I am creating a data entry screen with text boxes within a table. I am
collecting the data into arrays (there are a fixed number of rows the user
is allowed to work with). Then I am using
<%=Server.HTMLEncode(array(element)))%> to push the data into text boxes.
The problem is that the data is always left-justfied no matter what I do to
the text box or to the cell. Does anyone have a suggestion? Is the
Server.HTMLEncode() a poor method of filling text boxes (or other form
controls)? Thanks in advance...!

Just a guess, is the data showing with trailing spaces? Many times the
database field is set to a fixed width, resulting in the value always being
returned with spaces padded at the end. If such is the case, it will always
*appear* to be left justified. I'd try
Server.HTMLEncode(Trim(array(element)) or
Trim(Server.HTMLEncode(array(element))

I think you mean right aligned
style="text-align: right"
