Vertical Align text in a Label

Question

I have been asked to vertically align the text in the labels for the fields in a form but I don\'t understand why they are not moving. I have tried putting in-line styles using

Answer 1

Use css on your label.

For example:

label {line-height:1em; margin:2px 5px 3px 5px; padding:2px 5px 3px 5px;}

Notice that the line-height will adjust the height of the line itself, whereas margin will dictate how far out other elements will be outside the lable and padding will dictate any inner space from the outside edge of the label. The margin and padding work like this (clockwise: Top Right Bottom Left), so 2px 5px 3px 5px is:

2px Top 5px Right 3px Bottom 5px Left
