Right-aligned Form Labels

done. since #2.

tables debate was after. so if you did saw tables debate how come you’ve missed the post before?

you’ve started a thread! you don’t

You are assuming I’m seeing everyone’s responses…
? why started then? i’m afraid this has “condescending and arrogant” written all over it.

Let me stress this again. Please play nice people!

the fastest way to complete your goal w/o having to spend all day reading an entire article somebody was kind enough to spend days probably writing it, is to pay someone to do it :wink:

hope this helps you in the future also :wink:

and to answer your question:

  • label means text, so you need to look for text related css declarations
  • text-align css declaration i think it’s pretty clear what it does

so

text-align: right

it is. you’re welcome :slight_smile:

Semantically that makes no sense since they already have meanings on them (labels and inputs) and it’s generally a total waste of code.

I disagree.

When displaying rows of data retrieved from a database table it can be easily argued you are displaying tabular data whether some of the columns in each row are textboxes containing default values from a database table, checkboxes to edit or delete rows etc etc or just plain uneditable text data from the database.

Imho it is totally valid to use tables to layout the data retrieved from the database table. But you can also use non table layouts as well.

In these situation I will almost certainly use a html table.

In many cases it’s not hard to justify describing the form contents as tabular data. In those cases it’s totally justifiable using html tables to set up your form and align the labels and input elements as you like.

You implied it with

(You are assuming I’m seeing everyone’s responses…)

I understand the concept and use of ignore lists and if you are using yours that is fine but I wouldn’t publicise the fact I am using it because from here on no-one will know for certain whether they are on yours or not (unless you actually reply to them) and so it could discourage people from trying to assist you if they thought you might not see their responses.

anyway, just some thoughts.
