I have a set of radio buttons and labels. The radio buttons precede the labels. I would like to center the set of them within a field set. I tried putting them in a div with display set to inline-block. Almost works, but one label gets bumped down to the next line.
My understanding was that giving a div display: inline-block would make it shrink-to-fit, but I'm getting the unexpected behavior you can see here (code below):

Is my only hope to manually set margins and stuff? Is there a way to understand why the div is shrinking just a bit too much??
Update... If I remove the right margin from the label (which is there to add space before the next radio button) then it fits. If, instead, I add margin-left to the button, I still have the problem.
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>Test</legend>
<div>
<input class="radio-input" type="radio" name="test" value="yes" />
<label class="radio-label">Yes</label>
<input class="radio-input" type="radio" name="test" value="yes" />
<label class="radio-label">No</label>
<input class="radio-input" type="radio" name="test" value="yes" />
<label class="radio-label">Maybe</label>
</div>
</fieldset>
.radio-label {
float: left;
margin-right: 3%;
}
.radio-input {
float: left;
}
fieldset {
text-align: center;
}
div {
display: inline-block;
margin: auto;
border: 1px solid black;
}
Try this remove float left
on your .radio-label
and .radio-input
and now define
display inline-block
As like this
.radio-label {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
margin-right: 3%;
}
.radio-input {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
