 * This is probably something simple but i can’t figure it out.
 * I’ve got a form field label and it’s got a lot of what i think is padding on 
   the left.
 * I’ve taken a screen shot in firebug to show what i mean.

 * The problem is when i hover over the left on the left it selects the field on
   the right because of the overlap.
 * How can i remove that padding on the left?
 * Thanks

 * I’ve tried changing the width and giving padding to the right but that doesn’t
   get rid of the overlap on the left.
 * Any ideas?

 * Remove `left: -33px;` from:
 *     ```
       #li-2-4 {
           float: right;
           left: -33px;
           position: relative;
           top: -33px;
       }
       ```
   
 * in style.css

 * Thanks but it still overlaps and I did that to get it closer to the field on 
   left so there wasn’t a big gap in the middle.

 * OK – try adding:
 *     ```
       #cforms2form label span {
           width: auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * to style.css

 * Thanks, at the moment it doesn’t overlap but that’s because it’s so far away.
   Is there no what of getting it closer?
