Align text with checkbox

[TheFilmGod]

How does one align text with a checkbox? I'm very experienced with Css and I could float the checkbox/text and get it to align perfectly in FF. But then I check it in IE and it's all over the place. Do I need to use IE only css stylesheets, or is there a solid, proven way to align the two together (cross-browser)?

Would be great to see what your code is, but if this is for a form or something non-layout, why not just use a table?

 

And there are ways to use the two together, but it's a bit ugly (ie: using !important)

Tables wouldn't be worth it - poor semantics and it would just bloat my code. I might as well use an IE override css.

 

Is there some other way? Maybe a container div or something?

You could do something like:

<div id="checkcontainer">
<div id="checks">checkboxes</div>
<div id="text">check text</div>
</div>

Align the check boxes to the left, the text to the right, etc.

Wouldn't make sense for browsers without CSS support.. although they could still relate the items to eachother if  you use labels properly.. but still, I wouldn't do that.

 

Exactly what are you after?

text [x]
some other text [x]

But then like

text            [x]
some other text [x]

?
