Field justification & length

[CJason]

I am wanting to loop through all the fields on my form, find the ones that are right-justified, and pad them on the left with spaces...to fill out the entire field length.

I have the looping and padding algorithms, but I don't know how to tell if the field is right justified...nor, the maximum length of the field.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

To see if a field is right justified, check its text-align mstyle and see if it set to "right":

alert(obj.style.textAlign);

to check its maximum lenth, check its maxlength property:

alert(obj.maxlength);

Hope this helps,
Dan

So, I should be able to do something like:

document.form[0].element[1].style.textAlign

and

document.form[0].element[1].maxlength

Thanks!

Sorry, one more thing. Is there a way to tell if a field is readonly or not?

Thanks again...and again!!!

Guess what - ".readonly"

Make sure to capitalize the O in read[!]O[/!]nly

Aah - thanks for that. I was thinking as I posted "Does the O need to be capitalised", then thought that it didn't, as when using getAttribute it didn't.

Of course, if not using getAttribute, then it does!
