While I agree tables shouldn t be used for design layouts contrary to popular belief they do pass validation  i e  the table tag is not deprecated  The best way to align radio buttons is using the vertical align middle CSS with margins adjusted on the input elements

A lot of these answers say to use vertical-align  middle   which gets the alignment close but for me it is still off by a few pixels  The method that I used to get true 1 to 1 alignment between the labels and radio inputs is this  with vertical-align  top     x000D   x000D  label  label gt input  x000D      font-size  20px  x000D      display  inline-block  x000D      margin  0  x000D      line-height  28px  x000D      height  28px  x000D      vertical-align  top  x000D    x000D   lt h1 gt How are you  lt  h1 gt  x000D   lt fieldset gt  x000D    lt legend gt Your response  lt  legend gt  x000D    lt label for  radChoiceGood  gt  x000D     lt input type  radio  id  radChoiceGood  name  radChoices  value  Good  gt Good x000D    lt  label gt  x000D    x000D    lt label for  radChoiceExcellent  gt  x000D     lt input type  radio  id  radChoiceExcellent  name  radChoices  value  Excellent  gt Excellent x000D    lt  label gt  x000D    x000D    lt label for  radChoiceOk  gt  x000D     lt input type  radio  id  radChoiceOk  name  radChoices  value  OK  gt OK x000D    lt  label gt  x000D   lt  fieldset gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
