CSS - Clearing Form Labels And Fields
Hi,
I am having trouble clearing labels and fields. I have set up my labels to float left and my fields to float left. When i have more than one set of label and field, they do not align underneath each other. Please could someone suggest the best way to clear the label and field so the next row will display correctly? Thanks Similar TutorialsHi I'm trying to get the labels of my form to appear above their input boxes and for the input boxes themselves to be side by side (basically a horizontal login form) I've used the label tag in my form after doing some research which looks like: Code: <form> <label for="email">Email</label> <br /> <input type="text" name="email" /> <label for="password">Password</label> <br /> <input type="text" name="password" /> </form> In my CSS I have a label property defined as: Code: label {
display:inline-block;
}
But the outcome is this: Could anyone please shed some light on my problem? Thank you Hi, I'm having difficult with learning forms and how to style them. I've gotten mostly what I am looking for just now I don't seem to be able to make adjustments: Adjusting the size of the text-window, wrapping the frame boarder around the fieldset. Those are my main issues, any help would be greatly appreciated. Hy- A pretty simple(?) question (I guess) Is there a way to format the look of radio buttons and checkboxes with css? e.g. to make it "fit" with this textfield style: style="font-size: 11px; font-family: Verdana; border-width: 1px; border-color: black;" regards Sheriff I've seen some text inputs with pretty snazzy styling, such as borders with rounded corners. How is this done? to start: this is my first post and i hope this forum is as helpful as the others i am a member of.. i have a basic text game i am working on and code is already layed out for me.. but i am looking to give the game my own style.. i have created the look i want in photoshop and sliced and sent over to dreamweaver but i am a noob and dont know how to get the things functioning.. at all pretty much everything can be set as the background except for the form but i want the blue gradient in input fields and images as buttons. i would like to have big font size in boxes and also have white letters.. also i want the whole centered x and y when viewer goes to page like i said: im a noob and just getting back into the web dev stuff and am pretty rusty so if anyone can help me out i will be SOOOOOO thankful!!! here is the link to the jpg.. let me know if you need the psd but i have 2 or 3 dif fonts in it that are not common fonts Code: http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad353/zac_exuro/Untitled-1-2.jpg is there a way to disable the 3d shadowing effect on form fields? so i can just have a border. Hi, I'm creating a form and for some reason I can't get rid of the space between each line of the fields. I've tried making the margin and padding 0 but no joy. Is it me or just browser bugs? Help appreciated PHP Addict Code: <div style="width: 350px; float: right;"> <div style="width: 100px; text-align: right; float: left; background: yellow;"> <label for="">field Name:</label> </div> <div style="width: 100px; float: left; background: orange;"> <input name="Address1" type="text" id="Ad1" value="$Address1" size="15" maxlength="25"> </div> <div style="width: 120px; float: right; background: blue;"> Error Message </div> <br /> <div style="width: 100px; text-align: right; float: left; clear: left; background: yellow;"> <label for="">field Name:</label> </div> <div style="width: 100px; float: left; background: orange;"> <input name="Address1" type="text" id="Ad1" value="$Address1" size="15" maxlength="25"> </div> <div style="width: 120px; float: right; background: blue;"> Error Message </div> <br /> <div style="width: 100px; text-align: right; float: left; clear: left; background: yellow;"> <label for="">field Name:</label> </div> <div style="width: 100px; float: left; background: orange;"> <input name="Address1" type="text" id="Ad1" value="$Address1" size="15" maxlength="25"> </div> <div style="width: 120px; float: right; background: blue;"> Error Message </div> </div> I'm stumped. Cannot find a solution here. Is it possible to vertically align a form field inside a DIV in IE6? It works fine everywhere else. (Big shock...) Thank you for any help you can give. I've resolved to using tables temporarily. Ughhh. Here's a snippet of the CSS: Code: body { background-color: #e2e4d7; background-image: url("../images/fade_top.gif"); background-repeat: repeat-x; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#wrapper { margin: 12px auto; width: 796px }
#top { background-image: url("../images/main_top.gif"); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 796px; height: 8px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: bottom }
#main { background-image: url("../images/main_back.gif"); background-repeat: repeat-y; width: 796px; overflow: hidden }
#header { background-image: url("../images/header_back.gif"); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 796px; height: 262px }
#nav { margin-right: 8px; margin-left: 8px; width: 780px; height: 60px }
#nav ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 780px }
#nav li { float: left }
#nav li a { display: block; padding-top: 60px; height: 0; overflow: hidden }
...
