Yes, it's a table, but I didn't want to make a 3rd column for directions.
Since the inputs are of various widths, the 2nd column would be as wide as the
widest field, and therefore the directions would usually be off to the side
rather than right next to the input field.
Then, since these different sizes are in characters, not pixels or ems or
anything helpful, how would I know how what width to set?
I did have one idea, to surround the dirs with
<table><tr><td>text</td></tr></table>, styled to be invisible, thereby insuring
a blocky appearance, but I was hoping for something better/more elegant than
tiny little tables floating inside another table's TDs.

Checkpoint 1: tabular data? Yes, so table allowed. ;-)
First idea: isn't it possible to add a 3rd table column for the directions,
instead of styling something on the right side of the input?
Otherwise maybe a margin-left (with the width of the input) for the direction
element can be applied, in addition to a float-left of the input?
Greetings,
francky
