What does Bootstrap's control-label class do? - css

What CSS formatting is applied to the <label> HTML element by the .control-label Bootstrap 3 class. (I also face difficulties locating that class using Chrome's devtools)
Moreover, in the official Bootstrap 3 documentation, .control-label seems to be used only in case of .form-horizontal. Is that true and why?

The control-label class is useful for validation states, that's why we need it in all labels even the fields bootstrap's documentation doesn't mention.
We can see it in the bootstrap source code when it is defining the has-success, has-warning, etc classes: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/bfb99413eefbbe2e8fbb1e477cbfa63ea7d36140/dist/css/bootstrap-rtl.css#L3242
As you can see, it uses the control-label class not the label element. If we remove the control-label we'll have an undesired effect of not coloring the label green.
Vertical form without control-label class and has-success on form-group:
<div class="form-group has-success">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="Enter email">
</div>
Using control-label class:
<label for="exampleInputEmail1" class='control-label'>Email address</label>
That's why I think it is better to keep it! Unless no color is the desired effect.

How to change the background color of a button in CSS?

So I'm trying to add some additional CSS on Wordpress and override the color of this form button but nothings happening. Am I entering the right code in here?
When I inspect the button this comes up...
<form id="mc4wp-form-1" class="mc4wp-form mc4wp-form-1527" method="post" data-id="1527" data-name="Get Started"><div class="mc4wp-form-fields"><div class="input-group">
<div class="input-icon"><i class="far fa-paper-plane"></i></div>
<input type="email" placeholder="Your email address" class="form-control" name="email" data-error="e-mail field is required" required="">
<button type="submit" value="Subscribe" class="item-btn">Subscribe</button>
</div></div><label style="display: none !important;">Leave this field empty if you're human: <input type="text" name="_mc4wp_honeypot" value="" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off"></label><input type="hidden" name="_mc4wp_timestamp" value="1635448917"><input type="hidden" name="_mc4wp_form_id" value="1527"><input type="hidden" name="_mc4wp_form_element_id" value="mc4wp-form-1"><div class="mc4wp-response"></div></form>
The reason why I've tried button.item-btn::before is because it shows this in the inspector
Try adding the CSS styling as inline with the button element.
Inline styling will override the styling from an external css file.
You can also try using the id selector id=mc4wp-form-1 in your form element to increase the css style specificity to help overwrite the default.
Your selector minus the pseudo-element should do the job.
Maybe there is another background-color definition for buttons in your stylesheets with higher specificity.
You could try raising the specificity of your selector like this:
#mc4wp-form-1 button.item-btn {
background-color: mycolor;
}

How implement validation in bootstrap 4 css? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
has-danger no longer working on Bootstrap v4 beta?
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I saw this example in the bootstrap 4 documentation:
https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/forms/#validation
<div class="form-group has-success">
<label class="form-control-label" for="inputSuccess1">Input with success</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-success" id="inputSuccess1">
<div class="form-control-feedback">Success! You've done it.</div>
<small class="form-text text-muted">Example help text that remains unchanged.</small>
</div>
<div class="form-group has-warning">
<label class="form-control-label" for="inputWarning1">Input with warning</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-warning" id="inputWarning1">
<div class="form-control-feedback">Shucks, check the formatting of that and try again.</div>
<small class="form-text text-muted">Example help text that remains unchanged.</small>
</div>
<div class="form-group has-danger">
<label class="form-control-label" for="inputDanger1">Input with danger</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-danger" id="inputDanger1">
<div class="form-control-feedback">Sorry, that username's taken. Try another?</div>
<small class="form-text text-muted">Example help text that remains unchanged.</small>
</div>
However, the edits are not colored
The documentation says that I have to load the CSS, but in CSS the class has-danger is missing
https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.0/css/bootstrap.min.css
Instead in the CSS of bootstrap 3, the class exists
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css
In fact if I use the css of bootstrap 3, the edits are colored
How can I use class has-danger in bootstrap 4?
I need to use css no Sass
The Class has-danger is no longer used in bootstrap4 (deprecated)
use is-invalid selector in the input and also include class="invalid-feedback" in your code
<div class="invalid-feedback">

How to create textbox with fixed label in Material Design Lite?

When I was reading the documentation in Material Design Lite's official page, no class name is mentioned for the fixed label with a textbox. In case of textarea they have a solution. But same code like the following one is creating only placeholder instead of a label for input type = "text".
<div class="mdl-textfield mdl-js-textfield">
<input class="mdl-textfield__input" type="text" id="sample5">
<label class="mdl-textfield__label" for="sample5">Text lines...</label>
</div>
I haven't seen this documented anywhere but it was annoying me so I delved into the SCSS to see what I could do. No changes to CSS are required. I managed to solve it by doing the following:
Add the mdl-textfield--floating-label has-placeholder classes to the outer <div> element.
Add a placeholder attribute to the <input> element, it can contain a value or remain empty; either way it will still work.
This will force the label to float above the input, instead of acting as a placeholder.
<div class="mdl-textfield mdl-js-textfield mdl-textfield--floating-label has-placeholder">
<input class="mdl-textfield__input" type="text" id="sample5" placeholder="">
<label class="mdl-textfield__label" for="sample5">Text lines...</label>
</div>

CSS, modifying label that is not adjacent to input on focus

I am currently trying to modify the CSS of a generated HTML page. I do not have access to run scripts on this page or change the base HTML.
The form has inputs and I am trying to create floating labels for them, which I typically do something like this:
<input id="email">
<label for="email">E-mail</label>
With CSS something like this:
input:focus + label { top: 100%; }
However the generated HTML is structured like this, with the label before the input and error blocks between:
<label for="email">Email Address</label>
<div aria-hidden="true" class="error itemLevel">
<p aria-live="polite" role="alert" tabindex="1">Please enter a valid email address.</p>
<input aria-required="true" id="email" title="Email address that can be used to contact you." type="text">
How would I target the label with pure CSS?
You can use an attribute selector:
label[for="email"] { ... }

How to select an element by refrencing the inside element of a nested class

For this html code, I want to select an element using CSS.
I need to select "Cvv2 required" by referencing validatedMessage. I was thinking of trying .validateMessage + .Cvv2.required .However, that didn't work. It seems "Cvv2 required" is after "CCNumber required". But I need to reference "validatedMessage" which is inside "CCNumber required". I don't even know thats the proper jargon to explain this relationship....
<div class="CCNumber required">
<label id="label">Credit Card Number:</label>
<input name="test" type="text" class="wrong">
<span class="validatedMessage">Required</span> <br>
</div>
<div class="Cvv2 required">
<a> What's this</a><br>
</div>
This is not currently possible with pure CSS.
You are looking for some kind of "contains" query, which is not available.
