Hi Ashley.
There are lots of different ways to accomplish what you seek.
My thinking would be to use <table><,/table> to get the formatting the way you want it (I like simple solutions best):
.....
<table>
<tr><td>Colors</td><td><form><input type="checkbox" name="color1" value="Red"> Red</form></td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td><form><input type="checkbox" name="color2" value="Green"> Green</form></td></tr><tr><td> </td><td><form><input type="checkbox" name="color3" value="Blue"> Blue</form></td></tr></table>
.....
You can tweak the cell width, padding, borders, etc... as needed.
This is not the only way to do it, and exactly how you achieve your formatting will depend on what other requirements you have, meaning, are you ok with 3 forms and not just 1?
For other methods, you would have to provide the requirements of the assignment.

You are welcome. If you want to use a single form, you can move the ... tags outside of the ... tags. Going from 3 .. pairs to one. That's the beauty of html, it will still work. Other than that you will have to try css and/or java attributes and counting pixels in order to align things. Good luck.11/15/19

@#$%& editor! It cut out the "form" tags I wrote in. Move the form tags outside of the table tags, from 3 pairs down to one if you only want a single form.11/15/19

Wow, that works!!! And what if we want a border just around the form, not in like when we add the border attribute within the table tag so it draws borders all around data?11/16/19
Suzanne O.
That would have to be done in css, not html. You would define the table, and the table and td's would have individual border styles set. You would have to tweak it to see if you could get it to not look boxy11/16/19

Can we do it like this using Inline style sheet? But I didn't get the border11/16/19
