Automatic flow of text possible in combination with form text field

Hi

We would like to know whether it's possible to align text automatically with a form field that can contain different amounts of characters.

For example:

We have a form with a currency text field at the ending of an alinea of text. The period to mark the end of the sentence should always be printed just behind the currency field. For the moment, the period character has a fixed place, just outside the reach of the currency field. This doesn't look right when the currency field contains only 2 characters (because of the whitespace).

Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks.

It's only possible if the period text is also a part of a text field, preferably the same one. You can use a custom validation or format script to automatically add that text to the user's text, assuming it's a fixed value or one that you can know in advance. If it's also a value that is entered by the user then it becomes almost impossible to do it smoothly.

Thank you for the quick response. We're going to adjust the value of the text field so the period is included.
