How to add space in-between the list items of a RadioButtonList asp.net Control?

Question

Having spent some time googling the issue and trying a few things I can't seem to find a solution for this. I have a RadioButtonList control that looks like:

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rblCheck" runat="server" RepeatDirection="horizontal">
<asp:ListItem Value="red">Red</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="green">Green</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>

Now when I look at it in a browser both the buttons are really close together. Is there any way for me to space them out? I tried margin-left css but that didn't sort it. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks.

You can do it in many ways. For instance you can set the CssClass property of RadioButtonList control. Look below.

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rblCheck" runat="server" RepeatDirection="horizontal" CssClass="spaced">
<asp:ListItem Value="red">Red</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="green">Green</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>

Then in your css declarations you can define the spaced class like this

.spaced input[type="radio"]
{
   margin-right: 50px; /* Or any other value */
}

Or if you wish to use different spacing for list items you can do it by specifying it with style attribute for each listitem this way

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rblCheck" runat="server" RepeatDirection="horizontal">
<asp:ListItem Value="red" style="margin-right:20px">Red</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="green" style="margin-right:30px">Green</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
