I have tried different ways for this but none of them were working for me so I am asking this question.
I have a images
I do have the following form
<div className="login-form">
<form className="form-horizontal" id="loginForm">
<div className="form-group" id="username-div">
<input type="email" className="form-control usertext" id="username" placeholder="Email" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
I tried using the position absolute as well. but not working.
So, How can I resolve this issue ?
Any hint or help will be helpful.
There are several ways you can achieve this, one is to use absolute positioning and put the icon inside the input, but I prefer this way:
.custom-input {
background-color: white;
border: 2px solid #ededed;
padding: 6px;
width: 215px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.custom-input>* {
vertical-align: middle;
}
.custom-input img {
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
display: inline-block;
}
.custom-input input {
border: none;
height: 40px;
display: inline-block;
outline: none;
margin-left: 6px;
}
<div class="custom-input">
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/KNLAq.png" alt="user-icon" />
<input type="text" placeholder="username" />
</div>
But, please note that it's not the recommended way, and it's better to use font-icons for this case. There are already lots of beautiful, and elegant font icons for this case.
You can set background-image of the input element to use your image and then use padding to adjust cursor/placeholder position, Here's sample css:
input {
background-image:url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/KNLAq.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
padding-left:20px;
}
You can use fontawesome library for this use:
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<input type="text" placeholder=" Username" style="font-family:Arial, FontAwesome" />
You can use Font awesome icons in place holder as and link font awesome cdn to your page using following code
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-wvfXpqpZZVQGK6TAh5PVlGOfQNHSoD2xbE+QkPxCAFlNEevoEH3Sl0sibVcOQVnN" crossorigin="anonymous">
then add font awesome icon using its code value(CSS content Value)
<input type="text" name="text" placeholder=" " style="font-family:Arial, FontAwesome">
and set font-family to FontAwesome
I have an <input> element, and I can't modify the HTML around it, but I want to add a glyphicon (<i class="glyphicons glyphicons-some-icon"/>) inside of it. I was hoping to do it with CSS, but I can't seem to get :after to work. I thought something like the following would generate that element:
#my-input {
content: attr(class, 'glyphicons glyphicon-some-icon');
content: '<i/>';
}
but it doesn't. Could anyone who understands :after better explain how I can generate the desired <i class="glyphicons glyphicons-some-icon"/> using :after?
:before and :after are applied inside a container, which means you can
use it for elements with an end tag.see explanation
See below example. to achieve what you want.
NOTE: parent position is relative so that chilled absolute position will take top and bottom depending on parent.
.myInput:after {
font-family: FontAwesome;
content: "\f0a9";
position: absolute;
top: 3px;
left: 7px;
}
.my{
position:relative
}
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="my">
<div class="myInput">
<input type="text" />
</div>
</div>
OR
.mystyle:before {
font-family: FontAwesome;
content: "\f0a9";
}
.myInput {
position: relative;
}
.myInput div {
position: absolute;
top: 3px;
left: 5px;
}
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="myInput">
<input class="mystyle" type="text" value="" />
<div class="mystyle"></div>
</div>
This could achieve what you are trying to do.
[data-icon]:before {
font-family: icons;
content: attr(data-icon);
speak: none; /* Not to be trusted, but hey. */
position: absolute;
}
<h2 id="stats" aria-hidden="true" data-icon="⇝">
<input type="text"/>
</h2>
OR
.glyphicon-search:before {
position: absolute;
}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<div class="glyphicon glyphicon-search">
<input type="text"/>
</div>
Is it posible to make an input checkbox a Bootstrap glyphicon?
I want to make up the default checkboxes with a nice Bootstrap glyphicon.
For example: glyphicon glyphicon-unchecked and when checked: glyphicon glyphicon-check.
I've tried this:
input[type='checkbox'] {
position: relative;
top: 1px;
display: inline-block;
font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
line-height: 1;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
content: "\e157";
}
But nothing happened..
I don't know if that's posible?
You can achieve that in a couple of methods:
Method 1
inside a <label> tag, two <tags> that represent the icons that you want need to be placed(or outside, per use scenario)
then toggle these two <tags>, when the input[type='checkbox'] is checked or unchecked
done.
Method 2
a cleaner approach to the above one, would be to use the css from bootstraps icons, and place them in a :before(or :after depending on your scenarion) on the <label> tag
then toggle the content prop. of the :before class, that the icons that you want have, when the input[type='checkbox'] is checked or unchecked
done.
Check out the demo here and also, a couple of more through documentation on this matter:
Add boostrap icon to input boxes
Boostrap checkbox documentation
If you're able to modify your markup a bit, this should do:
<label for="myCheckbox" class="glyphy">
<input type="checkbox" id="myCheckbox" />
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-unchecked"></span>
label words
</label>
$('.glyphy').click(function (e) {
if ($(e.target).is('input')) { // prevent double-event due to bubbling
$(this).find('.glyphicon').toggleClass('glyphicon-check glyphicon-unchecked');
}
});
Demo
if you have the icons, you can style it as such: http://jsfiddle.net/swm53ran/164/
/*hide checkbox and radio buttons*/
input[type=checkbox],
input[type=radio] {
width: 2em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 1em;
opacity: 0; /*This is the part tht actually hides it*/
}
/*normalize the spacing*/
input[type=checkbox] + label,
input[type=radio] + label {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: -2em;
line-height: 1.5em;
}
/*unchecked css*/
input[type=checkbox] + label > span,
input[type=radio] + label > span {
display: inline-block;
background-image: url('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Face-sad.svg/48px-Face-sad.svg.png');
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
}
/*selected checkbox css*/
input[type=checkbox]:checked + label > span > span {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
display:block;
background-image: url('http://wscont1.apps.microsoft.com/winstore/1x/a14c3995-34d7-454c-82e2-0c192e48b91a/Icon.173718.png');
}
/*selected radio css*/
input[type=radio]:checked + label > span > span {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
display:block;
background-image: url('http://wscont1.apps.microsoft.com/winstore/1x/a14c3995-34d7-454c-82e2-0c192e48b91a/Icon.173718.png');
}
<div>
<input id="check1" type="checkbox" name="check1" value="check1" />
<label for="check1"><span><span></span></span>Checkbox</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="radio1" type="radio" name="radio" value="radio1" />
<label for="radio1"><span><span></span></span>Radio1</label>

