by default labels are inline elements which shouldn't follow the width declaration. In your css you can set up the following:
<style> label {display:block;float:left;} </style> Then all the labels will follow the width declaration. Of course, you open a whole new can of worms with the float :) On 11/15/05, Bryan Stevenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey All, > > Sorry for the OT...but yer a smart bunch ;-) > > THE CODE: > <fieldset> > > <legend><strong>Grouped things</strong></legend> > > <div style="display: block; margin: 5px; padding: 5px; width: 100%";> > <label for="input1" class="NormalTextGrey" style="width: 100px;">Prompt > 1</label> > <input type="text" name="input1" id="input1" /> > <label for="input2" class="NormalTextGrey" style="width: 100px;">Prompt > text 2</label> > <input type="text" name="input2" id="input2" /> > <br> > <label for="input3" class="NormalTextGrey" style="width: 100px;">Prompt > text 3</label> > <input type="text" name="input3" id="input3" /> > <!--- <span style="width: 100px;">Prompt 4</span> ---> > <label for="input4" class="NormalTextGrey" style="width: 100px;">Prompt > 4</label> > <input type="text" name="input4" id="input4" /> > <br> > <label for="input5" class="NormalTextGrey" style="width: 100px;">Prompt > text 5</label> > <input type="text" name="input5" id="input5" /> > <label for="input6" class="NormalTextGrey" style="width: 100px;">Prompt > text 6</label> > <input type="text" name="input6" id="input6" /> > </div> > > </fieldset> > > THE PROBLEM: > > The style="width: 100px;" is totally ignored in NS 7 but fine in IE 6 and > Opera 7+.
