Margin not working with checkbox element

If you take a look here: http://jsfiddle.net/LvhCh/37/

You will notice that the margin CSS doesn't take any effect to the checkbox's position. Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks

There's a rule for 'input[type=checkbox]' showing a 'margin: 4px 0 0;' if you inspect the element, it's coming from bootstrap (line 5), I'm not sure if this is coming from jsfiddle or your own styles, it has probably got more specificity than your .floa-checkbox class.

i agree with Stephen O'Connor, on fiddle you can go to the "External Resources" and turn off those bootstrap js files and your styling works.
