Centering textInput without centering text cursor

[mawilson]

I can create, center, and display a newTextInput with the following code:

newTextInput().center().print()

When I do this, the text area itself is centered (as desired). However, the cursor inside the text area is also centered, so the text expands from the center as participants type, as shown:

Is there a way to center the text area, but have the text cursor start at the left side, like this?

Hello,

Ah, right, I noticed this problem before. I doubt anyone would even want to center the cursor, so I should probably change the effect of the center command on TextInput elements. In the meantime, you can do this:

newTextInput().cssContainer("text-align","center").print()
