Form Element Positions

How do I change the position of form elements in CSS? For instance, what if I want to add a username and password input form and have it on the top right corner of the page? Also, is it possible to adjust spacing between two text input boxes?

It's going to depend on your structure, but to put a login form in the top right, you'll likely have some sort of float: right; on the form element. A lot depends if it's going to be in a menu bar, or it's own element, etc.

And yes, you can adjust margin and padding on input elements. Padding will make the input element larger, and margin will create the space between it and the next closest item.
