Changing md-subheader-inner css property - css

I am trying to remove the padding:16px; property the md-subheader-inner inherits from the md-subheader directive.
The problem is, that when applying another class on my subheader, it seems like i can't change the inner style properties. I have made a codepen trying to show what the problem is here.
Whenever I inspect the element, it doesn't matter which of the two solution I made, the css properties are not updated... I think I am missing something obvious here, but I can't figure out what this is.
Please note that I don't want to use direct modification on md-subheader class because I am using that directive on a lot of places and I don't want any side effect (hence my 'padding-less-inner' class).
Html:
<md-select name="test" multiple="true" ng-model="whatever">
<md-subheader class="md-sticky padding-less-inner">
<md-input-container style="width:100%;padding-left:8px;padding-right: 24px;margin-bottom: 0px;">
<input style="width: calc(100% - 30px);float: right;" ng-model="searchText" class="_md-text" onkeydown="stopPropagation(event)">
</md-input-container>
</md-subheader>
<md-optgroup>
<md-option ng-value="item.id" ng-repeat="item in querySearch()">{{item.name_fr}}</md-option>
</md-optgroup>
CSS:
.padding-less-inner {
.md-subheader-inner {
padding: 0 !important;
}
/*div {
padding: 0 !important;
}*/
}

I made a slight modification to your CSS:
.padding-less-inner .md-subheader-inner {
padding: 0 !important;
}

angular 5 material - form fields stuck at 180px

I've created a form in a dialog using material forms, but I can't seem to get the inputs to be wider than 180px despite following numerous examples including https://material.angular.io/components/input/example.
I'm sure this is a pretty standard CSS thing, but I don't have that sort of brain so I cant figure out the problem.
Does anyone have a serious / non-trivial example that works??
Here's mine:
<h1 mat-dialog-title>{{title}}</h1>
<mat-dialog-content>
<form novalidate #f="ngForm" class="form-full-width">
<mat-form-field class="input-full-width">
<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="data.name" name="name" matInput placeholder="Name">
<mat-hint>Enter a unique name.</mat-hint>
</mat-form-field>
<mat-form-field class="input-full-width">
<textarea [(ngModel)]="data.description" name="description" matInput placeholder="Description"></textarea>
<mat-hint>You should describe the purpose/use of this thing.</mat-hint>
</mat-form-field>
</form>
</mat-dialog-content>
CSS :
.form-full-width {
min-width: 150px;
max-width: 500px;
width:100%;
}
.input-full-width {
width:800px;
}
.mat-form-field.mat-form-field {
width: auto;
}
Thanks.
can you try using
mat-form-field {
width: 100%;
}
I had the same issue in a mat-card, this worked for me.
Seems like it's something to do with View Encapsulation. This thread explains it: https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/4034 but changing encapsulation for the component causes all sorts of compile failures.
This article gave me the correct solution:https://material.angular.io/guide/customizing-component-styles
I'll move my style to global scope...
.formFieldWidth480 .mat-form-field-infix {
width: 480px;
}
and in the component that opens the dialog:
this.newDialog = this.dialog.open(NewDialogComponent,
{
width: '650px', height: '550px',
data : newThing,
panelClass : "formFieldWidth480"
});
I hope this saves someone else the day I lost...
Just like Jonesie said, this behavior is related to View Encapsulation. In this context .mat-form-field-infix takes 180px as default value probably beacause of this. The auto value lets the browser calculates the width instead of puting hardcoded value. The !important declarations forces the style override for this.
I am using !important since it complies with the rules for the use of this property. See docs
::ng-deep .mat-form-field-infix {
width: auto !important;
}
It's that .mat-form-field.mat-form-field in the css that's causing an issue. As soon as I removed that, I could control the widths with .input-full-width width setting. I set up a demo here: StackBlitz.com
<h1 mat-dialog-title>{{title}}</h1>
<mat-dialog-content>
<form novalidate #f="ngForm" class="form-full-width">
<mat-form-field class="input-full-width">
<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="data.name" name="name" matInput placeholder="Name">
<mat-hint>Enter a unique name.</mat-hint>
</mat-form-field>
<mat-form-field class="input-full-width">
<textarea [(ngModel)]="data.description" name="description" matInput placeholder="Description"></textarea>
<mat-hint>You should describe the purpose/use of this thing.</mat-hint>
</mat-form-field>
</form>
</mat-dialog-content>
.form-full-width {
min-width: 150px;
max-width: 500px;
width:100%;
}
.input-full-width {
width:800px;
}
/* .mat-form-field.mat-form-field {
width: auto;
} */
The solution I found was this one into general style.css
mat-form-field {
margin-left: 2.5rem;
width: calc(100% - 2.5rem);
}
::ng-deep .mat-form-field-infix {
width:800px !important;
}
This should work fine.Not sure if it can be done without custom CSS.
I have the same issue, fixed it with.
But still no idea why this issue is happening...
.mat-form-field-infix {
width: 100%;
}

