Try this in your CSS   input   text-align  right      To align the text in the center    input   text-align  center      But  it should be left-aligned  as that is the default - and appears to be the most user friendly

If you want to get it aligned to the right after the text looses focus you can try to use the direction modifier  This will show the right part of the text after loosing focus  e g  useful if you want to show the file name in a large path    x000D   x000D  input rightAligned   x000D    direction ltr  x000D    overflow hidden  x000D    x000D  input rightAligned not  focus    x000D    direction rtl  x000D    text-align  left  x000D    unicode-bidi  plaintext  x000D    text-overflow  ellipsis  x000D    x000D   lt form gt  x000D       lt input type  text  class  rightAligned  name  name  value    gt  x000D   lt  form gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    The not selector is currently well supported   Browser support

Use the text-align property in your CSS   input        text-align  right       This will take effect in all the inputs of the page  Otherwise  if you want to align the text of just one input  set the style inline    lt input type  text  style  text-align right    gt

The accepted answer here is correct but I d like to add a little info  If you are using a library   framework like bootstrap there may be built in classes for this  For example bootstrap uses the text-right class  Use it like this    lt input type  text  class  text-right   gt    lt input type  number  class  text-right   gt    As a note this works on other input types as well  like numeric as shown above   If you aren t using a nice framework like bootstrap then you can make your own version of this helper class  Similar to other answers but we are not going to add it directly to the input class so it won t apply to every single input on your site or page  this might not be desired behavior  So this would create a nice easy css class to align things right without needing inline styling or affecting every single input box    text-right      text-align  right      Now you can use this class exactly the same as the inputs above with class  text-right   I know it isn t saving that many key strokes but it makes your code cleaner
