Vertically aligning text next to a radio button

Question

This is a basic CSS question, I have a radio button with a small text label after it. I want the text to appear centered vertically but the text is always aligned with the button of the radio button in my case.

<p><input type="radio" id="opt1" name="opt1" value="1" />A label</p>

Here is a Jsfiddle:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Alan.

Answer 1

Use it inside a label. Use vertical-align to set it to various values -- bottom, baseline, middle etc.

Answer 7

You may try something like;

<p><input type="radio" id="oddsPref" name="oddsPref" value="decimal" /><span>Decimal</span></p>

and give the span a margin top like;

span{
    margin-top: 4px;
    position:absolute;
}

Answer 8

You need to align the text to the left of radio button using float:left

input[type="radio"]{
float:left;
}

You may use label too for more responsive output.

Answer 9

You could also try something like this:

input[type="radio"] {
  margin-top: -1px;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

  <label  class="child"><input id = "warm" type="radio" name="weathertype" value="warm" checked> Warm<br></label>
<label class="child1"><input id = "cold" type="radio" name="weathertype" value="cold" checked> Cold<br></label>
