asp.net labels and asp.net textboxes are not lining up correctly?
- by Xaisoft
My Registration page currently looks like the following:
The current styling I have for the above is image is:
<style type="text/css">
#contactinfo label
{
float: left;
width: 10em;
margin-right: 0.5em;
text-align: right;
font-size: 14px;
}
#contactinfo p
{
padding: 5px;
}
#contactinfo input[type="text"], input[type="password"]
{
height: 1.5em;
}
#contactinfo select
{
padding: 0.25em;
}
#contactinfo input[type="text"]:focus, input[type="password"]:focus
{
background-color: #FFFFE0;
}
#contactinfo .update
{
margin-left: 12.5em;
}
#contactinfo .error
{
background-color: transparent;
}
#contactinfo .longtextbox
{
width: 20em;
}
#contactinfo .shorttextbox
{
width: 5em;
}
</style>
and the markup is
<div id="contactinfo">
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="txtEmail">Email
</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail"
runat="server"
CssClass="longtextbox" />
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="txtFirstName">First Name
</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtFirstName"
runat="server"
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtFirstName"
Text="First Name is required."
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation"
CssClass="error">
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="txtLastName">Last Name
</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtLastName"
runat="server"
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtLastName"
Text="Last Name is required."
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation"
CssClass="error">
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="txtBusinessName">Business Name
</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtBusinessName"
runat="server"
CssClass="longtextbox"
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtBusinessName"
Text="Business Name is required."
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation"
CssClass="error">
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="txtPhone">Phone
</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtPhone"
runat="server"
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation" />
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="txtAddress">Address
</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtAddress"
runat="server"
CssClass="longtextbox"
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtAddress"
Text="Address is required."
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation"
CssClass="error"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="txtCity">City
</asp:Label><asp:TextBox ID="txtCity"
runat="server"
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation" />
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator4"
runat="server"
ControlToValidate="txtCity"
Text="City is required."
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation"
CssClass="error">
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="ddlState">State
</asp:Label>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlState"
runat="server"
DataSourceID="dsStates"
DataTextField="Name"
DataValueField="Id">
</asp:DropDownList>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label runat="server"
AssociatedControlID="txtZipcode">Zipcode</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtZipCode" runat="server" CssClass="shorttextbox"
ValidationGroup="AccountValidation" />
</p>
</div>
As you can see from above, I have every label field pair wrapped in a p tag so it breaks to the next line, but I am not sure if I need to do this. I want to get city, state, and zip all on the same line, but as soon as I move all the labels and inputs for city,state,zip into one p tag, it looks like the following and I don't know how to fix it.
