Question

Here is the resulting layout, the text is wrapping under the label “Dates”.

Here is the desired result:

Here is the html layout:

<div class="alternate">
    <span class="label">Dates:</span>
    <span id="lblDates">
        Created: <u>May 31, 2011</u>, Quote: <u>Sep 1, 2011</u>, Completed: <u>May 23, 2012</u>, Invoice: <u>May 1, 2011</u>, Finalized: <u>May 31, 2011</u>
    </span>
    <br style="clear:both;">
</div>

The relevant CSS:

    fieldset .label {
        text-align: right;
        float: left;
        width: 150px;
        clear: left;
        margin-right: 15px;
        color: black;
        font-weight: bold;
}

If I put a predefined height to the label, then it works, but I don’t want a predefined height on the label because sometimes I have only one line of content, how can I achieve this?

Thanks!

    display: block;
}
