As a side note, I style these BRs with "display:none".
      
I'm curious, what effect does that have on the styled page?Do you do
something like...

label {
  display : block;
}

br {
  display : none;
}
    

Hi Mike,

I don't use "display:block", most of the time I float everything and use the 
label to clear.
Depending on the width of the labels I may use "text-align:right;" to move the 
text in the label toward the text box.
I also set the widths in EMs, to avoid the text to wrap if it grows. With the fieldset width set in pixels, when these elements "grow", they simply pile up without breaking anything. 
If I kill the BRs it is just to make sure they don't create any vertical space.


  
That sounds like quite an elegant solution. I may have to try that out. 
Thanks.
