CSS - New To Css - Trying To Left-align A Form
I used a form generator online that utilizes CSS and PHP. I am very comfortable with programming; but, I have never used CSS. I tried tweaking everything I could and no luck changing the CSS to left-align the entire form. I thought they used padding; but, I can't figure out where. Also, I removed the CSS to make sure the alignment wasn't part of the HTML - it is definitely embedded in the CSS as the form left-aligned (just not as attractive). Here is the CSS - apologies for the length. As you will undoubtedly see, this is my first post and I am not sure of your protocols for posting code.
body { background:#fffff; font-family:"Lucida Grande", Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:small; margin:8px 0 16px; text-align:left; } #form_container { background:#fff; border:1px solid #ccc; margin:0 auto; text-align:left; width:640px; } #top { display:block; height:10px; margin:10px auto 0; width:650px; } #footer { width:640px; clear:both; color:#999999; text-align:left; width:640px; padding-bottom: 15px; font-size: 85%; } #footer a{ color:#999999; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999999; } #bottom { display:block; height:10px; margin:0 auto; width:650px; } form.appnitro { margin:0px 0px 0; padding:0 0 20px; } There is much more CSS; but, I believe the issue is isolated to this section. Similar TutorialsI have a header wrapper for a column heading that sets the width and background of the column header. In that column header I have a tag for the header title, which is aligned left. Know, I find that the customer wants to add an "As of Date", on the same line, but wants it aligned right. Is this even possible to do? I cannot seem to come up with the correct .css code that would allow me to do this. html code Code: <div class="wide_column_header"><span class="headerbartext">Make Your Enrollment Selection</span><span class="headerbartextright">As of 3/31/2008</span></div> css tags: Code:
.wide_column_header {
float:left;
width:558px;
margin:0 0 0 5px;
background-image:url(../images/wide_header.jpg);
height:21px;
font-size:100%;
font-weight:900;
line-height:100%;
vertical-align:bottom;
color:#fff;}
.headerbartext {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:right;
padding-left:15px;
line-height: 140%;}
.headerbartextright {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:right;
padding-right:15px;
line-height: 140%;}
Confused yet? What's the best way to accomplish this? page testimonials.css Main.CSS If you look at the page, you will see that I have the "signature" of the testimonial giver aligned right, but I would like the two p elements to be aligned along their left edge as well (but on the right side of the page, with everything flowing around any images)... I tried floating them right, which and clearing the floats, but then the testimonials don't flow around the images... can this be done without getting divitis? Hi everyone, I just have this pain with aligning the whole red thing to left of the page browser (cause it just keeps hanging on the center) - you can check my homepage below - you will see the problem - what should I do to move the whole thing to left? Thank you in advance. Can't get flash anim to line up with left hand margin in IE. FF & Op fine. It's about 15px indented in IE. Don't have anything online - extract of code below...

On the right hand side I want to have images on the right and text to its left. I've tried variations of html/css but one seems to work with one browser and then not with the other. In safari it looks fine right now. http://www.ryanbuckley.ca/photos/ Can anyone help with this little annoyance? Thanks in advance! Ryan When i float my div to the left, i cant seem to get the text to align right, can someone show me a way out of this horriable predicament i have found my self in!! Hi all, We have a table layout we're experiencing some issues with on users that have smaller screens. Below is a simple 1 row example of elements contained in our div tables Code:
<div class="tracks-result-page" style="">
<div class="track-element">
<input class="track-select-checkbox" type="checkbox"><h4 class="track-name">Track</h4><span class="created-date">23-Jul-2008 17:13</span><span class="duration">47m</span><a href="#" class="view-button">view</a><a href="/viewtrack" class="edit-button">edit</a><a href="#" class="details-button">show details</a><input value="d5f173a2-b35e-4489-b468-33a05b1e4997" class="track-id" type="hidden">
</div>
<div class="track-element">
....more elements
</div>
</div>
Basically, I have 800 px to fit this data in from our site template. What's happening is on smaller resolutions, the 3 anchor tags aren't fitting in 800 px due to large font size vs table width, and the anchor elements are wrapping around. I have a lot of white space after the description, and currently have a fixed width on that div. What I need is to right align everything from the "created-date" class to the end of the element, then left align the "track-select-checkbox" and the "track-name" elements. I'm having a really tough time doing this for some reason. I can't use "float:right;" on the elements that need right aligned. If I do, they all appear in reverse order! Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Todd Hello, Is there a way to have padding (say 15px) all around a cell, but allow for expections, like having one div element float:left and align far left against cell border while everything else is inset 15px. ie. Code:
<style>
#menubox {
float:left;
margin-left:15px;
margin-bottom:7px;
}
.main_cell {
padding:15px;
}
</style>
<body>
<table width=600 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td valign=top class="main_cell"><div id="menubox">table with menu items taht is achored far left against cell wall</div>
Some text that wraps around "menubox" but needs to be padded around cell walls.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
Thanks, Rey I'm trying to make a simple input form, but the problem is that when trying to use CSS to align things, it makes it seems a lot more difficult. I was trying to get away from using tables because I was told they are unnecessary most of the time for alignment purposes. So if I have a couple of labels and form fields, how can I align them so that the labels all are at around 10px left , and then the inputs start at around 150x left. This is what I started to do, and I was thinking...wouldn't tables be much @$!# easier? I have to specify the position for every form field, and this is just one row: Code: <label style="position:relative; left: 10px; top: 50px; ">Input <u>N</u>ame:</label> <input style="position:relative; left: 100px; top: 50px; " type="text" name="txtInputName" maxlength="40" accesskey="n" > I tried it without the style tags, but the labels and fields would then be right next to each other on each line (no way to horizontally space it out nicely because the label length will vary) 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 }
...

