I made the code changes for this, and was testing to make sure it worked. It
didn't. So I went back to basics, and tried out the 'align' attribute with
the <input type="text"> element in plain HTML, using 'left', 'middle' and
'right' values. That didn't work either. As far as I can tell, IE 5.5,
Navigator 4.7, and Opera 5.12 all ignore the 'align' attribute when it is
applied to a text input element.

Can someone tell me which browser(s) supports this, so that I have a way of
testing the changes? I'd be surprised if newer versions of the browsers I
tried have introduced support for a deprecated attribute, but stranger
things have happened. :-)

Thanks!
