radio buttons don't align with labels in css column layout

Mike Otten

Any help greatly appreciated.

The validated page is at: http://myweb.stedwards.edu/michaelo/ddtab.htm

The trouble is with the radio buttons (2/3-down the left column). The
radios are displaying a line above their respective labels. Here are the
html and css snippets:

<fieldset class="radio">
<legend>Credit card</legend>
<label><input name=card1 type="radio" />American Express</label>
<label><input name=card1 type="radio" />Mastercard</label>
<label><input name=card1 type="radio" />Visa</label>
</fieldset>

#columnarForm fieldset{
float: left;
display: block;
width: 24em;
margin: 0 1em 1em 1em;
padding: 0 1em 1em 1em;
}

#columnarForm legend{
font-weight: bold;
}

#columnarForm fieldset.radio
{
width: 18em;
margin: -1em 0 2em 0;
}

#columnarForm fieldset.radio input
{
clear: both;
float: left;
position: static;
}

#columnarForm fieldset.radio label
{
font-weight: normal;
}

radios are displaying a line above their respective labels. Here are the
html and css snippets: [snip]
#columnarForm fieldset.radio input
{
clear: both;
float: left;
position: static; width: auto;
height: auto; }

[snip]

You needed to cancel out the specific width and height you'd set in the
properties for the more general selector:

#columnarForm input

Well, that had a lot more effect than the things I've been trying. But now
the labels and the radios are all smushed on top of eachother:

Newer version: http://myweb.stedwards.edu/michaelo/ddtab1.htm
Original version: http://myweb.stedwards.edu/michaelo/ddtab.htm

On a related note, I am wide open to any suggestions for getting the
checkboxes to move over closer to their labels (right column, halfway down
and near the bottom).

Thanks for your help-

Why are you designing a new page as Transitional? You should be using
HTML 4.01 Strict.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

Oh, yeah: you also have to override the float on the labels, which I'd
done and forgotten to mention:

#columnarForm fieldset.radio label
{
font-weight: normal;
float: none;
}

Your checkboxes are the same width as your text entry fields for the
same reason that your radio buttons were the same width as your text
entry fields. Now you have the solution.

TADA!! Thank you so much Harlan Messinger. My radio buttons display
pleasurably! I hope you have a great afternoon.

I am still wrestling with the checkboxes and have not had any hunt/peck luck
with the syntax. I am trying to cancel the width and height that I set for
"input" (the more general selector), but can't get the syntax right for
either checkboxes or submit buttons (as shown below).

I've tried:
#columnarForm input.checkbox { width: auto; height: auto; }
#columnarForm input checkbox { width: auto; height: auto; }
#columnarForm label input.checkbox { width: auto; height: auto; }
And a few others I am too embarrassed to post!

<fieldset>
<label>Tax Exempt <INPUT TYPE=checkbox value="" /> </label>
<INPUT TYPE=submit value="Add Another Note" />
</fieldset>

Again,thanks for your help with the radio buttons. As is obvious, I am
pretty lost and frustrated with css.

Turn off JavaScript. Are you going to assume every visitor has the
capability? Personally, I don't understand why you write nearly the
entire page with it. JavaScript should only be used for fluff and not
for anything critical.

You should use CSS and set top and bottom margins to the elements where
you need space.

Also, you should have a look at the page after increasing the text size.
In Firefox (with JavaScript on) I pressed Control-Plus twice because my
eyes are bad, and your whole page fell apart.

You haven't assigned a background color to the body element, so my ugly
purple is used.
Thanks for you input-

This would apply to a checkbox tag inside an input tag. Since there's no
such thing as a checkbox tag, and you don't have any, this won't work.
#columnarForm label input.checkbox { width: auto; height: auto; }
Same comment as my first one.

But now you've made it XHTML 1.0 Strict, which will give problems to IE

Will do. Any syntax tips are most welcome.

Put a margin-top: 3em; or whatever is appropriate, in the style for the
element you want to shove downward.

You need to assign font sizes with percentage instead of px (for IE
users) and you need to undo all the fixed positioning. Your page is
reasonably complex, and I don't have time at the moment to redo it all
for you. Sorry.

If I were you, though, I would seriously consider moving from JavaScript
to plain HTML for the page.

Firefox PrefBar makes it easy to disable JavaScript and other things:
http://prefbar.mozdev.org/ and a screenshot with Customize open:

And I am very new to css and don't know how to set the body
background.

body { background-color: #fff; }

Technically, the following CSS syntax will do what you want without
requiring a new class, but IE doesn't recognize it. It works in Firefox.

#columnarForm input[type=checkbox] { ... }

The fact that you can post that answer, without cringeing, suggests
that you are unfamiliar with current WWW authoring practices.

That single line was most well and truly broken! in HTML terms. What
the browser makes of it is undefined. Use CSS for presentation
proposals.

Is that the only reason? Clickless tabs?

Most surfers are used to clicking on links (and tabs), so I see no need
to overly complicate the page just for that. In fact, I'd bet that
almost all of your visitors will still click on the tabs. It's
pre-programmed in their little heads.

Having the content generated by JavaScript (the forms) is far more
serious than any clickless tabs, though.

I'm still seeing the credit card radio buttons in disarray. "Visa" is on
top of "Mastercard". "American?" American Express?

And the right-most portion of the longer labels is under the input
fields.

I don't see a Submit button - only a Add Another Note button. What will
the visitor click to .. um .. submit the form?

I don't know why that *doesn't* happen in Firefox, but, again, look at
what you've specified for the more general case:

#columnarForm label{
clear: both;
float: left;
display: block;
width: 9em;
margin-top: -1em;
font-weight: bold;
}

Check the margin-top. I don't know whether or why it's appropriate for
any of the other labels, but that's what's smooshing the radio button
labels. Override for the specific case with margin-top: 0.

Do you have any (general) suggestions for recoding my CSS to eliminate pixel
and absolute measurements? I could live with, say, suggesting a 2-column
layout that basically flow-fills with my top-level fieldsets (Company,
Billing, Contact, Alternate Contact, etc.). My expectation would be that
roughly the first half fill the left column and the remainder fill the right
column. If the things get too big (width-wise), then drop to a single
column (still flow-filling from top to bottom). I'd have no idea how to do
this with CSS. Any tips welcome.

The client? I have never had a client tell me what technology must be
used for a web page/site. Never once. My clients don't even have a clue
what JavaScript _is_, much less insist it be used (to eliminate 10% of
his clients).

Yeah, tell him that. Most good guesses are that ~10% of web surfers have
JavaScript disabled or unavailable, perhaps stripped by corporate
firewalls. You might as well turn off the web site for a month each
year.

Hmmm... you might want to zoom text a couple notches and see how it all
"works" then. I use a larger-than-average text size with an enforced
minimum font-size of 17px. The height:1200px is failing miserably in
this case.

Some elements overlap ('Related Links' is very bad), and several text
inputs overlap their corresponding labels by a character or so. The
radio buttons aren't aligned well, either. It looks sloppy, not to
mention the impaired readability.

Having the content generated by JavaScript (the forms) is far more
serious than any clickless tabs, though.

Couldn't agree more, but they're a requirement set by the client.
Believe me, I tried! ;(

Client? Are you saying that you know so little about HTML and CSS and
you are attempting to create pages for a client? For money?