CSS Bootstrap: Auto resize input field and button

I have a a text type input field, and I have a button for "Search". I would like these 2 objects to be horizontally aligned; with the button being as big as it wants to be, and the input field taking up the rest of the space. I have been trying with CSS all day, but with no avail.
I am using RoR, and employing the Bootstrap library. I was wondering if there was anything out of the box that would make this work. I have also tried using flexboxes, but the input field seems to have a mind of its own. Below is the problematic code.
<div class="mini-layout fluid">
<div class="mini-layout-body">
<h2>Shows</h2>
</div>
<div class="mini-layout-sidebar">
<div class="search_container">
<input id="search_shows_text" type="text" class="search-query">
<button id="search_shows_button"
type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Search</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I've been able to get the search_container class to lay things out horizontally, but getting its children to resize appropriately has managed to escape me all day.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT Thanks to Krishnan and the SO community I got the solution working. Below is the code for anyone else.
HTML
Search
CSS
.search_container
{
text-align:center;
margin-top: 5px;
}
.text_area
{
width: 55%; //Change as per your requirement
display: inline-block;
margin: auto;
}
.but_area
{
width: 25%; //Change as per your requirement
margin: auto;
}
By default bootstrap have width set to 206px for text area and 71px for submit button. So in order to make it accomodate your requirements you have to override those default properties. I would probably do something like this.
create a class text_area with custom property
.text_area
{
width: 85%; //Change as per your requirement
}
create a class but_area with custom property
.but_area
{
width: 10%; //Change as per your requirement
}
And would use it in input text area and button.
<input id="search_shows_text" type="text" class="search-query text_area">
<button id="search_shows_button"
type="submit" class="btn btn-primary but_area">Search</button>
It will make my text area to occupy 85% of the space and button to occupy 10% space in my window and remaining 5% of space is left free.

Adding styles to simple_form collection/drop down

I'm attempting to override the default simple_form styles for a collection/drop down I have, but am unable to get the width to adjust as my drop down takes up the entire width of the page.
I've add the css provided here, https://github.com/plataformatec/simple_form/wiki/CSS-for-simple_form to my stylesheet and have added a class to be applied to the drop down.
.simple_form div.input {
margin-bottom: 10px;
clear: both; /* Required for Webkit, but not for Gecko */
}
.simple_form label {
float: left;
width: 100px;
text-align: right;
margin: 2px 10px;
}
div.boolean, .simple_form input {
margin-left: 120px;
}
.simple_form input.test {
width: 30px;
}
I used the information from this, Rails simple_form label_html and Add a class to each select options with SimpleForm in attempt to get it work, but while my test class is added, it shows as, class="select optional test". I'm unclear on where the "select optional" is coming from and how to remove it.
In the end, the resulting HTML looks like,
<div class="input select optional f_User">
<label class="select optional" for="f_User">User</label>
<select class="select optional test" id="f_User" name="f[User]">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="15">Shawn</option>
<option value="87">Bob</option>
<option value="88">John</option>
<option value="89">Mary</option>
</select>
</div>
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
The classes select and optional seem to be generated by SimpleForm to style the selection box. Taking a look at the code for custom wrappers, each input type has a CSS associated to it based on the input name, i.e. selects have a class="select" etc. The optional class seems to come from the custom options assigned to the specific field such as is the field required or not. If you truly want to remove them, it seems you'll have to monkey patch SimpleForm to achieve this or create a custom wrapped with the css classes you choose.
That said, you could overwrite the width parameter for the "select" class:
.select {
width: 30px;
}

