CSS - Horizontal Radio Buttons
I am attempting to create a form to collect data from users. Basically it is just a series of yes/no/not applicable answers. I have been attempting to format the form to look like this link http://www.nateandstephie.com/php/mrrc/test.php As you can see the fieldset is nicely arranged. The problem arises when I attempt to change one of the text inputs into three seperate radio buttons. The buttons end up vertical or right on top of one another. I am guessing there has to be a way by adjusting margins or something but I cannot seem to find it. Below is the code for the link above. Any help on solving this problem or if you have a better suggestion for how to create the type of form I am looking for is greatly appreciate. Thanks!!
Code: <style type="text/css"> form, label, input { font-size : 1em; } fieldset { width: 700px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 10px 20px; } legend {border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px; } label { position: relative; /* makes this the 'containing block' for the Absolutely Positoned input element */ width: 330px; /* see 20px left margin on input to center with 'cellspacing' */ display: block; /* required because label is an inline element by default */ text-align: right; /* right align text in label */ margin: 20px 0; background: #ffd; } label input { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%; /* position at right side of label */ margin-left: 20px; /* adds a gap between label and input */ width: 350px; } br { display : none; } </style> <p>This page is based entirely on <a href="http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/3758.htm">Wertigons css forms thread</a></p> <form method="post" action=""> <fieldset id="qanda"> <legend>questions & answers</legend> <label for="a1">Please enter your name:<input type="text" name="a1" id="a1" /></label><br /> <label for"a2">Would you like to share your email?:<input type="text" name="a2" id="a2" /></label><br /> <label for="a3">What is the nature of your question:<input type="text" name="tel" id="a3" /></label><br /> </fieldset> </form> Similar TutorialsHello, I have been reading through this message board for a few days now and have found great information that has helped me more than you could realize. I am here with my own problem now though and hoping somebody will be able to help me. When I took on this project I never would have imagined I would be spending this much time on trying to get radio buttons in a form to display correctly. The client wants four buttons listed horizontal, but for the life of me I can not get it to work. I have tried putting them in an unordered list, separate floating divs but nothing has worked. If anyone is able to point me in the right direction on how to get the radio buttons to list horizontal in css I would really appreciate it. The site I am working on has approximately ten different forms that all need the buttons listed this way. Thank You in advance for any help..I look forward to spending time on this site in the future. Adam Hi all! I'm wondering for quite a while now... when you put text or a label next to a radiobutton, it never lines up nicely. The (label) text is always a bit lower then the radiobutton. A common solution to this is using tables. But I don't want to use this "hack". I've also tried CSS margins and padding, but these don't seem to help. Is there any elegant way out there to get the text nicely lined up with a radiobutton? Thanks! Hey, In Firefox, Safari and Chrome etc, the poll in the sidebar on my website looks perfect: Lil Wayne HQ But in Internet Explorer, it displays the text underneath the radio button, instead of to the right of the button. This is what the poll currently looks like in IE: But this is what I would like it look like, and what it already looks like in other browsers: Anyone know how I can fix this with css? And I am using a IE specific style sheet. Thanks Other than changing the background color behind the radio button, does anyone know if it is possible to change the color inside the button to anyhing but white? More specificaly, when a button is disabled, anyway to change the grey color on the inside? Thanks guys!

Are there any tricks to getting consistency? My vertical CSS navigation menu buttons overflow when adding 10 or more buttons. The new buttons end up to the right side of the top buttons. If I change the html format for paragraph format it stops this, but in IE there becomes big space between the buttons. Here is the site: http:// bradleyrose . net / WaterStreetRestaurant Hi this is my first post. I'm having trouble making a horizontal navbar with a picture background. here is the vertical menu. http://school(dot)timswildwackyemporium(dot)com/NewMouseOver/navtest.html replace (dot)s with period I want to make the buttons next to each other, but with about 10px space in between them. Thanks. I've been fighting with this for a good couple of days here so I figure it's time to come ask people who might have a better idea than I do. I've been trying to get this list to display on a horizontal bar. It's not a navigation bar that's an integral part of the site's layout, just an unordered list that I need to have go across a line instead of down. I got the code from a site that does pre made menus because I'm still new to all of this so, you know, blah life story. Ha. My HTML looks like this: Code: <li><a href="#url">2005<!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]--> <!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="sub pos1"> <li><a class="sub2" href="#">August<!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]--> <!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <div class="border b1"></div> <div class="base div1"> <h4>August 2005</h4> <p>August 29</p> <p>New school division office will be in Weyburn</p> <ul> <li><a href="#url">Section 1</a></li> <li><a href="#url">Section 2</a></li> <li><a href="#url">Section 3</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--> </li> and I'm still not really sure what part of the code is the CSS affecting this but I think? it's this: Code: #verticalNav :hover ul.toplevel :hover ul.sub :hover div.base ul {float:left; padding:0; margin:0; list-style:none; width:200px;} #verticalNav :hover ul.toplevel :hover ul.sub :hover div.base ul li {display:block; float:left; width:150px; height:auto; padding:0; margin:0;} #verticalNav :hover ul.toplevel :hover ul.sub :hover div.base ul li a {width:190px; padding-left:10px; background:#fff url(vertical-list/dot.gif) no-repeat left center; color:#000; border:0; margin:0; height:auto; line-height:18px;} #verticalNav :hover ul.toplevel :hover ul.sub :hover div.base ul li a:hover {color:#069;} Is