I need help styling a search (data filter) form. What I want is to have label text right aligned, and text boxes to the right of the labels. But I want the from / to labels & text for the begin & end date all on the same line, including the search button. How can I accomplish this affect?
See attached sample wireframe,
I am using the form style from http://gawibowo.com/theme/adminique/forms.html . I'm able to make the 'Select Items' label / input & 'From' label / input display correctly, it is displaying the 'To' label / input and button on same line as 'From' that I'm having trouble with.
Current html
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="http://localhost:3000/reports/report/realtime-transaction-activity" class="filter" data-remote="true" id="realtime_transaction_activity_form" method="post"><div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline"><input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="?"><input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="GTpmMlHkQSkoRdBgjcVYQGJOyf6UX9brW5yzVY/MrHY="></div>
<div class="group">

form dl.inline dt {

form dl.inline dt label {

Try floating the other elements that are inside the dd.
form dd input, form dd label, form dd button {float:left; }
