How to make Bootstrap readonly input field look like normal text? - css

I have a field in my html page like this:
<input type="text" class="form-control" readonly>
I would like it to look like normal text between <p> tags. Please help me CSS wizards.

you can try this
CSS
input[readonly]{
background-color:transparent;
border: 0;
font-size: 1em;
}
if you want to use with a class you can try this one
HTML
<input type="text" class="form-control classname" value="Demo" readonly />
CSS
input[readonly].classname{
background-color:transparent;
border: 0;
font-size: 1em;
}
if you want to make the <input> look like inline text (resizing the input element) please check this fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/Tanbi/xyL6fphm/ and please dont forget calling jquery js library

I realise the question is about Bootstrap 3, but it might be good to know that Bootstrap 4 now has this out of the box: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/forms/#readonly-plain-text
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="staticEmail" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" readonly class="form-control-plaintext" id="staticEmail" value="email#example.com">
</div>

in addition to the accepted answer, I found that the following style works a bit better:
input[readonly] {
background-color: transparent;
border: 0;
box-shadow: none;
}
Bootstrap introduces a shadow that one may want to hide.

<input type="text" placeholder="Show your text" readonly style="border: 0px;" />
That should work

Bootstrap 5 has form-control-plaintext class for that:
<input type="text" readonly class="form-control-plaintext" id="email"/>

Styling option tags

I have a drop down that contains options. I would like to partially break & bold some text as well as insert context breaks. I tried using CSS as well as HTML tags but I'm unable to get it. Can someone please suggest a solution?
Thanks in advance
I know this question is a bit old (or not new at least), but I'd like to show a very simple way to emulate a select element rather than using a "replacement plugin" as suggested in How to style the option of a html “select”?.
There are probably many, MANY ways to do this, but I try to keep things extremely simple, so my method of emulation only uses CSS. It is rather bare bones, but I'd like to point out that it is not a complicated thing to do so you might not need a plug in to do it.
Note1: Instead of using <option>, I used <label>. Since <label> is an interactive element, putting something interactive inside (like a <button>) would probably mess it up. Options are normally non-interactive anyway, but just be aware that this simple emulation can't do everything.
Note2: If you want to be able to select multiple options, just do a search for "radio" and replace with "checkbox".
Emulating Select Using Radio - No Collapse
input[type="radio"] {
display: none;
}
input[type="radio"]:checked + label {
background-color: black;
color: #28AADC;
}
/* none functional styles. just regular styling */
.radio_select {
background-color: #28AADC;
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="radio_select">
<div>
<input id="rad1" type="radio" name="radio_select" />
<label for="rad1">Option 1</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="rad2" type="radio" name="radio_select" checked="checked" />
<label for="rad2">Option 2</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="rad3" type="radio" name="radio_select" />
<label for="rad3">Option 3</label>
</div>
</div>
Radio select emulation - with collapse
Note: this won't work for mobile devices since it uses :hover.
input[type="radio"] {
display: none;
}
/* style this to your heart's content */
input[type="radio"] + label {
display: none;
}
input[type="radio"]:checked + label {
background-color: black;
color: #28AADC;
display: inline-block;
}
.radio_select:hover label {
display: inline-block;
}
/* none functional styles. just regular styling */
.radio_select {
background-color: #28AADC;
display: inline-block;
}
<!-- NOTE: This technique uses hover, so it won't work for mobile devices.
I couldn't think of a pure CSS way to solve that. Sorry. -->
<div class="radio_select">
<div>
<input id="rad1" type="radio" name="radio_select" />
<label for="rad1">Option 1</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="rad2" type="radio" name="radio_select" />
<label for="rad2">Option 2</label>
</div>
<div>
<input id="rad3" type="radio" name="radio_select" checked="checked" />
<label for="rad3">Option 3</label>
</div>
</div>

Checkbox Label overlapping the checkbox - Bootstrap3

I am using bootstrap 3 & the issue is that label for the checkbox is overlapping the text. I have tried a few thing things but did not work, so if someone can help I will really appreciate it. This is what the code looks like, The class of the form is form-horizontal
<div class="checkbox">
<label class="checkbox-inline no_indent">I have read and agree with privacy and disclosure policy.
<input name="Terms" id="Terms" type="checkbox" ></label>
</div>
It's supposed to be like this with Bootstrap, <input> first and text after. http://jsfiddle.net/sqax02ah/
<div class="checkbox">
<label class="checkbox-inline no_indent">
<input name="Terms" id="Terms" type="checkbox">
I have read and agree with privacy and disclosure policy.
</label>
</div>
You can follow other answers if you do need the checkbox appears at the end.
In Bootstrap the styles expect thecheckbox to be first and then the text and hence a margin-left: -20px is set. For you snippet you need to add custom styles.
.radio input[type=radio], .radio-inline input[type=radio], .checkbox input[type=checkbox], .checkbox-inline input[type=checkbox] {
margin-right: -20px;
margin-left: 0;
}
Fiddle
Try use display: inline-block for .checkbox class, its should to help. Or change position via margin margin-left: 20px;

Make form elements disabled or readonly by wrapping them with something?

