Why a radiobuttonlist always take a new row?

Question

This is a question about layout. I'm developing a .net page, whenever I add a radiobuttonlist right after a label, it comes down to next row. But in the code side, it still within the same row. The problem is if you browse it in IE, it comes down to the next row. I am sure the width of both label and radiobuttonlist is not oversized. What's the reason and how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Add a property to your radiobuttonlist

RepeatDirection="Horizontal"

   <asp:RadioButtonList RepeatDirection="Horizontal" 
        ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" style="display:inline">
        <asp:ListItem>asdf</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem>sdfg</asp:ListItem>
    </asp:RadioButtonList>

this will solve your problem. CHEERS

Answer 2

RadioButtonList by default renders as table. You can change set the property RepeatLayout="Flow" and it will be rendered in span.

Answer 3

You can set it's display style to be inline:

<asp:RadioButtonList
    ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" style="display:inline">
    <asp:ListItem>asdf</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem>sdfg</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
