CSS - Form Styling

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....

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

Hi, my xml code is:

<room>
<features>
<pool/>
<Aircon/>
<Radio/>
<DVD/>
<beds double="2"/>
</features>
</room>

<room>
<features>
<pool/>
<TV/>
<VCR/>
<beds twin="1" double="2"/>
</features>
</room>

i want to Display the word "Features" in bold, then under the word features i want the list of features to be displayed with bullet points. I want beds to appear in bold in the list.

This is the code i have so far:

features{
}

features:before {
content:"Features";
font-weight:bold;
}

beds:before{
content:"Beds: ";
}

beds[sofa-bed]:after{
content:attr(sofa-bed)" x Sofa-bed ";
}

beds[double]:after{
content:attr(double)" x Double ";
}

beds[twin]:after{
content:attr(twin)" x Twin ";
}


The problem is, i can't get in to display anything except, the beds entry. But when it displays the beds entry, it only gives the last one in the list. So the one with a twin and a double, only the twin is displayed.

Any idea's?

I am styling my <pre> on my template document and have some questions. First, I tend to gravitate to semantic correct CSS and xHTML. Thus chose xHTML strict for my template document and have been extensively styling the CSS style sheet.

The <pre> tag presents the latest dilemma. Basically, I came across this link where the developer presented CODE in a <textarea> tag. The code did not require entities, < or &rt; in the markup. These styling attributes appealed to me; inset design and overflow with scrollbars for extending text beyond the page.

http://www.evolt.org/article/HTML_is_not_an_acronym/17/35750/

The developer also used presentational styling in the markup. HTML strict does not allow one to use style attributes in the HMTL; besides the style sheet. But my sensibilities gravitate toward using semantically correct markup. Most people, including myself, use div containers with classes or ID for presentational styling. But for this exercise, the <pre> or <code> tag are preferable since these classes serve to present (you guess it) code.

One annoyance about the <pre> relates to indenting the markup (the actual text file). By default (and by design), <pre> tag incorporates any indents or white space in the browser. My thoughts revolved around changing the wrapping property to account for line breaks and disregard white space. Then, in theory, one could indent the markup for readability. This document is for personal use and semantically organized and indented for readability. The correct markup will help me understand or edit the document two years from now. In addition, it forms my quick reference to copy & paste tags.

The following class style did not produce the <textarea> desired attributes.

Code:

pre.CodeExample {
	/*background-color: transparent;*/
	border: medium inset #CCCCCC;
	font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
	margin: 1em 2em 1em 2em;
	overflow: auto;
	padding: .5em .5em .5em .5em;
	white-space: nowrap;
}

Please let me know what are the default CSS attributes for the <pre> and <textarea> tags.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions about styling the <pre> tag or links to cool implementations. You may review my markup at the following link.

The Blockquote section has several methods for displaying code. I am looking to consolidate and standardize my classes. Suggestions are welcomed.

pre.CodeExample

I have a menu constructed <div><ul><li><a><img><p>.

The li is margined as 16% to space a given number of links across the page in the 100% div.

I am trying to put a border around the <a> but the browser only shows the border as a sort of collapsed div and does not surround the child elements. I try giving height to the <a> but that does not work.

Any ideas how I can get the <a> border to surround the <img><p> tags?

Hi Guys,

Hope you are all well. My page layout is in CSS, however in the middle I have a selection of images and text, based in a standard HTML table.

All the images are 300px wide. It works fine on all nice small browsers, but it doesn't look nice on screens with a high resolution, because the images have lots of ****e space round them, and adjusting the background colour looks just as bad.

I have tried to apply width: 300px; (as well as max-width: 300px; ) to the td element, but neither FF or IE seems to accept this? Should they accept this?

Has anyone got a better more practical layout model for this type of display? either using a fix to the above or 'pure' CSS and ditch the table?

Charlie

I see that layout on my site is completely broken in IE7...

Hi All,

I have 2 questions, 1st one is I have a caption above my table, which sits on the extreme left. I also want to have the word 'Download' in the caption but want this to sit on the extreme right any ideas?

Also I have lots of data to display so have designed up my css so all the table look the same. The only issue is that because some of the headings aren't very long some of the data is moving onto the next line, do I have to manually set a column width in pixels/percent inside every single table? Or can I add something to my css?

This is how my caption looks...

[code]
<table width="700" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<caption>MEMBERS - SEARCH Download Details</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col" class="left">NAME</th>
<th scope="col">DOB</th>
<th scope="col">ADDRESS</th>
<th scope="col">PHONE</th>
<th scope="col" class="right">MOBILE</th>
</tr>
</thead>

Hello all, need a little help on a small link styling issue I am having. I am using the following style for links with the target="_blank" attribute, and it is working fine, but it is also applying itself to images that are linked with the _blank attribute:

Code:

article.post a[target~="_blank"],
article.post a[target~="_blank"]:visited {
	background:url(/Images/web/template/body2alt/external.png) center right no-repeat;
	padding-right: 12px; 
	color: #0066CC;
	text-decoration:underline;
}

Is there another line I can add to my CSS file so it will only apply this style to text and not images? I tried the following, but it didn't help:

Code:

article.post img a[target~="_blank"],
article.post img a[target~="_blank"]:visited {
	background:none;
	padding:0;
}

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello,

I am creating a simple navigation bar using a list.
My anchor tags inside each list item have a background and margin. The problem is they are overlapping.
I then added to the li tag margin-top: 20px.
The problem is that the bottom background of the last element disappears.

I think I might doing something wrong on my styling because when I fix something, something else gets wrong.

Could someone, please, help me out?

HTML:

<ul id="wmNavigation" class="Bar">
<li>
<a title="Page1" href="http://www.name.com/page1">Page1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a title="Page2" href="http://www.name.com/page1">Page2</a>
</li>
<li>
<a title="Page3" href="http://www.name.com/page1">Page3</a>
</li>
<li>
<a title="Page4" href="http://www.name.com/page1">Page4</a>
</li>
</ul>

CSS:

ul.Bar {}

ul.Bar li
{
font: normal 1.2em Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
letter-spacing: 0.1em;
margin-top: 20px;
}

ul.Bar li a
{
background-color: #202020;
color: #E2E2E2;
padding: 4px 10px 6px 12px;
text-decoration: none;
}

ul.Bar li a:link , ul.Bar li a:visited {}
ul.Bar li a:hover, ul.Bar li a:active, ul.Bar li a:focus
{
background-color: #303030;
}

Thanks,
Miguel