In an overlapping like the one below, how to prevent the large space between the title and text field?
.icon-link-mail {
position: relative;
left: 485px;
top: 29px;
padding: 8px 8px 7px 8px;
z-index: 2
}
<h3>Title</h3>
<form name="mail_form" id="mail_form" method="POST" action="">
<label for="sendto">
<i class="icon-envelope icon-2x icon-link-mail" style="color:#E4E4E4; text-decoration:none"></i>
<input name="sendto" class="sendto" type="text" style="width: 98%; margin-bottom:10px" placeholder="Send to.." />
</label>
</form>
Result can be seen in this fiddle
Personally I'd just use a pseudo-element, but if you wish to use the <i> icon, then we can do that a lot better by using position:absolute instead of position:relative. Adding position:relative just moves the icon, but leaves the space that it would have taken. position:absolute won't leave that space.
We need to make sure to set the parent contain (label) to position:relative though, so that the icon will be absolutely positioned in relation to the parent instead of the entire page.
#mail_form label {
position: relative;
}
.icon-link-mail {
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
right: 0;
}
<h3>Title</h3>
<form name="mail_form" id="mail_form" method="POST" action="">
<label for="sendto">
<i class="icon-envelope icon-2x icon-link-mail" style="color:#E4E4E4; text-decoration:none"></i>
<input name="sendto" class="sendto" type="text" style="width: 98%; margin-bottom:10px" placeholder="Send to.." />
</label>

