I'll throw an extra trick into the mix. I just had a design issue myself, similar to this, as I was working on something that had text boxes lined up to each other, just like you Greg.
What I wanted to do was create some padding between the 1st and 2nd text box.
So here is what I did. The 2nd text box was originally named "Account Number". I renamed it to " Account Number". This moved the "Account Number" to start 8 spaces over to the right. In case it is hard to see on this post, it is " " + 7 spaces + "Account Number".
Why does this work?
Well, we do an auto left and right trim to remove space, so if you put in " Account Number" Method saves it as "Account Number". The " " is just regular old HTML for "non breaking space", which is the equivelant of a space. This tricks Method to not trimming the text, and gives the padding I wanted.
I would have posted this sooner, I just stumbled upon this solution myself today. Hopefully that helps,
