
setup does not know how to justify the text inside the .txt file.
It currently shows up as ragged right and i need it to be justified
on both sides. Can anyone help?

The best way to do this would be to apply the text formatting
to the
container the text gets plopped into. You could create a CSS
class and apply
it to the container .. whatever it may be. Then any text taht
gets put into
this area will be justified by default and the person
adding/changing the
text doesn't have to worry about anything.
.justify {
text-align: justify;

Displaying left justified readonly text

Anyone have any ideas as to how we can display readonly text left justified?
Form doesn't cut it because everything is centered, and I don't need labels to display my data.
TextBox doesn't cut it, because I don't want the data to be editable.
Canvas... Man talk about a head ache. First there is NO title bar (like the rest of the application, so I would need to draw one first), and then I would have to implement all of the line wrapping, and scrolling etc.
I even thought about alert, but feel it would probably look ghetto.
I just want a textbox that isn't editable. Anyone have any thoughts

Why do you blame the Form? It has alignment options and i guess default is left-aligned (why centered???) Then use String to append the string to a form.
String s = new String("Blablabla");
myform.append(s);
I have already used this approach to display readonly text. The one thing i don't like is that the form scrolls the text screen by screen, not line by line. Does somebody knows how to scroll line by line?

Different coloured text in one Textbox

Can someone PLEASE help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to know how to have different coloured text in the same textbox.
My application has text being inputted into the textbox every 5 seconds from 2 different sources. I want to differenciate the text by showing the user 2 different colours for each source.
Thank you very much

Acording to the first post it also shows data, so it is a GUI component. i never sow a textbox.
JTextPane can show data in different colors. also JTextArea can.
