[html] How can I control the width of a label tag?

The label tag doesn't have the property 'width', so how should I control the width of a label tag?

Using the inline-block is better because it doesn't force the remaining elements and/or controls to be drawn in a new line.

label {
  width:200px;
  display: inline-block;
}

label {
  width:200px;
  display: inline-block;
}

OR 

label {
  width:200px;
  display: inline-flex;
}

OR 

label {
  width:200px;
  display: inline-table;
}

Inline elements (like SPAN, LABEL, etc.) are displayed so that their height and width are calculated by the browser based on their content. If you want to control height and width you have to change those elements' blocks.

display: block; makes the element displayed as a solid block (like DIV tags) which means that there is a line break after the element (it's not inline). Although you can use display: inline-block to fix the issue of line break, this solution does not work in IE6 because IE6 doesn't recognize inline-block. If you want it to be cross-browser compatible then look at this article: http://webjazz.blogspot.com/2008/01/getting-inline-block-working-across.html

You can definitely try this way

.col-form-label{
  display: inline-block;
  width:200px;}

You can either give class name to all label so that all can have same width :

 .class-name {  width:200px;}

Example

.labelname{  width:200px;}

or you can simple give rest of label

label {  width:200px;  display: inline-block;}

Giving width to Label is not a proper way. you should take one div or table structure to manage this. but still if you don't want to change your whole code then you can use following code.

label {
  width:200px;
  float: left;
}
