ASPX page experiencing formatting challenges

Question: I am trying to setup a display using an ASPX page

 State : <dropdown>
   zip : <textbutton>

I have noticed that the ":" for both State & City is not consistent in all lines. Currently it looks like this.

 State : <dropdown>
 zip : <textbutton>

I believe there might be some mistake on my end, but I can't quite figure it out yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is the code I have written so far,

<div style="text-align:center" >
<asp:Label runat="server" id="StateCategory" Text ="State:" CssClass="LabelLeftAligned" />
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="StateDDown" DataTextField="Name" AppendDataBoundItems="true"></asp:DropDownList>
</div>

<div style="text-align:center" >
<asp:Label runat="server" id="lblzipCode" Text ="Zip:" CssClass="LabelLeftAligned" />
<asp:TextBox ID="txtboxZipcode" runat="server" MaxLength="5" />
</div>

The LabelLeftAligned class mentioned above is defined in the stylesheet as shown below.

.LabelLeftAligned {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    color: black;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: left;
}

Answer №1

Transform the label into a block-level element, specify its width, and align it to the right.

Here's an example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
    <title>Untitled</title>
<style> 
  .LabelRightAligned { 
    display:block; 
    width: 150px; 
    text-align:right; 
    float:left; 
  } 


  .ddl { 
    float:left;
    margin-left:10px; 
  } 
</style>

</head>

<body>

<div style="text-align:center;clear:both;">  
    <span class="LabelRightAligned">Category:</span>
    <select class="ddl">
        <option value="volvo" />
        <option value="chevy" />
    </select>
</div> 
<div style="text-align:center;clear:both;">  
    <span class="LabelRightAligned">Code:</span>
    <input type="text" name="code" id="code" value="12345" class="ddl" />
</div> 

</body>
</html>

To achieve the desired layout, you can utilize table formatting in CSS. By using layout for rows and cells, along with text-align to control horizontal alignment.

For a live demonstration, please click on this link.

<style type="text/css"> 
.table {  
    display:table;  
    border-collapse:collapse;  
}       
.table-row {  
    display:table-row;  
}       
.left-col {
    text-align:right; 
}    
.right-col {
    text-align:left; 
}    
.left-col, .right-col {  
    display:table-cell;  
}         
</style> 

<div class="table">  
    <div class="table-row">  
        <div class="left-col">  
            Foobar:  
        </div>  
        <div class="right-col">  
            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>  
        </div>  
    </div> 
    <div class="table-row">
        <div class="left-col">  
            Bar:  
        </div>  
        <div class="right-col">  
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtTestB" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> 
        </div>          
    </div>
</div>

Answer №3

Let's organize the data in a table, which seems like a feasible solution given the limited information I have

<table>
 <tr>
  <td>State</td>
  <td>:</td>
  <td><dropdown></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Zip</td>
  <td>:</td>
  <td><textbutton></td>
 </tr>
</table>

OR

Alternatively, we can group the state and zip within a div element and align it to the left with a specified width

<div class="floatLeft">State</div> : <dropdown>
<div class="floatLeft">Zip</div> : <textbutton>

<style>
 .floatLeft {float: left; width: 300px; }
</style>
