Does any one know how to line up (right justify) these input objects?

Your help would be appreciated.

putting align in the <td> tag should justify the contents of the cell -Greg :-Q

Greg,

You can see that in my code, I have already tried that. Unfortunately, that only works for the &quot;labels&quot;, not for the INPUT cells.

hi dove,

im not quite sure where you want to align the input boxes to but i notice from looking at your code that you have an inconsistent number of <td>'s across your rows. For the table to work properly (especially in all browsers) you need to have consistent numbers of <td>'s. You can use the colspan and rowspan attribute to make a <td> span anumber of columns (or rows) and this may well be the solution to your alignment problem.

good luck with it

Are you trying to align the input boxes themselves, or the contents of the input boxes? If the latter try adding
Code: 
style=&quot;text-align:right&quot;
to the input box tag. Tracy Dryden
