Have you considered an imbedded frame? (Looks like a textarea, with the ability to imbed all types of controls (and tables) within it). I'm not sure that all browsers support <IFRAME> yet, but the most widely used one does. Another approach would be to use sprinf() formatting to imbed leading/trailing spaces to allow everything to line up, assuming your text area uses a fixed pitch font like courier. Course since the control is an input control, trust your users are going to screw up the alignment, and don't count on getting the data back all neatly lined up.
