HTML - Helper Text To The Right Of A Textbox
Hi there,
I have a quick and simple terminology question. what is the name given to the "helper text" that I've seen on some websites alongside textboxes to help you fill them in? They are present at: https://twitter.com/signup if you click on any of the fields. Secondly, I see twitter does this using tables - which everyone seems to hate for layout. What is a better way of doing this? I assume that you fire some javascript when the textbox is active etc. But how do you get the textbox styled and floating on the right? Cheers, J Similar TutorialsHi everybody, I have a textbox and I want the text of that textbox display in a div. I want the text in the div to be updated as the user writes in the textbox.

Hi all, I don't exactly know what to call it, apart from the explanation to what I want to do. Basically, I have a HTML page. On their, I have a text box and a search button and some text in a table. What I want to do is, when typing something in the box, clicking search will then jump to a part of the page and 'highlight' what is typed into the box. Ideally, the page will run in either HTML but I can use ASP. Unfortunately I cannot use PHP. Could anyone please help or give me some advise on this?

How do I space them out? When I try br it goes down way too far. Here is what it looks like right now: Should I use a table? more DIVs? Or, is there a css code I could use to bring it down? Right...I'm in the process of creating a sample website, which takes in date data and number data...and I was wondering...as I have the option of using drop downs or textboxes....if the site does go onto a server...would it be easier (as the developer) to use drop downs or text inboxes..? I mean..when it comes to the user choosing things using the drop down or inputting into the textbox..and sending it to search in a database...which would be easier to play around with..and less complicated..? *thinks Am I making sense?* How can I add textbox on a form having a button? So I can pass it's value to the next page I have this page that can add textbox and remove it but the problem is if I add textbox they will all have the same name as the default. How can I have different name from my textbox so that I can call them individually on the next page...Thanks <html> <head> <script language="javascript"> row_no=1; function addRow(tbl,row) { var textbox='<td height="25" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#EEEEEE"><input name="textfield5" type="text" class="bodytext" size="20"></td><td height="25" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#EEEEEE"><input name="textfield6" type="text" class="bodytext" size="35"></td><td height="25" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#EEEEEE"><input name="textfield7" type="text" class="bodytext" size="3"></td>'; var remove= '<a href="#" onclick="removeRow(\''+ tbl +'\',\'' + row_no + '\')"/>Remove It</a>'; var tbl = document.getElementById(tbl); var rowIndex = document.getElementById(row).value; try { var newRow = tbl.insertRow(row_no); var newCell = newRow.insertCell(0); var newCell = newRow.insertCell(1); newCell.innerHTML = textbox + " " + remove; row_no++; } catch (ex) { alert(ex); } } function removeRow(tbl,num) { var table = document.getElementById(tbl); try { row_no--; table.deleteRow(num); } catch (ex) { alert(ex); } } </script> </head> <body> <form name="form1" method="post" action=""> <table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="mytable"> <tr id="myrow"> <td colspan="2" align="center"><h3>Some Text goes here</h3> </td> </tr> <tr ID="add"> <td width="177"> </td> <td width="273" align="right"><input type="button" name="Button" value="Add a new row" onClick="addRow('mytable','myrow')"></td> </tr> <tr ID="add"> <td width="177"> </td> <td width="273" align="right"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> Hello, i was wondering if anyone could tell me how i would place a textbox inside a layer (textbox with scrollbar only vertical). The textbox can only be wrote in by me to display text, not by any other user. I was also wondering then how would i position the textbox within the layer so it would be in the middle of the layer not at the top. And how i would then changed the colour of the scrollbar. Thanks I am trying to put a simple text box on my form, but no matter what values I put in for the size of the textbox it reamins the same size! However, copying just the form code to a blank html document and the text box appears in what ever size I want. I didnt want to post the whole code here because a) is over 600 lines and b) im an ameatur and its rubbish code! However, I am using PHP in Dreamweaver if that makes any difference. This is driving me crazy, pleasehelp! Hi, I am trying to work out a form i.e. user was to choose from a "Yes/No" drop-down option. For example if user was to choose "NO", nothing will happen, BUT if user was to choose "YES" option, a text box will appear next to the field to allow user to enter some information. Can this be done? My code is below. Thanks HTML Code: <tr> <td bgcolor="#eeeeff"> Is it a shared device?<br> <font color='#F62817'>** If yes, please indicate the shared device </font> </td> <td bgcolor="#eeeeff"> <SELECT name="shared"> <option value="No"SELECTED>No</option> <option value="Yes">Yes</option> <INPUT type = "TEXT" name = "shared_remark" value = "NIL"> </td></tr> Hello everybody, maybe someone can help me here - I have a little form on one of my websites where a user is supposed to type in one number in one little textbox. The textbox should be just big enough to contain only one number. While it is fine in Mozilla it seems to be messed up in Internet Explorer 6.0. Just two images - this is what it looks like in Mozilla: and this is what it looks like in IE: How in earth can I force it to show up in IE as it should, with a small box containing just one number? Here is the code: Code: <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <TR> <TD ALIGN="CENTER"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="m1" maxlength="1" SIZE="1" VALUE="1" STYLE="background-color:#E1CCB3" WIDTH="1"></TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="m2" maxlength="1" SIZE="1" VALUE="1" STYLE="background-color:#E1CCB3"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> <TD VALIGN="TOP"> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <TR> <TD ALIGN="CENTER"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="d1" maxlength="1" SIZE="1" VALUE="2" STYLE="background-color:#E1CCB3"></TD> <TD ALIGN="CENTER"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="d2" maxlength="1" SIZE="1" VALUE="7" STYLE="background-color:#E1CCB3"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> <TD VALIGN="TOP"><TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <TR> <TD> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="y1" maxlength="1" SIZE="1" VALUE="1" STYLE="background-color:#E1CCB3"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="y2" maxlength="1" SIZE="1" VALUE="9" STYLE="background-color:#E1CCB3"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="y3" maxlength="1" SIZE="1" VALUE="4" STYLE="background-color:#E1CCB3"><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="y4" maxlength="1" SIZE="1" VALUE="2" STYLE="background-color:#E1CCB3"></TD> </TR> </TABLE> I added the maxlength out of sheer despair and now I am at all wits end. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?? That would be so great.. Many thanks for reading and sorry if this is a bit bulky with the images. I also have a vague idea that this should probably be in css but then it's still html. I'm not good with css anyway.. Yatkha Hello, I am in need of help... I made a banner for my friends band.
