asp.net - Asp:CheckBox checkbox and text are not on the same line

Question

I can't seem to figure out how to get the checkbox and associated text to appear on one line. The text is very short so it doesn't seem to be a width issue. I tried setting display:inline on the control but when it's rendered, a span is added around the input and label and that has the display:inline. If I manually add the display:inline, using the resources view in Chrome, to the resulting label than it's fine. The problem is I don't know how to get the control to do this.

Thanks.

You want to have display:inline applied to the <label> element that ASP generates to hold the label text, not the control itself. So, for example:

<style type="text/css">
    label { display: inline-block; }
</style>
<asp:CheckBox Text="This text appears on same line as checkbox" runat="server" />
