    <p>You're going to have to resolve yourself to using fixed widths for your labels (if going the pure CSS route.) Below is the minimum to get what you're trying to accomplish (pulled from <a href="http://htmldog.com/articles/formlayout/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">HTML Dog</a>.)</p> <p>CSS:</p> <pre><code>label { clear: left; float: left; width: 7em; /* or whatever length suits */ text-align: right; } </code></pre> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;label&gt;Item 1&lt;/label&gt;&lt;input /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;label&gt;Item 2&lt;/label&gt;&lt;input /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;label&gt;Item 3&lt;/label&gt;&lt;textarea&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>If you absolute don't want fixed widths, then you can use this javascript (with jQuery) and remove the fixed width from the above CSS. It is worth noting that if you get people with <em>javascript turned off, this will look awful</em>!</p> <pre><code>var largestWidth = 0; $('label').each( function() { if ($(this).width() &gt; largestWidth) { largestWidth = $(this).width(); } }); $('label').each( function() { $(this).width(largestWidth); }); </code></pre> <p>I've thrown up a live example on <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/fRBKE/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JSFiddle</a>.</p> <p>Given the use case that you've cited, I actually think tables is the better way to go, but then I have a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/591539/forms-can-they-be-done-without-tables/591763#591763">differing opinion on the table/div form debate than most</a>.</p>

    1. COthanks for the input, the reason no width can be set is due to a multi lanauage website. And citing that these seems to be no css solution I will mark yours as the answer as its the closest I can see us getting! thanks

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