My method works with text, but not the form... it just stays up at the very top. The CSS: Code:
#search {
padding: 0 25px 0 0;
float: right;
}
#srchbox {
height: 118px;
position: relative;
}
#srchbox .form {
bottom: 0;
position: absolute;
}
The HTML: Code:
<div id="search">
<div id="srchbox">
<p class="form">
<form>
<input type="text"><input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
</p>
</div>
</div>
I know that a form shouldn't be expected to act like text... but I don't know how to go about getting to align at the bottom. Thanks! I'm trying to adjust the left and right padding in a form submit button (to fake a normal-looking link so I can use the form to pass php variables w/ $_POST instead of $_GET)... I've put the padding-left:0em; everywhere I can think of, can't seem to influence the submit button padding. Does anyone know anything about this one? Tricky... Set margin:0px; Hi! Have been bashing my head against the wall with this one for a while now, so I thought maybe someone here could help me out a bit. Basicly, this sums up the issue: (sorry for the pure-text link, it didn't allow me to put up a propper one... >.<) http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cssiebug.png So, what I want is that the search field stays put, no matter how much text is entered into it. This works in all the other browsers, thought it's still a bit buggy, but I think I can fix that. Here is the code that should be of interest in this issue: Code:
<div id="bannerContent">
<!--{{{-->
<div id="logo">
<a href="<?PHP echo $home ?>" target="_self"></a>
</div>
<div id="search">
<form>
<input type="text" class="searchField" name="uSearchQuery">
<input type="submit" class="searchSubmit" name="uSubmitQuery" value="" onFocus="this.blur()">
</form>
</div>
<!--}}}-->
</div>
Code:
#bannerContent
/*{{{*/
{
width: 800px;
height: 158px;
}
#logo

Thanks a bunch in advance! Hello, I have two columns, one is on the left and another in the middle (center). Left column is where I want it to be, central column is also aligned properly, however, it is below left column. I want it to be on the same level as left. See here see how it got below ? It is XHTML validated and CSS is fine too (some background color warnings). Plz help me to make central column go up. Thanks. I've been unable to replicate this issue in IE, but it's plaguing all other "free" browsers I use (Firefox, Galeon, etc.). Take a look at http://www.skudd.com/blog/view/1370 for example. The bar on the left is floated left, as are the label elements in my comment form. In the li of each form item, I have a br with the clear property set to "left". What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to clear the previous label, so as to prevent the "stair step" effect. Why would "clear: left;" in this case cause the element to clear everything that has been floated left? What should I try in place of it? OK, so I have this nice clean form that I wanted to style up like the table-forms of old. I did it by floating the labels and form elements left, then clearing the labels left so they use their own lines. This works beautifully in Firefox and Safari, but IE (Win, at least) seems to think everything not cleared left should go on the same line! Is this a known IE bug/discrepancy? If so, is there a way to combat it without introducing meaningless elements to the markup (such as encasing each label/element pair in a div)? Here's some example HTML: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Test</title> <style type="text/css"> @import url("style.css"); </style> </head> <body> <form name="form" action="test.php" method="post"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" /> <label for="thoughts">Your Thoughts:</label> <textarea name="thoughts"></textarea> <label for="fun">Having fun?</label> <input type="checkbox" name="fun" value="yes" /> </form> </body> </html>
And the CSS: css Code: Original - css Code label { display: block; float: left; clear: left; width: 8em; margin-right: .5em; text-align: right; } input, textarea { display: block; float: left; }
I always seem to run into this problem and somehow get it fixed but this time I am stuck. I have a main wrapper and 2 footers that line up together and are all floated to the left. I'm trying to put in a column to their right that runs vertical called "right", to be spaced out about 110 px from the top of the page so it sits vertically below the banner and the navs. I tried giving it a left margin to clear the floated DIV's but to no avail.

And have two questions. First, why the gap between the left div and mainDiv in IE? I thought 3px bug was only for block elements with no dimensions? Second, why does padding left not take effect in FF untill I have overcome the width of the float? Even padding-left in the para does not take effect, which should be based off of its parent. Any help is appriciated, CJB I have a dynamic site I am developing. http://www.rubberducktech.com/software/eDeli2/Menu.php along the top there was an issue with a gap on the left and the right (Using IE6). I got the gap fixed on the left using * html #mainLogo{ margin-left: -3px; margin-right: -2px;/*this doesn't work*/ } which I found here in the forum. But, I cannot seem to get the right side gap to go away. Here is the code #header{ font-size:90%; color:#ffffcc; font-weight:bold; } #mainLogo{ background-image:url(../images/logo-span.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; margin-top:10px; height:140px; } |
