CSS - Styling Form Fields
I've seen some text inputs with pretty snazzy styling, such as borders with rounded corners. How is this done?
Similar TutorialsIs 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 I'm reading around, wondering how I get form fields to change style and the text that is inserted in the form fields to change style (font/size).. Is there an easy way to do this? for example http://member.classifieds.com/userjoin.php the entry boxes are smaller, and the text is smaller.. I looked at their code and I'm not quite sure how they achieved this. Im having trouble with styling a web form, im trying to manipulate the textarea width and have the following CSS code textarea { width: 400px; height: 250px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0; } The width is fine in Internet Explorer yet in Opera it seems to completely ignore the width attribute. The form itself is in a <div> which has no width attribute. Anyone got any ideas? im trying to get an effect like this one, where when a textfield or form area is selected, the div around changes bgcolor WooFoo I think i might be able to use the pseudo selectors but not sure if ie will take it. Anyways i would love some suggestions! I have this code that works fine in firefox and MSIE and the whole page validates with tidy (Green checkmark). I can't post a URL because its on a private server. The part that isn't quite right on safari is these: I have a table load of these that are part of a big form named commit. <td width="30" bgcolor ="#e7e7e7"><input type ='submit' class='button_notdone' value='2' onclick="javascript:mapbutt(document.commit,2)" /></td> This is the javascript code for mapbutt function mapbutt(myform,dex) { myform.action.value='map'; myform.qnum.value=dex; } The javascript does not return false so after clicking and setting the action and qnum values it is supposed to fall through to the form's serverside action, which it does. The problem is the styling of the submits. On every other browser they are whatever color I specify in the style I assign to them. Here is the style for button_notdone .button_notdone { font-family: monospace; font-weight: bold; width: 28px; height: 22px; color:#ffffff; background:#000000; } The background color in this case is supposed to be black and the text color is supposed to be white, and on safari it is black text on grey. I tried changing "input" to "button" which does indeed display the background color but unlike a submit it does not display the value. I need the text of the value to show in the text color over the button or submit or whatever it ends up being. How can I get these submits to look like what I want on safari. Thank you. Is it possible to style form elements (specifically checkboxes) with pure CSS, and without JS? I'm thinking of something similar to this (but without the JS): http://ryanfait.com/resources/custo...-radio-buttons/ I have form located below the google map on this page - http://www.hometowntrans.com/map_hours.asp I want to style it such that it has a 3d look to it if you will, with a gray background and black text. Im trying to get an input field and form button to line up to the right of an <li> tagged menu and not sure of the approach i should take. I'd prefer not to use a table if possible, and the table im using now is a bit buggy anyway. this is a page with the menu as it shows right now.... http://www.seesawusa.com/products/ this is the page with the basic idea of what im trying to do http://www.seesawusa.com/pages/74/ Things i'v tried 1. put the form inside a LI tag.... This results in putting the search box below the list of menu items across all my test browsers. 2. put the UL and the FORM inside a table with 2 cells... in FF, i get the result i want... except the LI and INPUT field are not aligned to the right in IE6 & 7 I get it lined up the way i want it. But the table pushes the the height and width of the containing div to an unacceptable level I've seen this type of thing before and in my searching other sites i've only found complicated table based layouts that use it. Does anyone know an approach that would allow me to leave out tables, or at the very least only use one? Thanks for the glance. P.S. Interestingly enough, the page you are reading has a menu and text field configuration that im wanting to use, but it is very table oriented. I'm missing something here. I want to change the color of the default value for this text field, without changing the overall color of the input field. For example, the default value of 170 will be gray, but when a user overwrites the data with their own numerical value, it will be black. I know how to change the color of the input field when a user types in data, but is there a way to change the color of the value= ? <input type="text" name="trans1_1" size="6" value="170"/> Any ideas? Seems like a simple task, but can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for the time. Hi guys, sorry if its newbie question, don't work with CSS so long. I've just read a nice article about styling CSS forms (Fancy Form Design) and it looked really nice, so I tried to apply it immediately. However, some problems occured, things are never so easy I guess . First problems occurs with styling of group of form elements: they are dropped one line down (below its label, resp. legend) in IE 5.5/6.0 and also moved to the right (in IE 5.5-7.0) for some reason. Also, styling of fieldsets' legends works odd: first legend is styled differently than the others (one would guess that all of them will be styled in same way). Could you give me pls a little hint on these problems? Here's the test page with applied form styling: http://147.32.122.251/hsh2t/index.php. General CSS: http://147.32.122.251/hsh2t/forms.css IE (5.5-6.0) only CSS: http://147.32.122.251/hsh2t/forms-ie.css 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 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. 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 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;
}
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> 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 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 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 |
