CSS - Can't Get Rid Of Space Between Form Fields
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> Similar TutorialsHi, 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 hey What i want is to have one line with a select box and a submit button on it. But when i put those 2 elements in a form it takes up 2 lines. How can i make it so that the form wont require an extra line? 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've seen some text inputs with pretty snazzy styling, such as borders with rounded corners. How is this done? Hi can anyone help me here, so I have a form on my page but after the </form> tag there is a big space below the last form element! Does anyone know some CSS i can use so I can get rid of this space? Thanks 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;
}
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 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 Hi, I am having trouble clearing labels and fields. 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 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 know I can do this by assigning certain elements a class but I'd prefer not to have to do this. Thanks It seems the form that creates unwanted space in IE.

I've tried moving the form outside of the dive that its in, but that makes the space even bigger. 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. When I browse the website with internet explorer, in the search section, there is a space after the form area. How can I remove it? http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/ How do I reduce the vertical space between form elements that I put inside a div? I have text "username" with the textbox below it but there is like 25 pixels of vertical space between them. Brad |
