css label width not taking effect

Question

I have a generic form, which I\'d like to style to align the labels and the input fields. For some reason when I give a width to the label selector, nothing happens:

Answer 1

Make it a block first, then float left to stop pushing the next block in to a new line.

#report-upload-form label {
                           padding-left:26px;
                           width:125px;
                           text-transform: uppercase;
                           display:block;
                           float:left
}
