Just a few minutes ago a friend of mine asked me how can he apply width attribute to a label (he’s trying to format a form without using tables). Well the idea is very simple. You need to use the label element, but because the label is an inline element, it cannot have width value; in order to do this you need to put display:block or float:left.

<!--
label, input 
{
    margin-top: 5px;
    float: left;
}

label 
{
   display: block;
   width: 100px;
}
-->