#banner { margin-right: 8px; margin-left: 8px; width: 780px; height: 202px; overflow: hidden }
#bannerLeft { background-image: url("../images/banner_logo.gif"); background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; width: 316px; height: 202px; float: left }
#searchBox { line-height: 53px; text-align: center; position: absolute; top: 149px; width: 316px; height: 53px }
#searchField { margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 196px; vertical-align: middle }
#searchButton { margin: 0 0 0 6px; padding: 0; vertical-align: middle }
#bannerRight { background-image: url("../images/banner_photo.jpg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 464px; height: 202px; float: right }
...
And here's a snippet of the HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html lang="en" xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title></title> <link href="css/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all"/> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="top"></div> <div id="main"> <div id="header"> <div id="nav"> <ul> ... </ul> </div> <div id="banner"> <div id="bannerLeft"> <form action="http://www.google.com/search" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8"> <input type="hidden" name="oe" value="UTF-8"> <input type="hidden" name="domains" value="http://www.whmca.com"> <input type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value="http://www.whmca.com"> <div id="searchBox"> <input id="searchField" type="text" name="q"><input id="searchButton" name="btnG" type="image" src="images/search_bt.gif" alt="Search" height="14" width="42"> </div> </form> </div> <div id="bannerRight"></div> </div> </div> <div id="body"> ... </div> </div> <div id="bottom"></div> <div id="copyright"> ... </div> </div> </body> </html> Is it possible to differentiate between various types of input field, e.g. assign a width to text inputs but leave buttons to find their own width based on content. I know I can do this by assigning certain elements a class but I'd prefer not to have to do this. Thanks Greetings! Maybe it's a newbie question, but I can't find out why form fields don't get vertically centered when rule height: 4em; line-height: 4em; is applied on them, they are inline elements, aren't they? In FF applied correctly, not so in IE. Please take a look at: http://147.32.113.143/biotest/Sourc..._LookUpTerm.php I have a form with several input and option fields, can I apply a separate background color to an individual input field possibly by name or id ? Code:
#form1
INPUT, OPTION {
background-color: #999999;
}
is this possible with CSS? So when the carat is focused on a form field the field is highlighed maybe by changing the border color... or background color. very much like the macromedia support site. http://www.macromedia.com/support/ I have a feeling though... it might involve a bit of javascript? Cheers in advance Rob Is it possible to expand a table with DIV's using CSS hidden/visible? If I select an option from a select field in one row, to have a hidden select field appear in the row directly below, moving the contents directly below down a row? Expanding the table when a hidden row becomes visible. Or should I just use DIV's and forget about using the table format? Is there a simple way of applying a CSS style to only the form fields that are empty? I searched online and found this but doesn't seem to work. Code: input[value=""] {
background-color: #FFFF66;
}
any other ideas? Hello I work with a lot of online forms, long, multi-page forms like applications and housing forms. We currently style all form fields to use monospaced fonts. Our biggest reason in the past for doing that was for consistency between browsers. Netscape 4.x was the biggest culprit. Our sites now check and kick out 4.x browsers. Some in our group want to stay with monospaced fonts, and some want to switch to allowing proportional fonts. Those in our group who are for monospace say: - It helps to separate (visually) what is the label and what is the question. - They think it looks bad when the question and the answer use the same exact style. - With monspace the size attribute and the maxlength attribute are in sync. They hate it when a text field