Newbie Question, one DIV for all?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

i am using this:

div.indentPositive
{
text-indent: 25px;
}

to indent the choices a user has when answering a question. but why won’t this work:

[code]
 <div class=”indentPositive”><input type=”radio” name=”cust1″ value=”Well Above”> Well Above
<input type=”radio” name=”cust1″ value=”Above”> Above
<input type=”radio” name=”cust1″ value=”Meets”> Meets
<input type=”radio” name=”cust1″ value=”Below”> Below
<input type=”radio” name=”cust1″ value=”Well Below”> Well Below</div>
<br>
[/code]

I have to have a div with that class for each radiobutton. otherwise the radio buttons and text all appear on one line.

thanks!

@NogDogJun 16.2005 — How about changing "text-indent" to "padding-left"? ("Text-indent" only affects the first line of a block of text.)

doesn't this basically accomplish what i originally was doing? i wanted one tag to cause all the radio buttons to indent. basically nesting the input tags within the 'indent' tag.

i don't even know if this is possible, but i don't see why not.

Success!
