I already found threads about this topic like these:
How to hide <label for=""> CSS
How to select label for="XYZ" in CSS?
So I thought it's going to be easy, but for now I had no success.
The label I try to reach is this one:
Inside of code snippets I tried the following:
label[for=payment_method_angelleye_ppcp]
.label[for=payment_method_angelleye_ppcp]
label[for="payment_method_angelleye_ppcp"]
.label[for="payment_method_angelleye_ppcp"]
After a couple of Google sessions, I wasn't able to find any other way of writing. It also seems that you don't set a "." in front of it for this case, but I also tried it, of course.
I believe label[for="name"] is the correct format in general...
But it seems something is missing. Inside the label there is a text and an image, but I don't assume that this plays a role in selecting the label?
I put one in CSS and 1 in javascript
document.querySelector('label[for="ABC"]').style.color = 'blue';
label[for="XYZ"] {
color: red
}
<label for="XYZ">XYZ: </label>
<input id="XYZ">
<label for="ABC">XYZ: </label>
<input id="ABC">
Pierre's answer is good, I just want to clarify that label is an HTML element. Unless you have a CSS class "label", you would not be adding a period in front of the selector in CSS.
You're correct, the content (images and text) inside of a label will not affect the selector we're trying to use but there may be other CSS interfering with what you're trying to do.

I am attempting to modify the width of the ninja form text inputs on my wordpress site. I am able to call each individually by id with:
#ninja_forms_field_6 {width:25%; min-width:250px;}
However, I would like to do so by class. However, I can't seem to figure out the correct class to call. I have looked at the source code and it displays:
<input id="ninja_forms_field_6" data-mask="" data-input-limit="" data-input-limit-type="char" data-input-limit-msg="character(s) left" name="ninja_forms_field_6" type="text" placeholder="First Last" class="ninja-forms-field ninja-forms-req " value="" rel="6" />
<div id="ninja_forms_field_6_error" style="display:none;" class="ninja-forms-field-error">
</div>
When I've tried to use:
.ninja-field ninja-forms-req {width:25%; min-width:250px;}
Nothing seems to happen. In particular, my css editor doesn't seem to like the space between ninja-field and ninja-forms-req. I've found some other answers that indidcate these are two separate tags, but I still can't seem to get the text inputs to respond to my inputs. I should note that I am using the "Simple Custom CSS" plug-in to make changes to CSS. Any help in advance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Try .ninja-field.ninja-forms-req.
When targetting multiple CSS classes on the same element you need to separate them with periods.
I found this to work really well with ninja forms and their issue with the width of buttons in some themes. This also solved my problem using the custom css plugin. Just use the height according to your theme button height.
.ninja-forms-field {
width:100%!important;
height:50px!important;
}
I have this label and checkbox
<label><input type="checkbox" id="SameAsPrimaryAddress" />Same As Primary Address</label>
Is there a CSS selector that will only affect the label text and not the checkbox or do I have to separate my label from the input or give the label an ID or class to be able to do this?
It depends
In that case and if you only need that HTML, you can.
But
It is better to wrap your text with a span or a div to avoid problems you can encounter.
Here's a demo
http://jsfiddle.net/6aS4k/
Then you can add style with label span {}
Your answer: No. There is no selector to only target the free floating text of an element, without affecting the inherited properties of other elements within. To explicitly style your text, you would actually want to wrap your text in another element to target in your CSS, like a span.
However, in your specific case, that checkbox does not have many (if any) inherited properties in most browsers default stylesheet. So, a long as you aren't using a reset stylesheet or otherwise normalizing that input to inherit style properties you could get away with styling the label to affect only the text.
In the end, I would recommend that your label should actually correspond to your input separately, which would also semantically make sense. This would also allow you to make use of the for attribute, which will allow clicking on your label to toggle the corresponding checkbox as well, which is a win for usability!
<div>
<input type="checkbox" id="SameAsPrimaryAddress" />
<label for="SameAsPrimaryAddress">Same As Primary Address</label>
</div>
I have this code that should show and hide element outputs according to specific checkboxes.
The output that I´ve got is that each checkbox, when clicked, shows more outputs than it should.
How can they be targeted using specific css IDs?
I mean, whan you click on each box, it should only appear the text that´s referencin that specific box, and not all of them.
Thanks for your insight!!

DEMO
/*styled relative to the label*/
label {display:block;}
label ~ div {display:none; margin-left:1em;}
/*targetting*/
/*boxes with id having this number will style a sibling div with this number*/
input[type="checkbox"][id*="131"]:checked ~ div[class*="131"] {display:inline;}
input[type="checkbox"][id*="134"]:checked ~ div[class*="134"] {display:inline;}
input[type="checkbox"][id*="130"]:checked ~ div[class*="130"] {display:inline;}
You can use the contains *= selector. I'm not sure what browser compatibility it has, but it works for me in Chrome. For instance changing the CSS for the first of the three checkboxes looks like this:
input[id*="131"]:checked ~ div[class="tipo-uf-131"] {display:inline;}
This is close to a perfect example of overthinking things and relying too heavily on CSS. Stylesheets are supposed to be in charge of presentation not functionality. CSS selectors can be complex enough that you could use it for validation checks - does not make it a good idea though :)
You're much better off relying on javascript to accomplish this and would end up with a significantly wider browser support matrix. Change your markup a bit:
<label>Box 1:</label> <input class="form-checkbox" id="cb131" type="checkbox"/>
...<input class="form-checkbox" id="cb134" type="checkbox"/>
...<input class="form-checkbox" id="cb130" type="checkbox"/>
<div id="cb131-linked"><b>Box 1 is checked.</b></div>
<div id="cb134-linked">...</div>
<div id="cb130-linked">...</div>
...and you can add a jQuery listener so that when the state of a checkbox is toggled, you can show the related divs like so:
$checkboxes = $(".form-checkbox");
$checkboxes.change(function(){
console.log("changed");
$checkboxes.each(function(){
$this = $(this)
$("#"+$this.attr("id")+"-linked").toggle($this.is(":checked"));
});
});

