Text filed of jasper report alignment issue in IE8 - jasper-reports

Question

I am using iReport to create JR reports, and I would like to know if there is a way to set the text alignment for IE8. I have already set textAlignment="Left" but it does not work for IE8. Right now in IE8 it display at the center of total size of text field.
My text field is located at Is it any other property Page Footer band. Is it any different property present for IE? Is any other property present so that my text field automatically resize with respect to total text present in text box?
Following is my code:
<textField isBlankWhenNull="true">
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="413" height="30">
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.tag.td" value="full"/>
</reportElement>
<box leftPadding="10"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Left" verticalAlignment="Middle">
<font size="12"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["Created By: "+ $P{CREATED_BY}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

I solved ii by some jquery trick. it is not a exact solution but it works for me
Alter jasper report render on jsp page. it structure like this
<td>
<p>
<span> Created By:
</span>
</p>
</td>
Using jquery I have find out specific span for "Created by" text. then parent of span i.e and apply text align property left.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('span').each(function() {
//alert($(this).html());
if($(this).html().indexOf("Created By") == 0)
{
$(this).parent().css("text-align","left");
}
});
});
</script>
