Presumably to make labels equally wide. An alternative, and in some ways
better, approach is to use a table of labels and input fields.

I wonder why. Is it really a _label_, and why would you make its
rendering different from other labels.

No, the initial value is float: none, and that's what browsers use as

No, the initial value is width: auto, and that's what browsers use as
the default. For an inline element (which is what label elements are by
default), the the default means that the element is as wide as needed
for its content.

Hi,
This is for a form and I am not using tables but a list as follows
(This is ASP.NET MVC Preview 3. Html.TextBox is an Input):
<form id="Edit" action="<%= Url.Action("Update", new { id =
ViewData.Model.Box.BoxID }) %>" method="post" class="Base">
<fieldset>
<legend>Editar Caixa</legend>
<ol>
<li>
<label for="Name" class="Required">Nome</label>
<%= Html.TextBox("Name", (string)ViewData["Name"] ??
ViewData.Model.Box.Name.ToString()) %>
</li>
<li>
<label for="Body">Conteúdo</label>
<%= Html.TextArea("Body", (string)ViewData["Body"] ??
ViewData.Model.Box.Body.ToString(), 10, 20) %>
</li>
</ol>
</fieldset>
</form>
I set the width of the label to push the inputs to the right:
form.Base {}
form.Base fieldset {}
form.Base fieldset legend {display: none;}
form.Base fieldset ol {}
form.Base fieldset ol li {padding: 0.4em 0 0.4em 8em;}
form.Base fieldset ol li input, form.Base fieldset ol li
textarea {
border: solid 4px #F0F0F0; /* #E1EDF0 */
color: #252525;
font: normal 0.8em Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
padding: 0.15em;
width: 95%;
}
form.Base fieldset ol li label {
color: #404040;
float: left;
font: bold 0.9em Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif;
margin: 0.3em 0 0 -8em;
padding: 0 1em 0 0;
text-align: right;
width: 6.5em;
}
I am using a JQuery Validation Plugin that displays a error messages
rendered as Labels. These are the ones I want to restyle.
Should I render this error messages with another tag?
Basically I want to give them a red background with padding of 1.2 em
and I don't want them to expand 100% so it shouldn't be a block
element ...
Anyway, any suggestions are welcome to solve this or improve my code.
Thanks,
Miguel
