Problems with HTML Rendering

I have a report that uses a list data region. Within the list, I have various
text boxes and some of these are right-justified. When I preview the report
in both Debug & DebugLocal modes, everything looks fine. However, the minute
i deploy the report, and preview it via the brower, all my right justified
elements get pushed to the extreme left. Some text boxes are even brought
down on the next line. I am not sure what is causing this shift in location.
Here are the sizes of my report, body, and list region:
Report: 8.5in x 11in (Margins 1in on each side)
Body: 6.5in x 5.125in
List: 6.375in x 4.375
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks...On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 10:19:05 -0800, Aparna

Any kind of rendering (including HTML) is quite messy and buggy in RS
when it comes to textboxes. (Especially when they are close to each
other.) My suggestion to you - use a table instead of multiple
textboxes whenever possible. This is a much cleaner solution, and more
powerful, too. You can merge cells freely in table rows, play with
text alignment and padding, etc. A lot less surprises and saves you a
lot of design and testing time.|||Yes, I finally realized that it was because some of the textboxes were
overlapping...Ofcourse after I fixed it, I saw that documented somewhere in
the Help! But you are right, I should use tables instead of textboxes...Thank
you for your help...