Is it possible in an HTML form to mark several input elements as readonly or disabled by wrapping them with something?
I know you can set the form itself as disabled for example, but that of course disabled the whole form. I'm thinking something like:
<form>
<input name="not-readonly">
<div readonly="readonly">
<input name="readonly-field-1">
<input name="readonly-field-2">
</div>
<input type="submit">
</form>
Or could this be solved with CSS somehow? Or maybe only with Javascript?
Just found out that you can disable a group of form elements using the fieldset tag. However, it seems to be slightly buggy in certain versions of IE. There also is no support for the readonly attribute, which unfortunately was the one I needed in this case... maybe it'll be added later?
<form>
<input name="not-disabled">
<fieldset disabled>
<input name="disabled-field-1">
<input name="disabled-field-2">
</fieldset>
<input type="submit">
</form>
I'm assuming you know how to disable inputs in the regular way based on the fact that you have 34k rep.
<input disabled="disabled" type="text" name="something"/>
Easily done with jquery of course (example based on your markup)
$('div[readonly="readonly"]').find('input').attr('disabled','disabled');
You can't actually disable an input with css, but you can fake a disabled input with css like:
.fakeinput {
padding: 4px;
font-family: monospace;
font-size: .8em;
color: #aaa;
border: #999 1px solid;
background: fff;
border-radius: 1px;
margin: 5px 0;
box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px #ddd;
}
<p class="fakeinput">Pretend Value</p>
javascript
document.getElementById("myText").disabled = true;
CSS
<INPUT NAME="realname" VALUE="Hi There" readonly>
<INPUT NAME="realname" VALUE="Hi There" disabled>

CSS - Place Validation Message Below Element - MVC 3

All,
I need to have any input validation messages display below the element instead of next to it. The base CSS file puts a margin-bottom = 19px on the <input /> element so I need to offset this because if I don't the message gets inserted 19px below the input element.
Example:
http://jsfiddle.net/L28E7/2/
ASP.NET is generating all of the HTML so I am hamstrung somewhat in terms of what I can do.
I can access the .field-validation-error class and override it so that's what I did.
My CSS works (In FireFox at least) and produces the following:
I had to use negative margin-top to get the message right under the element, which I am not happy with.
How can I improve this?
Thank you!
The CSS
div .field-validation-error {
color: #C1372A !important;
display: block;
font-weight: normal !important;
margin-top: -19px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
The HTML
<div>
<label for="NewClub.NewClubName">Name your club!!!</label>
<span class="required">*</span>
</div>
<input type="text" value="" name="NewClub.NewClubName" id="NewClub_NewClubName" data-val-required="Please provide your club with a name." data-val="true" class="text-box single-line">
<span class="field-validation-valid" data-valmsg-replace="true" data-valmsg-for="NewClub.NewClubName"></span>
if this is how your HTML looks after the creating of inline error message
<input type="text" value="" name="NewClub.NewClubName" id="NewClub_NewClubName" data-val-required="Please provide your club with a name." data-val="true" class="text-box single-line">
<span class="field-validation-error" data-valmsg-replace="true" data-valmsg-for="NewClub.NewClubName">heloo hell</span>
Then use the below css. This will automatically put your message below the text box
.field-validation-error {
color: #C1372A !important;
display: block;
font-weight: normal !important;
}
Here is the fiddle

Change text location in CSS

I'm currently using following login form where I want to change the design a bit:
http://html-form-guide.com/php-form/php-login-form.html
I want to place ' Login ' into the middle of the box, instead the left:
I've also found out that you can change the textsize, font etc. in fg_membersite.css (line 17). What's interesting is that in Chrome it IS displayed in the middle, only in Firefox it's shown on the left. Since I'm a new CSS worker I wanted to ask if anybody could help me fixing this incompatiblity problems here.
Since it also contains lots of Javascript based stuff I wasn't sure if I posting source codes here would be sensible, because I'd have to post the whole source anyway then.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Much prettier now. Thanks:

Use this for the center text part:
<form id='login' action='login.php' method='post' accept-charset='UTF-8'>
<fieldset >
<legend align="center">Login</legend>
<input type='hidden' name='submitted' id='submitted' value='1'/>
<label for='username' >UserName*:</label>
<input type='text' name='username' id='username' maxlength="50" />
<label for='password' >Password*:</label>
<input type='password' name='password' id='password' maxlength="50" />
<input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Submit' />
</fieldset>
</form>
I guess you've changed the HTML code but note the: <legend align="center">Login</legend>
align="center"
http://jsfiddle.net/4szBC/
EDIT:
Since it seems like align is deprecated you, can do this using by using css.
legend {
text-align: center;
}
If you want the css right in HTML, add it in a <script> tag and place it in <head>. Like this:
<script type="text/css">
legend {
text-align: center;
}
</script>
http://jsfiddle.net/4szBC/1/
add to submit button few CSS rules:
input[type=submit] {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px 30px;
}
