CSS - Underlined Text Box
I am trying to create a text box that has no border but has the entired box appear to be underlined. That is, I would like a 20 char box to appear like it has 20 underscores in it. However, I do not want to use a mask to do this, since I do not want any underscores in it. I want this to look like a host-based program. I don't want the text to show up as underlined as it's typed in, I would like it to appear just as an already underlined text box. So we can say that I want to record First Name and Last Name.
so it would look like First Name:____________________ Last Name:____________________ Any ideas on how to do this? here is my code so far Code: input.termbox {color:#3333FF;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font-family:Terminal;
font-size: 15px;
text-decoration:none
font-weight: normal;
border: none;
Similar TutorialsI have some body text on a site I am working on. On Firefox and Safari the text appears with an underline even though it isn't set in the CSS to have this line. Strangely it doesn't happen in Internet Explorer 6. Also, it only happens on one page of the site in Firefox and Safari. I'm trying to make a small box that is entirely clickable with text inside that is not underlined. Could someone explain to me why this code does not work, and what I need to do to fix it?

I have a div on a web page set up so that all the links inside that div should not be underlined. Works great on every OS and browser I have tested it on... except one particular computer running Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8. That computer shows the links underlined. Other computers running Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 show the links not underlined as intended. Is there some kind of personal browser setting in Win/IE8 that overrides the style sheet? I looked in Internet Options and found the option to underline links Always/Hover/Never, but that option seems to be set to always by default, and does not override the style sheet on other computers. Hello, a bit of a .css n00b and needs your help. After changing a .css sytle sheet to suit my a needed color shceme the links become underlined when the color is changed. Anyone willing to to tell why. Any help appreciated. A sample of the link code: /*- Links */ #primary a:hover, #primary a:visited:hover, .secondary a:hover, .secondary a:visited:hover { text-decoration: none; } h2 a:hover, h2 span a:hover { color: #423525 !important; <!---27d to 423525 --> text-decoration: none; } a{ color: #423525C; <!---27d to 423525 --> text-decoration: none; } .itemtext a:visited { color: #b41; } Thanks. I've got two questions of which one is to gather some opinions to help me decide what's best. 1) color notation in CSS: Any recommendations as to what notation I should use? examples: color: rgb(255,234,0) color: slateblue color: #FF99CC color: #F9C Is there some recommendation here? I'm quite used to the long hex notation e.g. #FF99CC. Is the short notation also very much accepted? And should I be using those at all or should I prepare myself with a new site to switch to rgb(). 2) text-decoration yes or no? I was thinking the following: A) when it's absolutely clear that some text presents a link, like e.g. in a menu or some newscolumn with a brief description and a bold title, then it's "okay" to set text-decoration: none. Maybe an underline or colorchange when hovering. B) When it's not absolutely clear what's a link, like some word in a paragraph text, use underline or at least some other colour which is consistent over the website for being a link. Also, with point B I was thinking of choosing: A new link: text-decoration with color and text-decoration gone with hover, for a nice effect. With a visited link: I) text-decoration but normal paragraph color and again text-decoration gone when hovering OR... II) no text-decoration, but still with that color and text-decoration when hovering. It troubles me coz I can't make up my mind. Something keeps telling me that I should try to keep those text-decorations like with B-I and simply remove the colour, instead of relying on colour to indicate a link. So forget about B-II?! Ah, it was this site which works on my conscious not to rely on color for links: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2003Mar/att-0002/01-part#colorunits Anybody got some comments or tips? And yes also some tip on the CSS I want things to be "user-friendly" enough, but this also means that I don't want text to be broken up too much. Some people even suggested that I should take ALL links out of the paragraph and simply mention them below the paragraph. All good points, but which way to go Hello All, I have an image with a text label to the right that is linked. Now, I want a little whitespace between the image and the text, so that the text doesn't butt up right against the image. To accomplish this, I could use a non-breaking space ( ) However, the space then becomes part of the link and it gets underlined. So, by adjusting the image's margin (or padding) CSS, I can achieve the desired result... at least in Internet Explorer. Firefox/Safari/Chrome seem to underline a linked image's margin as well. I tried using "padding" CSS instead, but produced the same result. How can I get Firefox/Safari/Chrome to underline JUST the text in a link, and not the image (and it's margin) as well? This is how the code is displayed in IE: http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/2360/pfieeu9.jpg Firefox/Safari/Chrome: http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5421/pffirefoxvv1.jpg You can see the little extra "nubbin" of underline between the icon image and the text. CSS: Code:
a.red10ullink:link {color: #a80000;
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: arial;
text-decoration: underline;}
a.red10ullink:visited {color: #a80000;
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: arial;
text-decoration: underline;}
a.red10ullink:hover {color: #333333;
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: arial;}
img.icon {vertical-align: middle;
border-width: 0px;
margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;}