there a way to over ride this code so I can put the list on a single line? I'm staring at the emoticon bashing its head against a wall and it seems pretty accurate at this point. Hey guys nice forums.....am a css noobie i wanna know one thing how do i make a div stretch horizontally 100% , basically i want my website to be divided into 2 colors black and white the lower part would be black and the upper part would be white , now am not using a div container as i read through previous topics before so am using 2 divs as follows <div id="White">White area</div> <div id="Black">Black area</div> when i preview in IE i see the colors as i want but the divs do not stretch 100% as i said in the css. how do i do it ? hope i made myself clear on this I am trying to create a navigation menu for a page using images i have sliced in photoshop and I now need to put the images all on a 900px wide line and link them to the appropiate pages. When i put the images next to each other i end up with a gap. The only way I have found to solve the problem is to leave the img src all on the same line. I'm sure this isn't the best way to do it and it is throwing out the div below. Ideas anyone? Code: Code: Original - Code <div id="nav"> <img id="home" src="images/menu/home.gif" alt="" /><img id="about" src="images/menu/about.gif" alt="" /><img id="wedding" src="images/menu/wedding.gif" alt="" /><img id="corporate" src="images/menu/corporate.gif" alt="" /><img id="occasions" src="images/menu/occasions.gif" alt="" /><img id="contact" src="images/menu/contact.gif" alt="" /> </div> <div id="nav"> <img id="home" src="images/menu/home.gif" alt="" /><img id="about" src="images/menu/about.gif" alt="" /><img id="wedding" src="images/menu/wedding.gif" alt="" /><img id="corporate" src="images/menu/corporate.gif" alt="" /><img id="occasions" src="images/menu/occasions.gif" alt="" /><img id="contact" src="images/menu/contact.gif" alt="" /> </div> Jake Has anyone created a CSS horizontal fly-out menu list? I have a 3 level navigation list. The level 1 has 5 items, the first item of which has no sub-list. How can I get the level 2 and 3 lists to fly-out at the same level as its parent item? I have a horizonatal menu on my webise and the list items that drop down, are all jumbled into a single block of text. How do I create a new line fore each list item? I've been working on a site and have a problem with the horiztonal positioning of a div. At http://www.alphaworks.co.uk/problems/nicewag1/ I would like the position of the div with the id "page_footer" to move to the leftmost position. Can someone point out the mistake I'm making? Thanks, Geoff Hi, I have the following menu that is currently laid out with a table: http://www.ianarmstrong.com/menutest/ I want to switch this to be styled in CSS somehow. I've looked at using a styled unordered list to do this, but that doesn't seem like the best idea as each image in my menu is different. Thus I can't have 5 different <li> elements, each with a different bg image. I need a way to handle the 5 different images, and have a mouseover effect as well. Could someone offer some direction on this problem? Hi all, I have just found this forum and have an issue to solve... I'm creating my online portfolio and as many photographer I have choosen to use an horizontal scrolling. It works fine on all browsers except IE below version 8. Do you know what can be the trick ? The code is the following : There is a main images container in which two type of images are placed (landscape or portrait orientation) Code: #images { background-color: #FFF; overflow: auto; position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0; height : 600px; top: 63px; white-space: nowrap; z-index:1; overflow-y: hidden; } .imagew { display: inline-block; width: 800px; height: 600px; text-align: center; line-height: 600px; } .imageh { display: inline-block; width: 450px; height: 600px; text-align: top; line-height: 600px; } after that the code is : Code: <div id="images"> <div class="imagew"><img alt="" src="offshore/1.jpg"/></div> <div class="imagew"><img alt="" src="offshore/2.jpg"/></div> <div class="imagew"><img alt="" src="offshore/3.jpg"/></div> <div class="imagew"><img alt="" src="offshore/4.jpg"/></div> <div class="imagew"><img alt="" src="offshore/5.jpg"/></div> </div> I have a menu, click he http://progra.ro/demomenu/ This menu not appear correctly in Internet Explorer 6 due to "SPAN" element. Anyone know how to fix this problem leaving the span element intact in HTML ? All browser show the menu correctly, except IE6.Thanks! I've tried the tutorials on CSS menus but can't seem to get it to work right for my project. I want a spacer to seperate the buttons at 1 pixels wide but currently it's about 10 pixels wide. I've adjusted until i'm blue in the face can somebody help? The code is below: Code: <tr> <td width="766"> <div id="navcontainer"> <ul> <li><a href="">Home</a></li> <li><a href=""> Project Status</a></li> <li><a href=""> Tasks</a></li> <li><a href="">General Information</a></li> <li><a href="">Completed Tasks</a></li> <li><a href="">About</a></li> <li><a href="">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> CSS Code: body,html { margin: 0; } #navcontainer ul { list-style-type: none; text-align: center; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #navcontainer ul li { display: inline; } #navcontainer ul li a { text-decoration: none; padding: 0.2em 1em; color: #fff; background-image: url(images/back.gif); height: 24px; line-height: 23px; } #navcontainer ul li a:hover { color: #fff; background-color: #960033; background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: repeat; background-position: center; background-image: url(images/backover.gif); } --- Sorry if i repeat someone else's question, i've actually stumbled upon lots of solutions for this matter, but, as usual, there just seems to be no "only one" solution, so maybe someone here knows. In the good old days if i wanted to center all kinds of stuff, i'd use <div align="center">all kinds of <stuff></stuff></div>. Now i visit the w3c site and see the beautiful "deprecated" word by the "align" property, so i guess they once again need us to bash our heads against the walls with the most stupid invention in mankind: css. So can someone tell me how to center div's content horizontally? And not just text, i mean images, other tables or other kinds of things. If i assume correctly: If i use text-align - this is meant for text only If i use margin: 0 auto - that would align the div itself and not the content and we would need to know its width So is there any normal solution to this? For my horizontal drop-down menu, the menu items that overlap the content disappear for some reason in IE7.
