Anyone run into this before? I'm not css problem savvy enough to know what to Google for. I ended up just putting br's with a "clear: both" class on them in between rows, but it's not as clean as it was before.

In order to force a label to a new line, I put a class on it with "clear: left", but that, for some reason, causes the words to be smushed to the left.

Without actual HTML+CSS it's hard to tell, but it *looks* like the label size is causing the label text to wrap. There are two general solutions:
ReplyDelete1) Quick and Dirty: use a non-breaking space instead of a regular space.
2) More subtle: Start monkeying with the width and display properties of the label to get the right effect (temporarily setting a border and background can help with debugging this), and *maybe* try using the IE-specific 'word-wrap' if all else fails.
It doesn't seem to be the label size, even IE shows the label as being much wider than the text, but I'll try your solutions.. thanks!
