Here is my code:

 

Legal costs: £ <input type="text" name="Legal Costs" /><br/><br/>

 

I have created a style for the box to float it to the right so all boxes and text align but I'd like to position the £ just to the left of the box. I've tried wrapping in a <span> and floating it to the right but it then appears after the box and I tried giving it a left-margin of 200px but that margin is from the end of the heading rather than the edge of the screen.

 

Does that make any sense at all?

 

So

 

Legal Costs:-align left, £ just to the left of the text entry field box & text entry box-aligned to the right.

 

Ja

Your should use a LABEL element for the input label

 

<label for="lc">Legal costs: £</label> <input type="text" id="lc" name="Legal Costs" />

 

You can now float just the LABEL element to the left and it should line up

 

Thanks BlueDreamer. What does the 'for' stand for? Also its the £ that I needed to float towards the box so that you have the text on the left with the pound sign and box on the left, know what I mean?
