By default, our sublabels are not that far away from the associated input. Do you have a link to your form?</p> <p>Also, jlabel is mainly used to place labels inside of inputs.

Since things should be consistent, I'm just hoping to go in and swap the order for inputs and labels -- if you could tell me which file to look in, that would be very helpful, since there are many instances of "label for="fieldID".</p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p>-m </p>
