Enter Text:
<span style="padding-right: 5px margin-left: 40px;">

</asp:TextBox>
</span>

This padding property just wont work..I want space between "Enter Text:" and my text box..why is it not working ? I don't wanna give spaces using nbsp

Answer 1

You're missing a semi colon after 5px

It should read

<span style="padding-right: 5px; margin-left: 40px;">
