How do I center text in a text field?

Martin Honnen,

NN6 and IE4+ support css to do that

<INPUT TYPE="text" STYLE="text-align: center;" SIZE="20" VALUE="Kibo">

Note that NN4 is centering the whole input field with this setting so 
you need to document.write the INPUT field:
  var input =
    '<INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="20" VALUE="Kibo"';
  if (document.all || document.getElementById)
    input += ' STYLE="text-align: center;"';
  input += '>';
  document.write(input);
