state/province collection field when set to required: * is pushed to next line causing unexpected spacing between fields

marked #424494: Default CSS label width as a duplicate of this. it has a css solution that might be useful.

THis is the first time I will be doing maintenance to Drupal web pages. How do I reduce the lines from sub-topic to the listed items. I noticed it always leave 2 lines spacing between the topic and the listed items.

Here is a patch

1) widen the label width, I use 10em instead of px unit.

2) remove the .location input {"float: left"; }. It's causing the "Current coordinate" fieldset to budding up against the right end of the Postal code field instead of moving down below it. It's also causing the line space of all the input fields to be narrower than normal.

3) Add a class attribute to the "Current coordinate" fieldset and set its with to 36em so it's uniform in width to all the other fields.

Same patch as last one but change the input field width to 25em instead of px unit. Now everything line up perfectly.

mattyoung did you edit something in your #6 comment above?
just to clarify, which patch should we look at? #6 or #7?

#7

works great. tested it with small fonts and large fonts.
rerolled to take out the extra tab and convert the tab to spaces.
screen shots attached.

Does this look fine in other themes too?
(I agree that the I7 picture does look good.)

it looks good, I tried it with the various D6 core themes and fusion, acquia marina, zero point and zen. I tried it zooming in and out (making font smaller and larger using browser View menu in firefox). I also check in Safari and Google Chrome.

Committed to D6 & HEAD branches.
Not required for D5.

Thanks for all the testing.
