You mean like this?

This example creates a table that is used to align two INPUT controls
and their
associated labels. Each label is associated explicitly with one of the
INPUT elements.
<FORM action="..." method="post">
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD><LABEL for="fname">First Name</LABEL>
<TD><INPUT type="text" name="firstname" id="fname">
<TR>
<TD><LABEL for="lname">Last Name</LABEL>
<TD><INPUT type="text" name="lastname" id="lname">
</TABLE>
<FORM>
