I have a need to display many numerical values in columns. These values need to be easily editable so I cannot just display them in a table. I am using textboxes to display
Did you try setting the style:
input {
text-align:right;
}
Just tested, this works fine (in FF3 at least):
Blah
You'll probably want to throw a class on these inputs, and use that class as the selector. I would shy away from "rightAligned" or something like that. In a class name, you want to describe what the element's function is, not how it should be rendered. "numeric" might be good, or perhaps the business function of the text boxes.
