CSS - Separate Bg Colors For Form Fields
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; } Similar TutorialsHi. I have a form in a php script where among other fields the visitor picks a color from a select tag. I can manage the select list with the following code: <option style={background:red;} value=1>red</option> <option style={background:yellow;} value=1>yellow</option> ...and so on... but when I use the select to pick a color the browser highlights my selection using blue color. The problem is that this blue overwrites my color so the visitor can see all the other colors but not the one he is choosing ... Is there a way to control the highlighting color of the select tag? Sorry if this has been answered before... i couldn't find an answer... 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. Hy- 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 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? Help appreciated PHP Addict Code: <div style="width: 350px; float: right;"> <div style="width: 100px; text-align: right; float: left; background: yellow;"> <label for="">field Name:</label> </div> <div style="width: 100px; float: left; background: orange;"> <input name="Address1" type="text" id="Ad1" value="$Address1" size="15" maxlength="25"> </div> <div style="width: 120px; float: right; background: blue;"> Error Message </div> <br /> <div style="width: 100px; text-align: right; float: left; clear: left; background: yellow;"> <label for="">field Name:</label> </div> <div style="width: 100px; float: left; background: orange;"> <input name="Address1" type="text" id="Ad1" value="$Address1" size="15" maxlength="25"> </div> <div style="width: 120px; float: right; background: blue;"> Error Message </div> <br /> <div style="width: 100px; text-align: right; float: left; clear: left; background: yellow;"> <label for="">field Name:</label> </div> <div style="width: 100px; float: left; background: orange;"> <input name="Address1" type="text" id="Ad1" value="$Address1" size="15" maxlength="25"> </div> <div style="width: 120px; float: right; background: blue;"> Error Message </div> </div> I've seen some text inputs with pretty snazzy styling, such as borders with rounded corners. How is this done? is there a way to disable the 3d shadowing effect on form fields? so i can just have a border. to start: this is my first post and i hope this forum is as helpful as the others i am a member of.. i have a basic text game i am working on and code is already layed out for me.. but i am looking to give the game my own style.. i have created the look i want in photoshop and sliced and sent over to dreamweaver but i am a noob and dont know how to get the things functioning.. at all pretty much everything can be set as the background except for the form but i want the blue gradient in input fields and images as buttons. i would like to have big font size in boxes and also have white letters.. also i want the whole centered x and y when viewer goes to page like i said: im a noob and just getting back into the web dev stuff and am pretty rusty so if anyone can help me out i will be SOOOOOO thankful!!! here is the link to the jpg.. let me know if you need the psd but i have 2 or 3 dif fonts in it that are not common fonts Code: http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad353/zac_exuro/Untitled-1-2.jpg 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 } ...

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? 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 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 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 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? 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. 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! Greetings I'm using wordpress, and the theme I've selected displays English in a reasonable font size. But it displays Arabic in a very tiny font. I'm wondering, if its possible to maybe create a child or separate css file for Arabic language, where I can increase the font size, while keeeping the main css file to handle English language? Is that at all possible? and if so, how to do the switch that tells the script to use the Arabic css file when it handles Arabic text, and use the default css when it handles English text? I hope that my post is not confusing, as I'm newbie to css and I would highly appreciate any help given (in details please) Many thanks. I am using a table bg mouseover CSS effect. In FireFox and my dreamweaver workspace, the page looks fine. However in IE, the section where I used the CSS effect has a slightly different color. What could be the cause of this? Thanks. wait, i just figured out that its the image that is a different color... so my new question is, why? i try to follow this tutorial but the result is not what i have expected. nothing happened at the index.asp.http://www.maxdesign.com.au/present...rial/roll09.htm default.css Code: #cell td { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; } #cell a { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8px; display: block; color: #FFF; background-color: #036; width: 9em; padding: .2em .8em; text-decoration: none; } #cell a: hover { background-color: #369; color: #FFF; } index.asp Code: <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link href="css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body> <table width="200" border="1" align="center"> <tr> <td colspan="3" align="center"><img src="images/background_raw.jpg" width="750" height="94"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table width="200" border="1"> <tr> <td class="cell">Home</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="cell">About Us </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="cell">Services</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="cell">Contact Us </td> </tr> </table></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> |
