CSS - Customizing Form Input (text) - Efficient?
Hi there! I'll cut right down to the chase: is my method of styling form input fields efficient? Is there a better way to do it? I tried directly styling the input, rather than putting it in a div, but it didn't work in IE (when too much text went into the field, the background would move, no matter what I did. ) Also, is my <label> styling okay?
HTML Code: Original - HTML Code <div class="formRow"> <div class="textInput"> <input class="textInput" id="name" type="text" /> <label for="name">Name</label> </div> </div> <div class="formRow"> <div class="textInput"> <input class="textInput" id="name" type="text" /> <label for="name">Name</label> </div> </div> CSS Code: Original - CSS Code #content div.formRow:hover { background-color: #EEE; } #content input.textInput { font-size: 14px; color: #666; padding: 3px 5px; width: 190px; height: 20px; border: 0; background-color: transparent; } #content input.textInput:focus { color: #000; } #content div.textInput { margin-left: 50px; background: transparent url('images/textInput.png') no-repeat; } #content div.textInput label { font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold; margin-left: 50px; vertical-align: top; }
And lastly... my image: Thanks a lot! Similar TutorialsThis is driving me nuts.... You see how the text is a tad hight than the form input ? How do i make them align ?! Thanks. 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 $home ?>" target="_self"></a>
</div>
<div id="search">
<form>
<input type="text" class="searchField" name="uSearchQuery">
<input type="submit" class="searchSubmit" name="uSubmitQuery" value="" onFocus="this.blur()">
</form>
</div>
<!--}}}-->
</div>
Code:
#bannerContent
/*{{{*/
{
width: 800px;
height: 158px;
}
#logo
/*{{{*/
{
background: url("../images/layout/logo.png") no-repeat;
width: 394px;
height: 56px;
position: relative;
top: 51px;
left: 24px;
float: left;
}
/*}}}*/
#search
/*{{{*/
{
width: 331px;
height: 32px;
position: relative;
top: 62px;
left: 58px;
display: inline;
float: left;
}
.searchField
{
background: url("../images/layout/search_field_bg.png") no-repeat;
width: 266px;
height: 32px;
border: none;
outline: none;
float: left;
<?PHP
if (!$agentIE && !$agentFF)
echo 'padding-left: 10px;' . "\n";
else
echo 'padding: 8px 0 0 10px;' . "\n";
?>
}
.searchSubmit
{
background: url("../images/layout/search_button.png") no-repeat;
width: 55px;
height: 32px;
margin-left: -10px;
border: none;
outline: none;
cursor: pointer;
float: left;
}
/*}}}*/
/*}}}*/
Thanks a bunch in advance! For some reason, I cannot get my 2 form elements to line up as far as height is concerened. No matter what I try, one is always slightly taller than the other, even if I set both to the same height. Any ideas? Code: input[type="text"], select {
color:#888888;
font-size:10px;
height:auto;
}
Hi, can anyone give me a hand with customizing my lists? I am trying to do something like here, http://www.microsoft.com/, but with a semi-transparent background in the nav bar. It works if I have borders around the links, which is fine if I had a solid bg as I can hide them, but being semi-transparent I have a problem, and when I remove them it causes a shift when moving over a link. Any ideas?? I am trying to customize some links. However, everything I've found shows how to customize all the links (using a:active, etc.). I cannot find the syntax to create a style that I can apply to specific links. Can someone help? TIA. Hey guys, I am in the process of adding a Twitter widget onto my website. I would like it to be very similar to that on http://www.spotify.com/us/about/what/. I am not sure how to edit the currently provided Twitter widgets to resemble that... Has anyone any idea? PS. I am looking for a programmer for my startup company. No cash, but rather equity. We need someone fluent in PHP. Hi, I am importing a Word Press blog to a web site, but it looks kind of sloppy. You can see it here : What I need to do is just present the title, and maybe the first 100 characters, then have a "read more" link. Once this link is clicked, the full article will show on the same page. I think I might need to use a JavaScript library as well, but I know I will need some CSS. If someone could give me a general idea of how to go about this, I would appreciate it. Links and resources are also welcome. thanks is there a way to align the text inside a <input type="text" name="fff" > to the center? thanks for the help in advance I have a disabled input field that is managed by PHP scripts. I need the fields to appear to the user but to look like just text. The main problem is that I have a patterned background on the page and I don't know how to create the style so that there is a transparent background on the input field. Can someone help? TIA. I wish all input-texts (input type="text") on my page to have a width of 200px, but I don't want any other input items, such as checkbox or button, to get this attribute. I tried the following in the style section, but it doesn't work. input.text { width:300px; } Note that the following DOES work, but it affects other input items as well, which I don't want: input { width:300px; } Any ideas would be welcome. Due to time constraints, no questions for further clarification of the problem will be answered. Thank you. Hi. I think this is probably a simple