HTML: Code: <a href="somepage.html" class="red10ullink"><img src="icon_pf.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" class="icon" />Printer Friendly</a> Thanks! Good Morning All, Been having a slight problem with the visual in the screenshot below. The blue line is our H2, and the purple one is our H3, however, as you can see, the underline spans the entire width of the column, not just underneith the text, which is our requirement. ***As i am not allowed to upload a url as a new user, the underline is as follows. With the text centre aligned. text ----------------------------------------------------------- rather than text ------ and obviously by the css, the underline on the headers is a small image, repeated - x. Please see relevant css information. * (line 23) { margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; } h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 (line 101) { font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: normal; padding-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 0.6em; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: center; } .contentArea h2, #secondaryNavigation h2 (line 114) { background-color: transparent; background-image: url("../images/h2_gradient_bg.gif"); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: left bottom; color: #0066cc; } Many Thanks in advance. Marc. I would like to pop up the text, that is, make it bigger when the user hovers on it. but the problem everytime the text gets bigger, the whole row moves and the surrounding texts gets displaced. any idea ? tutorial? let me know if i need to explain more. can someone help me with this? here is the page&css I have been working on... the page file the css file I might be silly to use a template that I did on illustrator (with all the banner, boxes and navbar read and just use that as my container background. then I made some transparent boxes for puting in text, images or form elements. Is that why I am not able to select any other those things on the site? this is the first time I try using css to make the whole webpage, so I would appreciate any guidance...thanks!! I know how to position regular text using the in-line style "text-align:right", but when I try to do that with a link I get nowhere. Simplified example: Code: <html> <body> <td><p style="text-align:right">Google</p></td> <td><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td> <td><a style="text-align:right" href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></td> <td><span style="text-align:right"><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></span></td> <td style="text-align:right"><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td> <span style="text-align:right"><td><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td></span> </body> </html> The first body line works fine to move the text to the right, but the link in lines 2-5 of the body are stuck on the left. Any suggestions? (My actual code invokes a class from a css page in a particular <td> and I'm trying to force a link in that <td> to the right using an in-line style; while I can do that for regular text I haven't found the secret of doing that for a link.) i have almost perfected the text wrap for this page.... http://defunctgames.com/helpfix/relevent.php4 problem is, i put a margin-top:50px on the image, and i want the text above the image, to flow all the way to the left. thus fully wraping the text. I saw a website that was throwing text that was written and recalling it with a link into a textbox...are there any tuts or anyone help me out with this one thanx aim rpduece Hi. See code below. Why does the outer SPAN in TABLE not grow with the image height. If the text is longer so it is forced below image then it looks as it should. Please also read some comments in the code. Code: <html><body><center><br><br> Why does image not force the outermost span to be at least as high as image?<br> If the text are long enough and gets below the bottom border of image it look good though.<br><br> NOTE: I need to put Image and text either within separate span or in same span as the examples below.<br> In my real application I'm using an <a href=" ...> around the outer span in examples below.<br> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;"> <span style="display:block; float:left"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0"> </span> <span style="display: block; color: white;"> Text here. </span> </span> </td></tr></table> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; color: white;"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0" style="float:left"> Text here. </span> </td></tr></table> </center></body></html> Hi, Howdo you get text and and image on the same line. I want text and 2 images on the same line but the image appears on the next line like a <br> has been entered. There is plenty of room for all data.Each has its own <div>. I'm having trouble with a page I'm working on- I posted here a few weeks ago with something sort of similar. This time, though, I'm at a loss, I've tried several different things but nothing worked. http://www.geocities.com/nny555/eup/newschedule.html As you can see, the div where the content is, the text is stretching right through the div. Is there any way to fix this? Based on the questions I see being asked and answered here, I'm concerned many of you will laugh at my ignorance, but here goes anyway. I want to know how to use CSS on just a little text. For example, let's say I want to render One-Two-Three-BOOM as text on a Web page, except that what I really want is for the BOOM part to be in a larger font and bold-faced. Can that be done using CSS? Can I select the BOOM part in Front Page 2003 and impose a CSS style to those four letters and only those four? Everything I try, based on the CSS file I'm using, results in applying the new style to all of the text within a whole paragraph. I want to be able to apply the style to just a little text at a time. As another example, I want to render the following two lines Johnny G. Doe 123 West South Street in such a way that, using CSS to control everything, I can get the second line to appear in a smaller font. I can get it to work if there's a <p> between the two lines, but not if I want to separate them with a <br>. I'm not asking whether it's a good idea to use CSS this way, I'm just asking how to do it. I will try to attach a file to this thread that shows the first several lines of the CSS file I'm using, in case that makes a difference. If this doesn't work, please let me know. Thanks. --Johnny Is it possible to have text run around a div positioned with absolute positioning? Hmm, This is a problem that has plagued me for a while, but just recently decided to find a solution. Basically I like to single out words for empasis on certain pages. Well with EM that's fine. However on a new website I'm coding I need to do (TYPE 1 FONT) (TYPE 2 FONT) (TYPE 3 FONT). All are different decorations. Is there a way to create a tag for each word? Thanks. |
