Check Box / Radio Button line wrap issue - html

Question

I'm trying to prevent separation of label and check box (or radio button) when there is a line wrap. Unfortunately I'm working with some very long labels over which I have no control.
It would be awesome if there could be columns where all the buttons align, but at a minimum, no splitting up of items.
thanks in advance.

Answer 2

If you want to specifically prevent line breaks within the label element, there is CSS for that:
label.chk, label.rad {
white-space:nowrap;
}
If you want to allow line breaks but not if they would occur between the control and the beginning of the label, you may be able to adjust your code like this:
.nowrap {
white-space:nowrap;
}
<label class="ckb" for="cb-638-1">
<span class="nowrap"><input type="checkbox" name="cb-638" id="cb-638-1" value="3224" />
<i></i>Activities,</span> Attractions & Tours
</label>
(You'll also need to modify the .chk > ... and .rad > ... rules to account for the additional span.)
If you're satisfied with the labels just being columnar, just make label a block level element:
label {
display:block;
}
