The basic example below shows almost what I am looking for. The labels are directly above the text boxes, and each label and text box group are laid out side by side. I am just wondering how to center the entire texbox_group div on the page.
Here's my html:
<div id="textbox_group">
<div>
<label>Label 1</label>
<input type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label>Label 2</label>
<input type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label>Label 3</label>
<input type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label>Label 4</label>
<input type="text" />
</div>
</div>
and my css:
#textbox_group { clear: both; }
#textbox_group div { float: left; margin: 5px; }
#textbox_group div label { display: block; }
#textbox_group div input { width: 50px; }