I find the best way to do this is to just use an image. Here would be the code:
.search input {
padding-left: 17px;
background: #FFF url("../images/icon_search.png") left no-repeat;
}
.search input:focus {
background:#fff;
}
This will also remove the background image on focus giving the user a better experience overall.
Here is a solution that works with simple CSS and standard font awesome syntax, no need for unicode values, etc.
Create an <input> tag followed by a standard <i> tag with the icon you need.
Use relative positioning together with a higher layer order (z-index) and move the icon over and on top of the input field.
(Optional) You can make the icon active, to perhaps submit the data, via standard JS.
See the three code snippets below for the HTML / CSS / JS.
Or the same in JSFiddle here:
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/ethanpil/ws1g27y3/
$('#filtersubmit').click(function() {
alert('Searching for ' + $('#filter').val());
});
#filtersubmit {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
left: -25px;
top: 1px;
color: #7B7B7B;
cursor: pointer;
width: 0;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="filter" type="text" placeholder="Search" />
<i id="filtersubmit" class="fa fa-search"></i>
How can I add a glyphicon to a text type input box? For example I want to have 'icon-user' in a username input, something like this:
Without Bootstrap:
We'll get to Bootstrap in a second, but here's the fundamental CSS concepts in play in order to do this yourself. As beard of prey points out, you can do this with CSS by absolutely positioning the icon inside of the input element. Then add padding to either side so the text doesn't overlap with the icon.
So for the following HTML:
<div class="inner-addon left-addon">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></i>
<input type="text" class="form-control" />
</div>
You can use the following CSS to left and right align glyphs:
/* enable absolute positioning */
.inner-addon {
position: relative;
}
/* style icon */
.inner-addon .glyphicon {
position: absolute;
padding: 10px;
pointer-events: none;
}
/* align icon */
.left-addon .glyphicon { left: 0px;}
.right-addon .glyphicon { right: 0px;}
/* add padding */
.left-addon input { padding-left: 30px; }
.right-addon input { padding-right: 30px; }
Demo in Plunker
Note: This presumes you're using glyphicons, but works equally well with font-awesome.
For FA, just replace .glyphicon with .fa
With Bootstrap:
As buffer points out, this can be accomplished natively within Bootstrap by using Validation States with Optional Icons. This is done by giving the .form-group element the class of .has-feedback and the icon the class of .form-control-feedback.
The simplest example would be something like this:
<div class="form-group has-feedback">
<label class="control-label">Username</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" />
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user form-control-feedback"></i>
</div>
Pros:
Includes support for different form types (Basic, Horizontal, Inline)
Includes support for different control sizes (Default, Small, Large)
Cons:
Doesn't include support for left aligning icons
To overcome the cons, I put together this pull-request with changes to support left aligned icons. As it is a relatively large change, it has been put off until a future release, but if you need these features today, here's a simple implementation guide:
Just include the these form changes in css (also inlined via hidden stack snippet at the bottom)*LESS: alternatively, if you are building via less, here's the form changes in less
Then, all you have to do is include the class .has-feedback-left on any group that has the class .has-feedback in order to left align the icon.
Since there are a lot of possible html configurations over different form types, different control sizes, different icon sets, and different label visibilities, I created a test page that shows the correct set of HTML for each permutation along with a live demo.
Here's a demo in Plunker
P.S. frizi's suggestion of adding pointer-events: none; has been added to bootstrap
Didn't find what you were looking for? Try these similar questions:

}
.form-inline .has-feedback .form-control-feedback {
top: 0;
}
}
.form-horizontal .has-feedback-left .form-control-feedback {
left: 15px;
}
The official method. No custom CSS required :
<form class="form-inline" role="form">
<div class="form-group has-success has-feedback">
<label class="control-label" for="inputSuccess4"></label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputSuccess4">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user form-control-feedback"></span>
</div>
</form>
DEMO : http://jsfiddle.net/yajf3b7q
This demo is based on an example in Bootstrap docs. Scroll down to "With Optional Icons" here http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-control-validation
Here's a CSS-only alternative. I set this up for a search field to get an effect similar to Firefox (& a hundred other apps.)
Here's a fiddle.
HTML
<div class="col-md-4">
<input class="form-control" type="search" />
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</div>
CSS
.form-control {
padding-right: 30px;
}
.form-control + .glyphicon {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
padding: 8px 27px;
}
It can be done using classes from the official bootstrap 3.x version, without any custom css.
Use input-group-addon before the input tag, inside of input-group then use any of the glyphicons, here is the code
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-xs-5">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon transparent"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></span></span>
<input class="form-control left-border-none" placeholder="User Name" type="text" name="username">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Here is the output
To customise it further add a couple of lines of custom css to your own custom.css file (adjust padding if needed)
.transparent {
background-color: transparent !important;
box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.075);
}
.left-border-none {
border-left:none !important;
box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.075);
}
By making the background of the input-group-addon transparent and making the left gradient of the input tag to zero the input will have a seamless appearance. Here is the customised output
Here is a jsbin example
This will solve the custom css problems of overlapping with labels, alignment while using input-lg and focus on tab issue.
Here is how I did it using only the default bootstrap CSS v3.3.1:
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Start:</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" aria-describedby="start-date">
<span class="input-group-addon" id="start-date"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span></span>
</div>
</div>
And this is how it looks:
If you are using Fontawesome you can do this :
<input type="text" style="font-family:Arial, FontAwesome" placeholder="" />

