If it is possible, could someone demonstrate how to make the text
entered into an <INPUT TYPE=TEXTfield right-align within the entry
field, please?

The fields in my form are for numbers, and they look strange aligned left.

input.whatever {
text-align: right;
}

But that will probably confuse users. I wouldn't recommend it.

Have you already tryed align="right" or style="text-align: right"?

I hadn't tried that, but it produced exactly the effect that I wanted.
Thank you!

And Leif, no need to worry about the "user" - that's me. I agree
entirely that it's a very odd effect when you're not expecting it!
However, I tend to use right-aligned fields in Word documents quite
regularly, so I'm over the worst of the effects!

A quick check of three different mobile phones reveals that they all
right-align the numbers being typed in, so I suggest that an awful lot
of people will already be familiar with the concept. (Pretty strange
actually - right-aligning *telephone* numbers isn't a sensible thing to
do, as there are no column weights involved. Telephone numbers are
really just a special kind of text string.)
