Bootstrap centre horizontal form

I'm trying to centre a horizontal form in a hero unit, by setting text-align:center; and then display:block-inline;

See jsfiddle for a demo http://jsfiddle.net/bVJZ2/

But this hasn't quite worked in that the checkbox and submit button are not correctly aligned any more. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Well This is how you can implement a Hero-unit with form centered in middle .

JSFiddle with centered form http://jsfiddle.net/shail/YmmVS/

First the css :

.hero-unit {
padding:50px 50px 50px 50px;
    }
.form-horizontal .control-label {
    width: 61px;
    }
.form-horizontal .controls {
margin-left: 80px;
    }
  /* Landscape phones and down */
  @media (max-width: 480px) { 

   .hero-unit{
        margin-left:-20px;
        margin-right:-20px;
      }
   .form-horizontal .controls {
        margin-left: 0;
      }
  }

form The Html Part :

<div class="container">
<div class="hero-unit">
    <div class="row-fluid">
        <div class="offset4 span4">
            <legend>Sign in to WebApp</legend>
            <form class="form-horizontal">
                <div class="control-group">
                    <label class="control-label" for="inputEmail">Email</label>
                    <div class="controls">
                        <input type="text" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email">
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="control-group">
                    <label class="control-label" for="inputPassword">Password</label>
                    <div class="controls">
                        <input type="password" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password">
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="control-group">
                    <div class="controls">
                        <label class="checkbox">
                            <input type="checkbox">Remember me</label>
                        <button type="submit" class="btn">Sign in</button>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </form>
        </div>
     </div>
   </div>
 </div>

There are some problems that doesn't allow you to center the checkbox.

  1. <div class="controls"> has a margin-left. You shouldn't put your checkbox inside a that div.

  2. The input[checkbox] has a float: left. You should remove that float with:

    .radio input[type="radio"], .checkbox input[type="checkbox"] {
    float: none;
}
  3. The checkbox is bad aligned. You should add vertical-align: top to the last selector.

To sum up:

HTML: 

<div class="control-group">
   <label class="checkbox">
       <input type="checkbox"> Remember me
   </label>
   <button type="submit" class="btn">Sign in</button>
</div>

CSS:

.radio input[type="radio"], .checkbox input[type="checkbox"] {
    float: none;
    vertical-align: top;
}

You can see the result here: http://jsfiddle.net/GW8zk/
