Default Place Radio Button Label Above Using CSS - 01-20-2009 , 08:34 PM






I need the ability to place the labels for radio buttons above the
selections, and not to the left or the right. Is there a way to use
CSS (flow based) and not tables that would give this effect?

Thanks!

We could tell you (even twice), but then we would have to
spend too much time in explaining why it is a _bad_ idea.

Read a primer on the basics of elements of web page usability. Really.

Absolutely agreed. I have had to figure out many paper forms where the
label was above the radio, and other text in the same area, making it
difficult to tell where to fill in information. Of course, most of the
really bad forms I've had to fill out where Government forms, no
surprise there.
