    <p>I am trying to align labels in a form to go below a text input box. I have adapted my CSS from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3463621/css-label-text-right-below-input-element">here</a>.</p> <p>It displays perfectly in IE 9, but I am having trouble with firefox, chrome and others.</p> <p>Here's what it looks like in IE:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/nMTxf.jpg" alt="IE"></p> <p>And this is what it looks like in firefox:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oQOEw.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>It looks much worst in chrome, but I would like to get it working in firefox first.</p> <p>The main concerns are:</p> <ul> <li>The text input should be centered above the labels.</li> <li>The colons should be vertically aligned with the text inputs.</li> <li>The drop-down should be vertically aligned with the text inputs.</li> </ul> <p>Here's my markup:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="" method="post"&gt; &lt;label for="time"&gt;Time settings&lt;/label&gt; &lt;div class="description"&gt; Description goes here &lt;/div&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;label for="time"&gt;Hour&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="time" name="time" maxlength="2" size="2"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;label for="time-minute"&gt;Minute&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="time-minute" name="time-minute" maxlength="2" size="2"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;label for="time-seconds"&gt;Seconds&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="time-seconds" name="time-seconds" maxlength="2" size="2"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt; &lt;select id="time-ampm" name="time-ampm"&gt; &lt;option value="am"&gt;AM&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="pm"&gt;PM&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here is the CSS style:</p> <pre><code>&lt;style&gt; span{ display: inline-block; } span input { display: block; position: relative; top: -3em; text-align: center; } span label { display: block; padding-top: 1.5em; text-align: center; } &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am also using the HTML 4.01 strict doctype.</p> <p>Here's the form live in jsfiddle: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/VuShK/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/VuShK/</a></p> <p>Can anyone give me some pointers as to how to fix this?</p> <p><strong><em>Solution</em></strong>: Thanks to everyone who replied.</p> <p>Here is my final solution with the text inputs being centered. Thanks to AVD for his help.</p> <pre><code>&lt;style&gt; span{ display: inline-block; position: relative; top: -1em; text-align:center; } span select input { display: block; position: relative; top: -3em; } span label { display: block; position: relative; top:2.7em; text-align: center; } &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre>

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.

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