justify

I have an html form where the width of a textarea is specified with cols=. I want the textarea to have a specific width in terms of number of characters.

However, I also want some controls to be right-justified to the right edge of the textarea. They're not in the textarea, but directly above or below it. Is it possible to do this?

I was thinking a possible approach might be enclosing the textarea with some type of container that could grow to the width of the textarea, but I'm not sure how I could right-justify text within that.