question for you guys. I have a web page with lots of input text boxes. What I would like is when the cursor is in the text box, the background changes to yellow from white. And as an added bounus. Some are originaly grey to indicate required input and maybe even a difrent active colour. Lots of websites do this so must be simple. TIA Desmond. Not sure if this is an HTML or CSS related question but here goes... googling gives me nothing. I have a form that I've built and on occasion one or two of the text fields may have text in side them but I've sent the text field to 'disabled' so that the user cannot change the information inside. The problem is is that some of my users are a little bit older and have a hard time seeing what is inside of the disabled text field because its already grayed out and the text inside is gray. Does anyone know if there is a way to change this or is it just a default with internet explorer? Thanks! Hi there, I have this basic CSS: Code: input.text {
font-size: 11px;
border: 1px #93A6C6 solid;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #3F5674;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
select {
font-size: 11px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #3F5674;
padding-right: 3px
}
textarea {
font-size: 11px;
border: 1px #93A6C6 solid;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #3F5674;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0px; word-spacing: 1pt;
}
The input box style isn't working correctly. The text I type in is coming out black and in a larger font than specified. If I just use style input rather than input.text it does work, but then it will put square borders around radio check boxes, which I don't want. Any ideas why it isn't working? This is the form it is being used on: Code: <form name="Albums Search" method="get" action="searchresults.php">
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><div align="center">
<input name="searchterm" type="text" tabindex="1" size="50" maxlength="75">
</div></td>
<td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="middle"><div align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="center">Artist:
<input name="searchtype" type="radio" value="artist" checked>
Title:
<input name="searchtype" type="radio" value="title">
Year:
<input name="searchtype" type="radio" value="year">
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
<textarea name="textarea"></textarea>
</p>
</form>
Thanks HTML <div class="unitWide"> <div class="labelRight" id="appt"> Reaction</div> <div class="widget"><input type="text" name="Name" size="30"/></div> </div> <div class="unitAutoHeight"> <div class="labelRight">Description</div> <div class="widget"> <textarea name="comments"class="wideComment" rows="6" cols="28"></textarea></div> </div> CSS .unitSmall, .unitWide, .unitSmaller, .unitAutoHeight, .unitPair, .unitCal { float: left; z-index:1; width: 100%; height: 2.4em; padding-bottom: 6px; } .unitAutoHeight { height: auto; } input, .wideComment { font-size: 16px; padding: 3px; background: transparent; background-image: url(../images/inputbackground.png); border: none; color: #3f3f3f; font-weight: bold; width: 23.6em; } Hi y'all, Ive got form elements (here called 'units') stacked vertically and left floated to ensure alignment in a fixed-width form. Im trying to get the comment input box to stretch vertically, and add rows as the user inputs longer text. Basically I want to save space on the form by not specifying a predetermined number of rows (which is not the case right now, theres 6 rows), but to let it expand and not hide the overflow or worse, display a sidebar. Ive tried everything, looked in javascript forums, cant find it! Ideally it would behave like the new facebook message or wall post text box. Thanks I want to create a div that goes right under an input, I can get it to look fine in FF but not IE using absolute positioning. Is there anyway I can position the new div relative to the input rather relative to containers around it? Hi! I'm in no way "new" to CSS and html, but I don't work with it on a regular basis. That said, what I'm trying to do, I would expect to work without too much trouble, but it's just not behaving like I'd expect. Seeing code is always a lot easier than trying to describe it, so here's the link to the page I'm trying to fix : chromocode.ca/test/ The issue I have is that the search box doesn't align with the image of the search button, even though they are the same height, and all elements (the input, the image, and its containing div) have 0 padding and 0 margin. I tried to put a top-margin of 2px on the image, that lowered the whole thing. Besides, it doesn't look exactly the same in IE7, Firefox and Chrome, so I don't want to start pixel-adjusting for each browser. Does anyone have any clue what I could do to fix this? How do I align an actual text input box to the center of the screen using css? Hey, I'm having a problem changing the background of a text input field to white. The problem seems to go away when I remove the javascript...I know next to nothing about javascript. Any ideas? Code: <label for="email"> <input size=30 id="email" name="iemailaddress" value="Enter your email address here" onFocus="functionEmpty(this.form)" onBlur="emptyFill(this.form)" onKeypress="subEnable(this.form)"> </label> Code: input {background-color:white;}
