Checkbox alignment issues within PHP/HTML form
Question
I am trying to edit a form I have used many times but now I need to add checkboxes for options and I cannot for the life of me get them to align correctly or figure out where the formatting needs to be changed. I am not an expert at PHP, HTML, or CSS I was just tasked with this being in IT so I am learning as I am going. You guys have always came to my rescue on previous projects too and I am about a days worth deep into it with no changes. Made the checkboxes red in the CSS just so I could make sure a change I made to them went.
Basically want the checkboxes to look like this:
Project needs: [] Photography [] Videography [] Resize

In your CSS, you have a label {} declaration that is affecting all labels, including the ones next to your input radios. It is making them float and that's why they mess up.
To fix it you need to add another declaration that cancels the float for the labels inside #checkboxes, like so:
#checkboxes label {
float: none;
}

You have to set the label CSS properties like that:
label {
float: left;
text-align: right;
margin-right: 15px;
padding-top: 10px;
font-size: 1.4em;
font-weight: bold;
}
And add another CSS line:
.checkboxes input { float:left; vertical-align:middle; margin-right:10px; }