This 'cheat' will work with the side effect that the glyphicon class will change the font for the input control.
Fiddle
<input class="form-control glyphicon" type="search" placeholder=""/>
If you want to get rid of the side effect you can remove the "glyphicon" class and add the following CSS (There may be a better way to style the placeholder pseudo element and I've only tested on Chrome).
Fiddle
.form-control[type="search"]::-webkit-input-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control[type="search"]:-moz-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control[type="search"]::-moz-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control[type="search"]:-ms-input-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
Possibly an even cleaner solution:
Fiddle
CSS
.form-control.glyphicon {
font-family:inherit;
}
.form-control.glyphicon::-webkit-input-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control.glyphicon:-moz-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control.glyphicon::-moz-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
.form-control.glyphicon:-ms-input-placeholder:first-letter {
font-family:"Glyphicons Halflings";
}
HTML
<input class="form-control glyphicon" type="search" placeholder=" search" />
<input class="form-control glyphicon" type="text" placeholder=" username" />
<input class="form-control glyphicon" type="password" placeholder=" password" />
Here is a non-bootstrap solution that keeps your markup simple by embedding the image representation of the glyphicon directly in the CSS using base64 URI encoding.
input {
border:solid 1px #ddd;
}
input.search {
padding-left:20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position-y: 1px;

}
<input class="search">
Here's another way to do it by placing the glyphicon using the :before pseudo element in CSS.
Working demo in jsFiddle
For this HTML:
<form class="form form-horizontal col-xs-12">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-xs-7">
<span class="usericon">
<input class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Username" />
</span>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Use this CSS (Bootstrap 3.x and Webkit-based browsers compatible)
.usericon input {
padding-left:25px;
}
.usericon:before {
height: 100%;
width: 25px;
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-box-pack: center;
-webkit-box-align: center;
position: absolute;
content: "\e008";
font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
pointer-events: none;
}
As #Frizi said, we have to add pointer-events: none; so that the cursor doesn't interfere with the input focus. All the others CSS rules are for centering and adding the proper spacing.
The result:
You can use its Unicode HTML
So to add a user icon, just add to the placeholder attribute, or wherever you want it.
You may want to check this cheat sheet.
Example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder=" placeholder..." style="font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings', Arial">
<input type="text" class="form-control" value=" value..." style="font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings', Arial">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value=" submit-button" style="font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings', Arial">
Don't forget to set the input's font to the Glyphicon one, using the
following code: font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings', Arial, where
Arial is the font of the regular text in the input.
Tested with Bootstrap 4.
Take a form-control, and add is-valid to its class. Notice how the control turns green, but more importantly, notice the checkmark icon on the right of the control? This is what we want!
Example:
.my-icon {
padding-right: calc(1.5em + .75rem);
background-image: url('https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.8.2/svgs/regular/calendar-alt.svg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center right calc(.375em + .1875rem);
background-size: calc(.75em + .375rem) calc(.75em + .375rem);
}

</label>
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar col-sm-pull-2"></i>
</div>
On input I have something like this:
Here's how it works in pure Bootstrap 5:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>iconbutton</title>
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap#5.2.0-beta1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.1.1/css/all.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div class="d-flex flex-row align-items-center m-4 border rounded">
<i class="fa-solid fa-search mx-2"></i>
<input type="text" class="form-control border-0" placeholder="Search">
</div>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap#5.2.0-beta1/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
To remove the border that appears on focus, add shadow-0 to the input.
If you are fortunate enough to only need modern browsers: try css transform translate. This requires no wrappers, and can be customized so that you can allow more spacing for input[type=number] to accomodate the input spinner, or move it to the left of the handle.
#import url("//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css");
.is-invalid {
height: 30px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.is-invalid-x {
font-size:27px;
vertical-align:middle;
color: red;
top: initial;
transform: translateX(-100%);
}

You should be able to do this with existing bootstrap classes and a little custom styling.
<form>
<div class="input-prepend">
<span class="add-on">
<i class="icon-user"></i>
</span>
<input class="span2" id="prependedInput" type="text" placeholder="Username" style="background-color: #eeeeee;border-left: #eeeeee;">
</div>
Edit The icon is referenced via the icon-user class. This answer was written at the time of Bootstrap version 2. You can see the reference on the following page: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html#images
