Hi matthew,

In your code, you directly getting the fields so you try this sample with based on your width setting like this below :


<table style="width:1000px;">
<tr>
     <td style="text-align:right"><apex:outputlabel value="Name" style="width:200px;"></apex:outputlabel></td>
     <td> <span style="margin-left:20px"> </span> <apex:InputField value="{!Fioptics_Notify_Me__c.Name}"  style="width:160px" />
     </td>
               
     <td style="text-align:right"> <apex:outputlabel value="Contact Number" style="width:200px;"> </apex:outputlabe></td>
     <td><span style="margin-left:20px"></span> <apex:InputField value={!Fioptics_Notify_Me__c.Contact_Number__c}" style="width:160px"/>
     </td>  
       
</tr>
</table>


I have created here with table format.If you don't need for table just you can use Span tag to set required pixels to get space between field labels and fields.

If it resolves your problem,please mark it as solution.

Thank you

Hi

Please try adding the css for label to have the proper space between the label and the text field and try adjusting the width as per your requirement.

For example-

label {
    width:180px;
    clear:left;
    text-align:right;
    padding-right:10px;
}

input, label {
    float:left;
}