How to float image inside of div

I have this html:
<div class="speaker-list">
<div class="view-content">
<div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first">
<div class="views-field views-field-title">
<span class="field-content">
Keith Anderson
</span>
</div>
<div class="views-field views-field-field-job-title">
<div class="field-content">VP, Digital Advisory</div>
</div>
<div class="views-field views-field-field-company">
<div class="field-content">RetailNet Group</div>
</div>
<div class="views-field views-field-title-1">
<span class="field-content">
Store of the Future
</span>
</div>
<div class="views-field views-field-field-headshot">
<div class="field-content">
<div id="file-53" class="file file-image file-image-jpeg contextual-links-region">
<div class="content">
<img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/kanderson.jpg" width="180" height="180" alt="" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
It's dynamically generated by a Drupal view, so I can't change the output html at all. I need to work with what is here. Here's the desired result:
Without any styling on the headshot, this is what it looks like:
I tried to style the image to force it to float to the left of the text:
.view-speaker-list div.view-content div.views-row div.views-field
div.field-content div.file-image div.content img {
border: 1px solid #666;
float: left;
position: relative; /* tried with and without position (inc. absolute) */
left: 30px;
}
Obviously I'm doing something wrong, because this is what I get (with relative position):
and with absolute position:
I've also tried putting the float on the "uppermost" div class that holds the image, with no position on the div:
.view-speaker-list div.view-content div.views-row
div.views-field-field-headshot {
float: left;
}
It gives the same result as the position: relative screenshot.
Where am I going wrong? If I had control over the html I'd do it differently, but I'm not sure how to deal with all of these nested divs.
EDITED TO ADD NEW SCREENSHOT FOR #WEX
Here's what it looks like when I tried to use your code with the html reordered - http://jsfiddle.net/mPa7z/
I'll try to explain the "right" way to use float so that you can see why your way didn't work.
In your post, you try to apply float: left to the <div> surrounding your image, but that technique only works when the element you are floating is above all the elements you want to wrap around it. That "may" solve your problem, but that technique has it's pitfalls if you're trying to use it to create two distinct columns - if the text on the right is taller than the floated element, the text on the right will wrap below it. So then you have to add another container around your non-floated elements to ensure that it won't wrap. This solves your problem, but doesn't really help if you can't even edit your markup!
I'd argue that the technique I've posted below works better, and solves your problem: http://jsfiddle.net/Wexcode/AQQwX/
.view-content {
position: relative;
min-height: 180px;
padding: 0 0 0 180px; }
.views-row { padding: 20px 0 0 20px; }
.views-field-field-headshot {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0; }​
If you have access to the View itself in Drupal, you can reorder the elements. When logged into Drupal, open the View (in Drupal 7: Structure > Views > Viewname), look for "Fields" and click on the triangle next to "add", which will have a popup, then click "rearrange". You can then drag the photo field to be the first item in the View, then adjust your CSS to float the image to the left.
EmmyS,
Instead of trying to get the headshot to float:left, have you considered making the others float:right? This will give the impression that the image is floating left without having to change the markup in any way.
div.speaker-list div.views-row > div.views-field {
float:right;
clear:both;
}
div.speaker-list div.views-row > div.views-field.views-field-field-headshot {
float:none;
clear:none;
}
The above CSS should work with that specific configuration without altering any of your other Drupal generated markup. In order to make sure that other CSS does not interfere, I've applied as much specificity as possible. Since the headshot will be back in the containing <div>, you shouldn't need to alter the size of it unless the store is simply too large (I don't know without looking at your data). Finally the CSS is concise, so you can add any additional styling you need on a per-element basis.
Hope this helps,

When you can drop somewhere else on the page some code, you can gain control over the HTML by using jQuery. Then you could make modifications to the DOM tree.
But I do not understand why you can not edit the HTML. Isn't Drupal open source? You should be able to find the file using FTP and manipulate it.

