Question

I have a html table column defined like this:

<td>        
<form:checkbox cssClass="check" path="somePath" id="somePath" onclick="someFn(this);" />
<form:label path="somePath" for="somePath"><spring:message code="label.someLabel" /></form:label>
<div>11</div>
</td>

So there is a checkbox, a label and a div element with text of ’11’.
Now the 11 shows up below the checkbox. But i want it to show to the right of the label.

Why is this happening?

Answer 1

div is a block element, consider using span (or other inline element) or styling div as display:inline;
