How To Change Label Width In Html Example

Как изменить размер label html

The label tag doesn’t have the property ‘width’, so how should I control the width of a label tag?

asked May 12, 2010 at 16:04

The width attribute is deprecated, and CSS should always be used to control these kinds of presentational styles.

Using the inline-block is better because it doesn’t force the remaining elements and/or controls to be drawn in a new line.

Inline elements (like SPAN, LABEL, etc.) are displayed so that their height and width are calculated by the browser based on their content. If you want to control height and width you have to change those elements’ blocks.

display: block; makes the element displayed as a solid block (like DIV tags) which means that there is a line break after the element (it’s not inline). Although you can use display: inline-block to fix the issue of line break, this solution does not work in IE6 because IE6 doesn’t recognize inline-block. If you want it to be cross-browser compatible then look at this article: http://webjazz.blogspot.com/2008/01/getting-inline-block-working-across.html

Giving width to Label is not a proper way. you should take one div or table structure to manage this. but still if you don’t want to change your whole code then you can use following code.

You can either give class name to all label so that all can have same width :

or you can simple give rest of label

The element specifies a text label for the tag. Since it is an inline element, using the width property alone won’t have any effect. But there are some methods to add width to the tag.

In this tutorial, we’ll demonstrate some examples of controlling the width of the tag by using the display property set to “block” in combination with the width property.

  • Usa a element.
  • Place the tag with the for attribute and the tag with the id , name , and type attributes inside the element.
form> label for="name">Enter your name: label> input id="name" name="name" type="text" /> form>
label < display: block; width: 130px; >

Example of adding width to the tag using the «block» value of the display property:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> label < display: block; width: 130px; > style> head> body> form> label for="name">Enter your name: label> input id="name" name="name" type="text" /> form> body> html>

Let’s see another example where we use the display property set to “inline-block”.

When I render this, what happens is that there’s a lot of white space to the right side of the label ‘Bob Smith’. The user must click directly on ‘Bob Smith’ to toggle the checkbox, if he clicks to the right at the empty space, nothing happens.

I’ve tried: width: 100% on the label but it didn’t have any effect.

Will give it a width of 100% unless otherwise specified.

Making the label a block level element with css does cause some validation errors I do think, as block level elements should not be placed in

tags. Consider an alternative for the

tag if you implement this, a will do just fine here.
