I am putting numerical text in labels. I want to have them justified/aligned to the right in the labels. I have tried using the style properties to no avail. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

Did you try the text-align style property?

Yes, I did give this a try, but to no avail. I was a bit surprised by this.

Are you formatting this on the client side or server side? I have had some problems using client side that worked on the server side.

I am using the text-align property in the stylesheet class. I believe this manifests itelf on the client side.

Is the label in a table?

Poetic...

No it is not - but that gives me an idea. I might just put that text in a table cell and align it right.

Right! ;)

The problem with a Label control is that it is usually as wide as it contents. A Label is rendered as a <span> tag, so all it contains is the actual text / contents of the label.

So, the text is actually right-aligned. However, since the label matches the size of the content, you won't notice the difference.

To effectively right-align, you need a container that is larger than the contents. A <td> is one way; a <span> tag with an explicit width wider than the contents is another, and for numbers, a right-aligned text box could be another useful possibility.

Did the trick. Thanks.
