Description of the need
There are a lot of places in core (and I need this for contrib) where a module is forced to add its own style sheet in order to make two form elements appear on the same line.
It would be nice if there was a class provided by core that all the modules could use, so the same display: inline-block; CSS code doesn't need to be individually defined, and repeated.
Examples of places in core that could benefit from this: * Link fields (title and URL fields) * Date fields (date and time fields) * Image styles (image dimensions) * more!
Proposed solution
Add the following to system.css:
.form-item-inline {
display: inline-block;
}
This would enable the following in any instance where two or more fields should appear on the same line:
$form['resolution']['x'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#default_value' => $resolution[0],
'#size' => 5,
'#maxlength' => 5,
'#field_suffix' => ' x ',
'#wrapper_attributes' => array('class' => array('form-item-inline')),
);
$form['resolution']['y'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#default_value' => $resolution[1],
'#size' => 5,
'#maxlength' => 5,
'#field_suffix' => ' ' . t('pixels'),
'#wrapper_attributes' => array('class' => array('form-item-inline')),
);
Alternatives that have been considered
I think we can do something similar with the existing container-inline class, but I haven't been able to figure that out. I'll look at some more examples.

Draft of feature description for Press Release (1 paragraph at most)
Backdrop now includes a utility class that contrib modules can use to display multiple input fields on the same line.

Yes indeed. We are exploring a few other more costly options, but as we are a low-resource start-up, we could save a lot of money by integrating Backdrop, CiviCRM and Ubercart for our membership...
