Thanks - I already tried this direction and it doesn't affect the
location of the label - it still appears above the input box.
I can change label placement for all the forms but in this case I only
want to change one particular field label
In the view:
echo $form->input('idcode', array('label'=>'Patient ID
Code','type'=>'text','length'=>2,'maxlength'=>2, 'div' =>array('id' =>
'left-label')) );
and this is what I have in the css
left-label { float: left; width: 100px; display: block; }
label {
display: block;
font-size: 110%;
padding-right: 20px;
}
input, textarea {
clear: both;
font-size: 140%;
font-family: "frutiger linotype", "lucida grande", "verdana", sans-
serif;
padding: 2px;
