Hi,

I am new to java. Am creating a math webpage for teachers.  I have math 
problems where the input needs to be right to left (e.g. adding two 
multi-digit numbers in a column).  Is there an easy way to specify that the 
caret position needs to move from right to left instead of the standard left 
to right?

JTextField

setHorizontalAlignment

public void setHorizontalAlignment(int alignment)

    Sets the horizontal alignment of the text. Valid keys are:

        * JTextField.LEFT
        * JTextField.CENTER
        * JTextField.RIGHT
        * JTextField.LEADING
        * JTextField.TRAILING 

    invalidate and repaint are called when the alignment is set, and a
PropertyChange event ("horizontalAlignment") is fired.

    Parameters:
        alignment - the alignment 
    Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if alignment is not a valid key
