Subject: Re: [fw-general] Zend Form Checkbox element and label on the same line
To: Amr Mostafa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Thanks Amr, it didn't occur to me to use CSS. I've been playing about
with your code below and have managed to get the checkbox to appear to
the right of the label, or the checkbox to appear to the left of the
description, but can't seem to get the checkbox to appear to the left
of the label yet.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, a little more fiddling
and it'll be perfect :)
Thanks,
Al.