Best strategy to style the same HTML when it appears on multiple pages

I have a simple HTML table with 2 columns containing text fields and headers for 'Name', 'Comments' and 'Email'.
I'm looking for the best strategy on styling this HTML fragment if it were to appear on multiple pages - requiring different dimensions on each page. I've been reading a lot about CSS recently but havent stumbled across enough information yet that really makes me comfortable to know the best way to design such .css.
For instance I might show the comments form at 50% width on the 'comments' page, but only at 20% in a sidebar in some additional places on the site.
I am mainly concerned about styling the widths of the boxes - but of course the same approach applies for the text. For instance the name field should not be as wide as the email field. I'm thinking fixed widths are better than percentages.
There are obviously many ways to style it. Assume I have 1 master css file already.
1) Put percentage widths on the input tags and then the outer div would be 100% width for whatever panel it is contained in. This requires no page specific css but I don't like the idea of percentages inside the td tags, plus I cant change the height easily of the textarea.
2) create styles for #Name, #Comments and #Email in each individual page as additional styles in <head><style> *
3) style based on #Name, #Comments and #Email in a page specific css file. Are page specific files good or bad? I'm not even sure I like styling based on the ids here because they're dynamically generated and if for some reason they needed to change I'd have to update the css everywhere.
4) style based on #Name, #Comments and #Email but qualify them with a descendent selector specific to each page. So i'd have .faqPage #Name for when this appears on the FAQ page. Obviously these go in my master css file.
5) create class names for 'emailField,nameFieldandcommentsField` [options 2,3,4 are repeated for this option]
6) create class names for 'shortField,fullWidthFieldandtextInputField` [options 2,3,4 are repeated for this option]
7) you get the idea :)
8) something else
I'm just a little overwhelmed with all the options. How do I go about deciding which is the best way? A specific goal is to be able to style the same HTML on multiple pages (obviously thats what css is all about though - but it does affect which options I can use).
<div id="pnlSubmitComments">
<table class="fieldTable">
<tr>
<td align="right">
<label for="Comments">Name:</label>
</td>
<td>
<input id="Name" name="Name" type="text" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">
<label for="Comments">Email:</label>
</td>
<td>
<input id="Email" name="Email" type="text" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top">
<label for="Comments">Questions:</label>
</td>
<td>
<textarea id="Comments" name="Comments">
</textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
<input id="btnSubmitComments" name="btnSubmitComments" type="submit" value="Submit Questions" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
PS. The actual field names more specific such as CommentsName - its just easier to put Name here for readability.
Side comment: Maybe you shouldn't use tables to layout this form but fieldsets, it would leave you with more flexibility. For example if you decide to have the labels and input fields on top of each other in a more narrow column...
your example without tables (looks also much prettier):
<style type="text/css">
<!--
form { /* set width in form, not fieldset (still takes up more room w/ fieldset width */
font: 100% verdana, arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
min-width: 500px;
max-width: 600px;
width: 560px;
}
form fieldset {
/* clear: both; note that this clear causes inputs to break to left in ie5.x mac, commented out */
border-color: #000;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
padding: 10px; /* padding in fieldset support spotty in IE */
margin: 0;
}
form fieldset legend {
font-size: 1.1em; /* bump up legend font size, not too large or it'll overwrite border on left */
/* be careful with padding, it'll shift the nice offset on top of border */
}
form label {
display: block; /* block float the labels to left column, set a width */
float: left;
width: 150px;
padding: 0;
margin: 5px 0 0; /* set top margin same as form input - textarea etc. elements */
text-align: right;
}
form input, form textarea {
/* display: inline; inline display must not be set or will hide submit buttons in IE 5x mac */
width: auto; /* set width of form elements to auto-size, otherwise watch for wrap on resize */
margin: 5px 0 0 10px; /* set margin on left of form elements rather than right of
label aligns textarea better in IE */
}
textarea {
overflow: auto;
}
/* uses class instead of div, more efficient */
form br {
clear: left; /* setting clear on inputs didn't work consistently, so brs added for degrade */
}
-->
</style>
<div id="pnlSubmitComments">
<form>
<fieldset>
<label for="Comments">
Name:
</label>
<input id="Name" name="Name" type="text" value="" /><br />
<label for="Comments">
Email:
</label>
<input id="Email" name="Email" type="text" value="" /><br />
<label for="Comments">
Questions:
</label>
<textarea id="Comments" name="Comments">
</textarea><br />
<label for="spacing"></label>
<input id="btnSubmitComments" name="btnSubmitComments" type="submit" value="Submit Questions" />
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
Now to your main question. I would do it as follows:
I would use the id's of the different layout columns I want to use the form in. So if I use it in my main column () I would write CSS accordingly like so:
#main .pnlSubmitComments form fieldset {
/*your CSS*/
}
and for the side column respectively
#side .pnlSubmitComments form fieldset {
/*your CSS*/
}
You can have control over each element by assigning classes like so:
<input type="text" class="email" name="email" id="email" />
and then you do exactly as described above:
#main .email {
/*your css for the .email textbox/*
}
You can easily do it with one css file, if you can add a style class on a container element.
For example, page 1 would have the following html:
<body class="page1">
<!-- repeated html here -->
<input />
</body>
And on page 2 you'd have:
<body class="page2">
<!-- repeated html here -->
<input />
</body>
In your single css file you can target the input tags based on the class of the body element:
body.page1 input { width: 25%; }
body.page2 input { width: 50%; }
So, you keep the html the same, just change the class (or id) of a container element, and use that to write different css rules.
Update: After rereading your list, i see this is more or less on your list as number 4. I think this is a good option if you can use it. I also use it to target different browsers, by adding a class indicating the browser on a body tag.
1) Use common css and set some of the values like width in code behind.
2) Create multiple css files for different needs and link right css to page using code behind.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you!
CSS-GRID with grid-template-areas is a fantastic way to do this!
You can name regions and then switch the css with responsive media queries and change the layout without ever having to rearrange the HTML.
