 |
|
Does anyone have a source for a good number formatting routine ??
When formating currency for html output, "formatfloat" wont allow you to
right justify the output so that currency fields line up with other currency
fields above them. I have never found where it allowed a "suppressed zero"
place holder in the output. I guess I could write one real quick but thought
maybe someone has a few lines of code to toss my way.
TIA

Can you wrap the output in a <div> and float that right in the
container? Also, the <td> tag does have the align attribute.

Rich,
Yea the <td does have align but the <input type=text doesn't have an align .
If you have a stack of text boxes and different size amounts , it looks like
crap because everything keeps coming out left justified unless you force
blanks onto the front of the small numbers so that they push to the right
and the decimal places all line up .
I'm a neat-freak I guess

You can cheat it with a style -
<input type="text"; size="25"; style="Text-Align: Right;">
