Because of the multiple classes, tags, and ability to add extra classes or attributes to fields and their wrappers almost any layout issue, including yours, is solvable, and should be, in pure CSS. If you ever find yourself using modern HTML for layout instead of semantics--i.e., <p></p> represents a paragraph of text which happens to map to a block on the screen but all that matters is it conceptually a piece of text separate from the surrounding text--you are making a mistake.

I'm not saying it's always easy, and IE v the World makes it much harder still, but it is the right way to do it. Content in tags, layout in CSS.
