Achieving alignment of the label with the top of the div

I'd like to align a label with a div vertically, but I'm having trouble. Take a look at the picture below to see what's happening. The corrections in blue show what I want it to look like. I've included the relevant HTML and CSS below, stripped down to focus on the issue.

Any ideas on how to move that label to the top of the type options? Thanks!

Answer №1

This can be modified:

div.MainContent div.BasicInformationField label {
        text-align: center;
    }

To the following:

div.MainContent div.BasicInformationField label {
        text-align: left;
    }

Answer №2

After experimenting with floating elements left, adjusting margins, and clearing labels, I finally got everything to align properly. Thank you for the helpful conversation and resources.
