I have a search input field, which has a backround set up like this:
background: #ededed url(https://static.tumblr.com/ftv85bp/MIXmud4tx/search-icon.png) no-repeat 9px center;
But, I would like to replace the image for an icon. I am using and have tried to do it like this:
input[type=search]:before {
font-family: 'Ionicons';
content: '\f2f5';
color: red;
}
This is the fiddle.
But, icon is not visible, what should I do?
:before and :after can be used on "container" elements only. An input is not a container, because it cannot "contain" other elements.
Wrap the input in a span, and apply the :before styles to it:
<span class="container"><input type="search" placeholder="Search"></span>
.container:before {
font-family: 'Ionicons';
content: '\f2f5';
color: red;
position: absolute;
}
Updated Fiddle
You can't use :before or :after on <input> on every browser!
But you can use a solution using a container for the <input>:
div span {
margin-left:-20px;
}
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ionicons/2.0.1/css/ionicons.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div>
<input type="text"/>
<span class="ion-search"></span>
</div>
You can also use a <label> surrounding the <input> for more accessability:
label[for="search"]:after {
font-family: 'Ionicons';
content: '\f2f5';
color: red;
margin-left:-20px;
}
label[for="search1"] span {
margin-left:-20px;
}
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ionicons/2.0.1/css/ionicons.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<label for="search">
<input id="search" name="search" type="text"/>
</label>
<!-- or -->
<label for="search1">
<input id="search1" name="search1" type="text"/>
<span class="ion-search"></span>
</label>
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

#media (min-width: 768px) {
.form-inline .inline-feedback {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.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="" />
Result
The complete list of unicode can be found in the The complete Font Awesome 4.6.3 icon reference
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;
background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABQAAAASCAYAAABb0P4QAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAADsMAAA7DAcdvqGQAAADbSURBVDhP5ZI9C4MwEIb7//+BEDgICA6C4OQgBJy6dRIEB6EgCNkEJ4e3iT2oHzH9wHbpAwfyJvfkJDnhYH4kHDVKlSAigSAQoCiBKjVGXvaxFXZnxBQYkSlBICII+22K4jM63rbHSthCSdsskVX9Y6KxR5XJSSpVy6GbpbBKp6aw0BzM0ShCe1iKihMXC6EuQtMQwukzPFu3fFd4+C+/cimUNxy6WQkNnmdzL3NYPfDmLVuhZf2wZYz80qDkKX1St3CXAfVMqq4cz3hTaGEpmctxDPmB0M/fCYEbAwZYyVKYcroAAAAASUVORK5CYII=);

<input class="search">

}
input.search {

}
<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);
}

<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-5">
<input type="text" id="date" class="form-control my-icon" placeholder="Select...">
</div>
</div>
I also have one decision for this case with Bootstrap 3.3.5:
<div class="col-sm-5">
<label for="date">
<input type="date" placeholder="Date" id="date" class="form-control">
</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>

</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 {

box-sizing: border-box;
}
.is-invalid-x {

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;">

JS Fiddle
I actually have 2 situation
1st where are inside fieldset and div as shown above and
2nd where are inside fieldset
span for 1st case are not getting rendered below text box
span for second are displayed properly
if you see my jsfiddle you shall understand what i am trying to explain
http://jsfiddle.net/dwWww/5/
Are you looking for this?
.float_left span {
display: block;
}
If you can use jquery, First you set display: none;
$(".float_left span").css("display","none");
But when you detect an error just do:
$(".float_left span").css("display","block");
Or just:
.addClass() //set display block
.removeClass() //set display none
Or:
$(".float_left span").text("Error!!");
and
$(".float_left span").text('');
Update:
.float_left span, #nominee_details span {
display: block;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/M8XQ6/
span is an inline element, you may want to use a block level element like div or p or set display:block to the span or put a <br/> just before the span.
I have a form where I gave the textfields a padding so it will be a bit bigger and nicer. Underneath the form I have a submit button.
The button and the textfields have a width of 100%, but the problem is, is that the button isn't fully 100% by that it isn't equally even in the width with the textfields. What am I doing wrong? Can't seem to "find" the issue
I have put it here http://jsfiddle.net/zrhB6/3/

I'm using unSemantic grid, but that shouldn't be a issue I think
To both CSS selectors, add:
box-sizing:border-box;
The reason is the default box sizing doesn't include padding and margins in the width, so you're getting 100% + padding + border + margin for the total width.
I am using a wrapper but I am pretty confused. I want the two resultbox divs to be in line with the submit div.
Take a look here:
http://jsfiddle.net/QtVwr/
What am I doing wrong?
I'm not very familiar with CSS.
Part of the problem is that there are issues with your HTML. Here's a start:
make sure all the divs are closed.
remove the floats from your css
add display:inline-block;
remove the inline styles from your HTML.
correct the .wrapper class to be .wrapper1 (matching the HTML)
So, this is more what you want, I assume:
.wrapper1 {
height:70px;
width: 800px;
background: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid grey;
color: #BDBDBD;
}
.resultbox {
width: 300px;
background: #ffffff;
color: #BDBDBD;
display: inline-block;
}
.submit {
height:15px;
width: 32px;
margin-top:10px;
background: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid;
color: #BDBDBD;
display: inline-block;
}
and the HTML
<div class="wrapper1">
<div class="resultbox" style="" >
<div class="locationresult" style="" form action="weezyresults.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="search" size="36" value="" style="" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="resultbox" style="" >
<div class="locationresult" style="" form action="weezyresults.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="search" size="36" value="" style="" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="resultbox" style="width:35px;" >
<div class="submit"></div>
</div>
</div>
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/QtVwr/2/
You will still need to fiddle with it. But this is a start.
To make div inline you should use the following CSS style:
.mydiv{ display: inline; }
Note: Change width of your wrapper (make it smaller) and you will see the results
There are several issues with the code you have provided.
you have defined css rules for a class wrapper but use class wrapper1 in your html
class wrapper doesn't have enough width for both of the result boxes plus the submit
There are extra quotes on the second result box style="margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 3px;""
form tags are malformed and being intertwined with your div tags
form tags aren't closed
locationresult div tag isn't closed
floats need to be cleared
here is a fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/e3dg6/
The width of your results boxes combined exceeds the width of your wrapper. You need to either make the wrapper wider or reduce the width on the resultboxes.
Why do you have the submit div within a resultbox div?
Why the margin-left:10px, only with the first div?
I'd do it like this:
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="resultbox"></div>
<div class="resultbox"></div>
<div id="submit"></div>
</div>
And set the width and height of the wrapper, and let the other divs float. It's just a longshot, not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish. I just think your nesting is not okay.
