cfinput 'datefield' always aligns to left

[StephenHowerd1]

It appears that  cfinput 'datefield' always aligns to left, I have tried everything I can think of to get it to align center (in the td, in a div,  style in the input, etc) and it just wont align center, I even tried putting a bunch  of   in front of the input and it puts them on the right. Any Help would be appreciated.

Over the years I have moved away from using CF input validation and instead use jquery and the validation plug-in.

For a more direct answer, have you tried creating a "center" class with text-align set to !important:

.center{ text-align:center !important; }

Then adding this class to the cfinput tag?

Yes I have , text-align: center only centers the text and not the input element.

Sorry, I misunderstood -- I thought you wanted the text within centered. Maybe try "margin:0 auto !important" instead. Other than that, jquery would be my recommendation.
