[IxDA Discuss] To Align or not and how?

[Loren Baxter]

Manish,

For your specific problem, I've found that wrapping the left label
column above a certain width still flows without separating the label
& field too much.

Your form would end up as:

Title
First name:
Last name:
Occupation:

Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit 
amet lorem ipsum?:

Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit
amet lorem ipsum ?:

Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit
amet lorem ipsum dolor
sit?:

However, I think this rule is more of an "exception" rule than a
good way to phrase 100  questions.  I would seriously consider
placing the labels above the fields.   Users will not be surprised by
a scrollbar on such a long form, and it will be much more readable.
