Survey Form - nothing is working!

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi, I’ve been trying my best to match the layout of the Survey Form project, but I don’t know what else to do. I’ve been constantly searching for solutions to my problem, but none of them seem to work.

My problem is: I feel good about my layout, and positioning, along with the container and background. Where I am getting stuck is trying to get all the form information aligned properly just like the sample page FreeCodeCamp has for the Survey Form. How the text is perfectly aligned on the left with a small gap in the middle and the fill-out stuff to the right of it. But nothing! I’ve used ‘inline-block’ along with several elements, and still no luck. At this point, I’m convinced I didn’t use the correct Classes for the divs.

Please send help!

Link to the challenge:

Since you have provided the codepen link, it was not necessary to provide the full code here.

You can look at this example so you would get an idea as you desire,

Hi @Sujith3021,

Its all practice really. Here is a site with really good explanations on common web development practices.

It has everything from flex box to typography. I recommend the box model tutorial.

Thank you for your response! I am altering my whole page now since it seems like you have used ‘display: flex’ instead of inline-block. After I attempted it, the page just didn’t respond accordingly everything wasn’t inline and I couldn’t find the correct selector and property to make it work. After hours of frustration, I decided to scrap my project and start over. Meanwhile, I am taking some of your recommendations and hopefully I can implement the styles on section at a time.

current progress:

Awesome, I probably should refresh my mind with some good practice on positioning and box model. Appreciate the recommendation - cheers!