scrolls just because you type in some upper-case "M" characters. - If you, for instance, use too many lowercase "l"s then your text ends halfway through the field. Those in our group who are for proportional say: - In cross-browser testing the differences in spacing (in page layout) for text, textarea, and select fields is minimal. - The form fields look better. - If you look around online most forms now use proportional fonts; it's accepted. Does anyone here have opinions about monospace vs. proportional fonts in long online forms? I happen to fall into the proportional group, myself, but, as you can see, the argument, "It looks better." is not very technically compelling. Thanks for your opinions. Hi, Please see http://lbclibrary.org/addtoinquiry.php (scroll down a bit to see the form) What I want to do is, when the user selects "I am a member of ..." or "I want to become a member of..." the form fields in the OTHER cell should become readonly (i.e. should not allow input). Is it possible to make ALL the form elements in one <td> cell as readonly? Further, is it possible to change their background colors to say light grey? Then, when you select another radio option, that cell becomes writable and the other cell becomes readonly. Thanks a lot! [note: I created a new thread as my example has shifted a bit ... it was 'white-space and checkboxes'] The site http://www.thedancegypsy.com/test/checkBoxes.shtml contains two rows of checkboxes that are *supposed* to (a) indent any wrapped lines, and (b) keep each label with the corresponding checkbox when it does so. The only difference(s) in the *sources* for the two rows a - in the first, the html for each checkBox is written on a separate line, but in the second they are separated by only a space. - box ids were different to allow for html validity check. Each paragraph has the form: <p style = "margin-left: 2in; text-indent: -1in;">...(labels) .. </p> Each label/checkbox has the form: <label for="boxA2"><input type="checkbox" id="boxA2" > Combo A</label> Alas, on my IE brower (5.2 for mac on mac os 10.3), when changing screen sizes * the first row manages to keep each label with the corresponding checkbox -- but fails to indent. * the second row indents (reasonably well) but totally fails to keep the checkboxes with the labels. Any ideas???? Notes: This test started with an attempt to get a similar line of checkboxes to render correctly on a windows IE environment...] All lines are now handwritten, rather than the javascript coded lines I had in my earlier example... separation is now via non-breaking space rather than nowrap spans. If duplicate ids are allowed, the result is the same Im trying to write a better office backend. My client does alot of mailings and would like to print an avery 5163(this is not set in stone) form with addresses and send in the mail. Right Now: 1. Generate List. (I wrote the web-app that does this). 2. Copy it from the generated webpage. 3. Pastes it to M$ Word. 4. Adjust any formatting issues. 5. Print the list. What I'd like to do is 1. Generate List. (I wrote the web-app that does this). 2. Print the list.(The page would be formatted with CSS to achieve proper scale and dimension) Does anyone know where I would go to even get started on accomplishing this task? Hi, I have labels that aren't displaying properly in IE. I have used similar code in many parts of the site without problem. Please see this page in IE6. The label contents don't display If I move the labels outside of the content div it does display... Code: <div id="content"> <div id="tempcontent"> <div id='confirmation'> <p><label>Email address:</label>james@got.com<br></p> <p><label>Duration of stay:</label>2 day(s)<br></p> <p><label>Number of guests:</label>4<br></p> <p><label>Arrival date:</label>2007-01-03 00:00:00<br></p> <p><label>Departure date:</label>2007-01-05 00:00:00<br></p> </div> Code:
#content {
position:relative;
background-color:#ffffff; /* dcba72 */
margin-top: -1em;
#tempcontent {
margin: 4em 4em;
}
#confirmation {
margin: 2em 8em;
border: 1px solid #781351;
padding: 1em 3em;
}
label
{
width: 15em;
float: left;
text-align: right;
margin-right: 0.5em;
display: block;
color:black;
}
Does anyone know what's going on? |
