right-align numbers

[shank]

How can I right-align the numbers so that all the periods line up vertically
with CSS?
I'm not using a table.
thanks

1. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
4. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
5. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
6. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
7. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Use an ordered list.

<ol>
<li>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</li>
<li>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</li>
<li>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</li>
[15 times]
</ol>

.... but what are you using? An <ol>? If not, why not?

My problem is that the page is ASP using a nested repeat region. I'm not
sure I can find the end of the inner repeat region to place a closing tag
</ol>. There's the rub. I was hoping for a magic CSS trick that would let me
correct the problem inline with the repeating data.
thanks

<ul>
<% for i = 1 to 10 %>

<% if i = 9 then %>
<ol>
<% for x = 1 to 20 %>
<li><%=x%></li>
<% next %>
</ol></li>
<% else %>
</li>
<%end if%>
<%next %>
