I have a page like:
<div class="loginpage-form">
...some stuff
<form>
<div class="flexwrapme">
<input type="text"... />
</div>
<input type="submit".../>
</form>
<!-- DONT apply Style to inputs from form below -->
<form>
<input type="text"... />
</form>
</div>
This is a very basic question, but it's not clear to me : how do I properly style just the input type "text" or "email" within the loginpage-form > flexwrapme containers?
I had the following, but not convinced... :
.loginpage-form .flexwrapme input[type="text"],
.loginpage-form .flexwrapme input[type="email"] {
style stuff...
}
Am I writing this correctly?
Cheers! Pat
you don't need to add .loginpage-form for your style just this will do
.flexwrapme input[type="text"],.flexwrapme input[type="email"]{
your style
}
And one more easy way to do this would be to directly add class to your input elements and styling them

I have a form input like this (label text is black):
When I type something in it (and after leave the field), it stays like this (label text is gray):
How can I keep the label black?
This is my input code:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group form-group-default">
<label class="label-black">#Html.LabelFor(g => g.Street)</label>
<input asp-for="Street" class="form-control" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
I don't recognize that style as being from twitter-bootstrap, but if it is then the following CSS rule should override it:
label.label-black {
color: #000;
}
If this is not sufficient to override the current style you may need to further specify the selector:
form .form-group label.label-black {
color: #000;
}
Note: That rule must be applied after any other CSS declarations in order to override them.
And finally if doesn't work, then there may be some JavaScript involved, in which case no amount of CSS over specification will help, since the JS style will be applied later.
I am using a CMS which when building a form wraps all it's contents with what it calls an "anonymous div" to comply with XHTML, unfortunately the theme was designed without this insight and there fore the submit button CSS is:
.contact form div.control input[type=submit]
This works if the markup is:
<section class="contact">
<form>
<div class="control">
<input type="submit" />
However because this additional DIV added by CMS:
<section class="contact">
<form>
<div>
<div class="control">
<input type="submit" />
How can I write the CSS a bit more adaptive so extra markup doesn't affect it so much, but without styling the individual element via ID or class???

Your selector should still select the input, the div won't affect that. If the div is causing layout problems, you might need to make it an inline element like this:
section > form > div { display: inline }
You should be able to just add:
.contact form div div.control input[type=submit]
or
.contact form div .control input[type=submit].
Either should work fine.
I'm trying to integrate an html page(which already has lots of formatting, links to css files, .js files etc) in to asp.net
The problem is that some of the styles used in the html refer to a form element, like this:
#Area form input[type="mytype"] {
content: '';
position: absolute;
display: block;
}
When I try to wrap this up in an asp.net page, it loses the formatting, because I need to put everything inside an asp.net 'form' with runat="server". The Css gets confused because it's now a form within and area within a form.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/all.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="uitest.aspx" id="form1">
<div class="aspNetHidden">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwUKLTUxMTcwNzgxMGRk/FKLdutHp78brNcMIqdbHqG7TcPZ3FoZf+HMkhw=" />
</div>
<div id="feature">
<div class="validate-form">
<span class="icon"></span>
<input class="required-email" type="email" placeholder="Email address">
<button class="btn"><span>Apply now</span></button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
What's the best way round this? Can I just rename 'form' to something else in the Css?
thanks
You should not have a nested form in a Web Forms app. If your CSS styles aren't being applied, your selector isn't targeting your elements properly or your selected has lower specificity than another selector with conflicting styles. runat=server has nothing to do with it, as that attribute is not actually rendered on the page.
Now, it appears you have an illegal type for your input. Based on your selector, you should have a structure something like:
<div id="Area">
...
<form>
...
<input type="mytype" /> //ILLEGAL!!
</form>
</div>
Why do you have a mytype input? You should only be using valid types, like text. Change them, and then add this:
#Area form input[type="text"]{
background-color:red !important; //This is just for testing, don't put into production!
}
If your inputs don't get a red background, then adjust to this:
form input[type="text"]{
background-color:red !important; //This is just for testing, don't put into production!
}
If you are still having trouble, actually paste your source code (click View Source from your browser, not Visual Studio).
UPDATE
Why do you have #Area in your selector? There is not element in your markup with that ID. This selector will work:
form input[type="email"]{ ... }
Assuming you don't need to be able to interact with the input elements in the page's code-behind file, it's perfectly acceptable to just use literal HTML controls in the page's markup.
Assuming, also, that you are allowed to tweak the CSS, you can remove form from your selectors, and then just make sure you copy everything into a <div> ... </div> with an id="Area" attribute.
CSS:
#Area input[type="whatever"] {
content: '';
position: absolute;
display: block;
}
HTML:
<div id="Area">
...
<!-- add markup here -->
...
</div>
i would like to apply a specific css to a specific label in my html

i used many pseudo classes but i didn't find any solution
any idea please ?
try this way where you can style all your label inside the div contained into registration
#registration > div > label{
//your css
}
DEMO
Just give it a class. Classes may be repeated in HTML, like;
<label class="class1">Localisation</label>
and in your css,
.class1{
//styling
}
CSS3 way
#registration div label:first-child {
// specific styles for just the first label item
}
Or
#registration div label:nth-first-of-type{
// specific styles for just the first label item
}
jQuery Way
<script>
$( "#registration div label:first" ).css( "font-style", "italic" );
</script>
How about
#registration > div > label:first-of-type {}
?
Match labels who are the first, direct child of a div.
div > label:first-child {}
Actually it would be much better if you could add some classes to your elements. Matching wide selector such as div is a bad idea for future maintainability. Changing your markup will break your style.
Basically is what is says in the tin.
I have an input tag and independent javascript to control it. When they user is inserting data it changes one of its' classes automatically so that its color is changed by CSS which is defined elsewhere Until then everything is ok. Next: I want the whole div that contains that input to change color so that the user can be warned when something is wrong. There's a problem here: How can I select that div I want to select only using CSS?
Here's some code that works for the input:
input.wrongVal {
border-color: red;
background-color: red;
}
input.wrongVal:active{
background-color: white;
}
Here's the relevant code from the page:
<div class="infoinputContainer">
<p class="inputLine">
<span>
<input type="text" id="data">
<label for="data">Data info</label>
</span>
</p>
</div>
How can I, with only CSS, select for styling the div shown here (and no other div) with, for instance, another background?
You can't do that with CSS. What you can do however is use Javascript to either change the class of the div container or wrap the div container into another div.
<div class="infoinputContainer invalid">
<p class="inputLine">
<span>
<input type="text" id="data">
<label for="data">Data info</label>
</span>
</p>
</div>
or:
<div class="invalidInput">
<div class="infoinputContainer">
<p class="inputLine">
<span>
<input type="text" id="data">
<label for="data">Data info</label>
</span>
</p>
</div>
</div>
You can't. Not with pure CSS.
CSS selectors only select/target children or descendants for performance purposes: if you could target :parent (like in jQuery) the browser would have to wait to render any of the page until it had processed all child nodes.
You'll have to use JavaScript instead.
You can't with just css.
What are you using to change the class when a user enters information? If it's javascript, you can use that to change the class of the parent (or grandparent) as well.
