Question

This seems like it would have a simple answer, but I can’t seem to figure it out.
I have tried to set the padding-top to a negative value, but it doesn’t do anything.
I have to do this to line up the input boxes with the text.

Answer 1

You can only add, not subtract, padding to an element.

If your moving it left or right you can use margin-left: -1px;
If your moving it up or down you can use:

position: relative;
top: -1;
