How to align this text in CSS?

Question

I am having a really annoying problem in css. I am trying to align all the text for the input fields in a form (code shown below). For some reason the text that is two words long is kicking on to a second line(for example "First Name" below). Can anyone help me to get it to appear on one line because I've tried changing a lot of things and its just not working for me. Here is the code for the form (in JSF) and also I have attached the relevent CSS code. Thanks

## JSF ##
    <div class="register"><h:form id="registerForm">
    <div class="white"><h2>Add Business Account</h2></div>
    <h:messages errorClass="errorMessage" infoClass="infoMessage"
        warnClass="warnMessage"></h:messages>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td><h:outputLabel for="firstName">
                    <h:outputText class="generaltext" id="firstNameLabel" value="First Name" />
                </h:outputLabel></td>
            <td><div class="inputboxpadding"><h:inputText class="inputboxes" id="firstName"
                    value="#{registerBean.businessAccount.firstName}" size="20" required="true" 
                    requiredMessage="Required field" validatorMessage="First name must contain between 3 and 15 characters">
                    <f:validateLength minimum="3" maximum="15"/>
                    <f:ajax event="blur" render="fnamemessage" /></h:inputText>
                    </div></td>
                    <td> <div class="validationbox"><h:message id="fnamemessage" for="firstName" class="validation"/></div></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            </h:commandButton></div></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
    <h:link value="Back to login" outcome="login" />
</h:form></div>

Try specifying width for the div of the inputbox
