vertical align for text fields

Question

Hi all, how can I align (vertically) some text input fields with CSS? eg in the following:

<form action='<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>' method='post'>
      <p><label for='username' class=''>Username:</label>
      <input type='text' name='username' id='username' class='field' value='' tabindex='10' /></p>
      <p><label for='password' class=''>Password:</label>
      <input type='text' name='password' id='password' class='field' value='' tabindex='20' /></p>
      <p><label for='e-mail' class=''>E-mail:</label>
      <input type='text' name='e-mail' id='e-mail' class='field' value='' tabindex='35' /></p>
         <p><input type='submit' name='insert' id='insert' class='button' value='Insert!' tabindex='40' /></p>
    </form>

Is there anything I can do, aside from using tables?

thanks Patrick

I think you mean you want the text boxes aligned with each other like the following. Tip: use the Internet Explorer Developer Tools, Firefox's FireBug or Opera's Dragonfly to tweak the styling attributes in you page.

<form action='' method='post'>
<div style='clear:both'>
 <label style='float:left;width:5em;display:block' for='username' class=''>Username:</label>
 <input style='float:left;display:block' type='text' name='username' id='username' class='field' value='' tabindex='10' />
<div>
<div style='clear:both'>
 <label style='float:left;width:5em;display:block' for='password' class=''>Password:</label>
 <input style='float:left;display:block' type='text' name='password' id='password' class='field' value='' tabindex='20' />
</div>
<div style='clear:both'>
 <label style='float:left;width:5em;display:block' for='e-mail' class=''>E-mail:</label>
 <input style='float:left;display:block' type='text' name='e-mail' id='e-mail' class='field' value='' tabindex='35' />
</div>
<div style='clear:both'>
 <input style='width:5em;display:block' type='submit' name='insert' id='insert' class='button' value='Insert!' tabindex='40' />
</div>
