CSS - Styling Form Submit Button

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?

I've seen some text inputs with pretty snazzy styling, such as borders with rounded corners. How is this done?

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):

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

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.

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.

Anyone know a trick to get a submit button to display on the same line as an input field and not have it drop. My issue is that it is either pushed down a few pixels, or up a few pixels, as if something is padded.

Code:

<form action="#" method="post">
            	<span>Join our mailing list</span>
            	<input type="text" name="email" value="your e-mail address" class="v-email" />
                <input type="submit" value="" name="submit" class="btn" />
</form>

In the above example, the submit button is pushed down a few pixels as if it is padded. In Firefox however, it is pushed up a couple pixels. How can I get it to display inline perfectly. Assume that the styled button and the input field are the same height.

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 there,

I have a simple submit button with the word "Search!" as the value. However, in FF, it is appearing aligned nearer the bottom of the button where as in IE it is centered correctly.

This is what I mean:



This is my CSS:

PHP Code:
.search_button{
background: url("images/search.jpg") repeat-x;
border: 0px solid ;
font-family: verdana,  Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #373737;
font-size: 11px;
width: 80px;
height: 24px;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align:middle;
} 





and my HTML:

PHP Code:
<input name="" type="submit" value="Search!" class="search_button"/> 






Any ideas why this is and how I can center it in FF?

Do any questions get answered here?

How would I get a simple input form to align with a submit button?

You can see the problem at: bit.ly/ovFGhR
The CSS txt file: bit.ly/nMyP45

My CSS I think is telling the input text box to be a part of the paragraph above and the button sits below, misaligned.

Please help!!

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

Hey any idea why submit button at this page is not working???

I'm having trouble setting the background image of a submit button. This is my code:

Code:

<input class="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" style="background-image:url('img/enter.jpg');" />

I've also tried putting the css in my external css file in the .submit tag... didn't work. I know the path to the image is correct because the following works:
Code:

<input type="image" src="img/enter.jpg" /> 

What gives? Thanks

Ok, so I just used Pagination for the first time (Yay). I'm creating a make shift shopping cart, and was trying to align "Add to Cart" to show at the bottom of the product listing. Right now, the products show 5 per row, and the format is:
image of item
item name
price

Then there is some padding and I want the submit button to appear at the very bottom of the div (within the a href if possible). I have the a href set as display:block, so when hovered over, the area is gray. I want the submit button to be within that area.

I have tried with several variations (I did move the </a> to after the </form> line:
- Placed the <form> lines within a separate div and tried aligning it to the bottom using margin-bottom
- Tried styling the <input> using margin-bottom as well.

My knowledge of divs isn't really that good as I never really used them much before, so I'm sure it's something simple enough.

Right now when I do place it in the <a href></a> area, the Add to Cart button shows up right under the item_name... so it's staggered as item names may take up 1, 2, or 3 lines.

And keeping it under the link area makes the button too far down.

If you need further info, let me know.

Here's the code to pulling the info from the products table:
Code:

$query = "SELECT `id`, `image`, `item_name`, `msrp` FROM products $limit";
$result = mysql_query($query, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
$i == 0;

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  extract($row);
    $i ++;
	  $image_loc = "images/products/" . $image;
    $j = $i/5;
      $display .= "<div id=\"store\"><a href=\"view_item.php?id=	".$id."\"><img src=\"".$image_loc . "\" style=\"width:100px; padding-bottom:5px;\"><br />" . $item_name . "</a>";
			if ($logged_in != 'false') {
	      $display .= "<form action=\"add_cart.php\" method=\"post\">";
				$display .= "<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"".$id."\">";
				$display .= "<input style=\"margin-left:20px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Add to Cart\">";
				$display .= "</form>";
    		$display .= "</div>";
			}
    
		if (is_int($j)) {
      $display .= "<div style=\"clear:both;\"></div>";
	} else {

	}
}  

Here's the CSS:
Code:

#store {width:150px; 
			  float:left; 
				padding-bottom:30px; 
				padding-left:15px; 
				padding-right:15px;
				}
				
#store a{display:block;
			   text-decoration:none;
				 padding:10px;
				 height:200px;
			  }

#store img{border:0;
			    }
									
#store a:hover{background:#ccc;}

When viewed in IE my form's submit button shows up with a black border around it, and when clicked onto another blank space of the space, it goes to normal colors as applied in this css code.

Code:

font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px; background-color: #FFFFFF;  color : #000000; border: 1px solid #A5B4BC;

What could fix this?


Thank you.
