CSS - Help With Form Fields
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.
Similar TutorialsHy- 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 is there a way to disable the 3d shadowing effect on form fields? so i can just have a border. I've seen some text inputs with pretty snazzy styling, such as borders with rounded corners. How is this done? 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?

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 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? 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 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 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;
}
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 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. 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? 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! Can I use custom fields in IE or not?

You'll see the difference taking a look at it in IE versus Firefox. It seems like it's picking up some things (even from the custom tags) but leaves off other things. How can I get these two pages to look the same (as in both look like the firefox version)? I used to create my website using tables before. At those times when I needed to create a field with multiple columns I used <th> attribute. Whats the best method of creating something like below without tables. :::: <table> <tr> <th> ID </th> <th> ARTICLE> </th> </tr> <tr> <td> Id numbers </td> <td> Articles </td> </tr> </table> When using Safari, whenever you click inside an input field, a highlight goes around the field (focus ring). Is there anyway to use CSS to remove the focus ring altogether? Hi, I have a form in my website but i have problems on fixing the size of the text area. I mean, I have a form with 5 single-line fields, and one comments field which is a multi-line field, the problem comes when I try to fix the size of that multi-line field to be the same weight as the singleline fields... I can handle with that, because the weight of the fields arent the same depending on the navigator used, and desperatly for me, I cannot fix the same wight for all fields.... any solutions? I'll really apreciate a help thanx in advance |