Also, inputs are supposed to be self-closing elements.
Above is a Form. There are different methods to get the following form above, with the input and text seperated on different lines.
One is to use < br / > and another use fieldset, p-tag, etc.
But I am wondering what the proper way is to seperate the form different things in different lines?
The easiest way is simply:
label, input {
display: block;
}
Edited to add the content of a comment made below, from myself to the OP, since it seems pertinent to the answer:
The 'best' is a very subjective measure. The 'best' is simply the easiest way to achieve your end-result, ideally without mangling the semantics of the HTML. Using div elements in forms gives no meaning to the contained elements, or their relationship to each other.
Using a fieldset gives some idea of the relationship, but typically (possibly should, but I'm unsure) is used to group elements together, rather than simply style them. I'd argue my method is 'best' simply because it relies on no additional (meaningful or meaningless) HTML elements being added to the page.
There are no fast rules. HTML5 seems to favor using the p element, see its example on it. By old HTML specifications, p means a paragraph, but HTML5 defines a paragrapg as virtually any block of inline content.
In practice, it is best to select the markup according to the desired default rendering. If you prefer no vertical spacing, use br or div (in the latter, you would wrap each line in a div element, making it easier to style it if desired). If you prefer spacing (empty lines), use p. Using a table is one possibility but unnecessarily complicated in a simple case like this.
Using <br/> tags to control layout is not recommended. This tag should only use to break a line in a paragraph. Using it for layout purposes is lazy and bad practice.
The best way to create forms in general like the above is to use a <ul> list.
<form>
<ul>
<li>
<label for="firstname">Name</label>
<input name="firstname" type="text" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="surname">Surname</label>
<input name="surname" type="text" />
</li>
</ul>
</form>
This is considered by many the "proper" way of doing it.
Then you can style your list in whichever way you like, so depending on the css the label can be above or next to the input field (this is where the <br/> tag would spoil that).
The basic style you need to apply is:
form ul {
list-style-type:none;
}
This gets rid of the bullet points in the list. Then you can e.g. set the elements inside to block or make them float.
I would use <div> tags and position them manually with CSS. You can also use the clear:both within CSS. I have used <br /> before as well. You do not want to be using <p> tags though because it will confuse the Google Bot which crawls your website to place you on Google Search, from a SEO point of view <p> is bad unless you actually have content within the tags.
Tables may also look a good option but here is a good article on why you should not use tables for layout http://phrogz.net/css/WhyTablesAreBadForLayout.html
Ain't nothing wrong with using br's, though the cleanest way is to just make those items display:block.

Quite semantic way to markup label/field pairs is to use DL list (for example, this is used by default in Zend_Form). For submit button, DIV can be used:
<dl>
<dt><label for="frm-login-username">Username</label></dt>
<dd><input type="text" name="username" id="frm-login-username" /></dd>
<dt><label for="frm-login-password">Username</label></dt>
<dd><input type="password" name="password" id="frm-login-password" /></dd>
</dl>
<div><input type="submit" value="Login" /></div>
I'm trying to create a very basic chat system, part of which will be the entry box for lines of chat. If the user is logged in, that's all I need; but if the user is not logged in, I want an additional text box to allow them to enter their name.
I have the following HTML (although of course it can be altered):
<form>
<input type="text" placeholder="Name?" name="name" id="name"> <!-- This line may be absent -->
<input type="text" placeholder="What do you want to say?" name="say" id="say">
</form>
Is it possible to style this with CSS so that #name and #say together fill the whole width of the form, with #say taking all the width if #name is absent?
(The backend is Ruby on Rails; I have javascript available, so can use a JS solution, but would prefer pure CSS if possible)
For a simple, all-CSS solution, try the first-child pseudo-selector to overide a default half-width when #say is the first element inside of the form:
#name, #say{width:100px}
#say:first-child{width:200px}
This works perfectly fine with your simple markup structure. (I've tested it)
With whichever of the two languages you'll be using to determine whether the user is logged in, create a conditional statement that adds a html class to the input field that alters it's width say .input-full and .input-partial
IF user is logged in
SET class to input-full
ELSE
SET class to input-partial
ENDIF
sorry for the psedo code, then have appropriate CSS for each.
oooh, didn't see the CSS only, sorry. Without CSS3 and a disregard for IE I don't think you can do this with straight CSS.
