How do I align a label and a textarea?

Question

My code ends up like:

             XXXXX
             XXXXX
Description: XXXXX

I want:

             XXXXX
Description: XXXX         


        

Answer 1

Align the text area box to the label, not the label to the text area,

label {
    width: 180px;
    display: inline-block;
}

textarea{
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Label text
