If that's the case, why is it a necessary step to change it to an in-line on the class="light"?

But one reason you might do this in the class rule is in case the class might also be applied to other elements that have different defaults, to cause them all to be treated the same way.

9,199 PointsThank you. But when I remove the display: in-line from the class rule, <label> moves to a new line as if it is a block, being under <input type="checkbox"....>

231,275 PointsPerhaps it's needed to override some other rule then. Can you make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here?

231,275 PointsAs I suspected, on line 88 of "main.css" there is an explicit "
display: block" setting in the rule for all labels. Thelabel.lightrule overrides it to set the display mode back to inline.Christian Delos Reyes
