How to put background image inside textbox - css

does anyone know how to put background image inside a textbox? i want to do is when i click the textbox it will change the background with an image.Does anyone know how to do that?
my current code wont work:
<input onfocus="this.style.background='images/activebutton.png'" />

CSS is the preferred method
CSS
<style>
input[type="text"]:focus{
background-image: url('images/activebutton.png');
}
</style>
HTML
<input type="text" />
If you still want to use JavaScript you need to do like this
<input type="text"
onfocus="this.style.backgroundImage='url(images/activebutton.png)';"
onblur="this.style.backgroundImage=''"
/>

<input class="changeonfocus"/>
CSS
.changeonfocus:focus{
background-image: url('image.png');
}
DEMO

<input type="text" class="litebox_input">
.litebox_input:focus {
background-image: url(images/edit.png);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
background-position:right;
}

Use some css styling:
inputBox{
background:url('images/activebutton.png');
}

To put a background image inside an input element you need to set background-image in CSS:
input {
background-image: url('image.png');
}
You can do it programmatically via JavaScript by adding/removing a class, or directly using this.style.backgroundImage. So here's an example:
<input id="i" type="text" />
var i = document.getElementById('i');
i.addEventListener('click', function() {
i.style.backgroundImage = "url('image.png')";
});

Is there any pure CSS way to hide only text in the [input=text], not the whole element?

Here is the code:
input[type=text] {display:none}
<input type="text" />
It would hide the whole input element.
Is there a way to keep the input element's out frame UI and just only hide its content without setting its value to "" by js.
Make the color transparent.
.value-hidden { color: transparent }
.value-hidden::selection { color:transparent; }
<input class="value-hidden" value="the hidden message">
This will work if your input value is not excessively long:
.value-hidden { text-indent: -99em; }
<input class="value-hidden" value="the hidden message">
Simply font-size:0 but you need to make sure to apply a width/height to the input.
input[type=text] {
font-size:0;
min-width:200px;
min-height:30px;
}
<input type="text" value="hello world">

CSS focus. Can't get it to change a label field

I am trying to get a focus on a field change the color of a text, but whatever I try: it is not working. Below is the HTML:
.register-section input:focus + .register-section label[for=signup_username] {
color: #ffffff !important;
}
<div class="register-section" id="basic-details-section">
<h4>Account Details</h4>
<label for="signup_username">Username (required)</label>
<input type="text" name="signup_username" id="signup_username" value="" />
</div>
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
The + adjacency operator can only be used to select DOM nodes following the initial selector (CSS selectors can only resolve in this direction). As such, because your label is before your input in your html, you cannot select it on the :focus state of the input using CSS.
To fix this, you will need to change your HTML to reverse the order of the elements, and adjust your CSS to change their display order, then select as appropriate:
.register-section label[for=signup_username] {
float: left;
}
.register-section input:focus + label[for=signup_username] {
color: #ffffff !important;
}
<div class="register-section" id="basic-details-section">
<h4>Account Details</h4>
<input type="text" name="signup_username" id="signup_username" value="" />
<label for="signup_username">Username (required)</label>
</div>
An alternative for those who wish to achieve the same result using jQuery, target the focus and blur events of the input field to change the color of the label:
$('#signup_username').on('focus blur', function(e){
var label = $("label[for=signup_username]");
if (e.type == 'focus'){
label.css('color','#FFF');
}
else {
label.css('color','#000');
}
});

jQuery Calendar's CSS font-size issue

The calendar dropdown in DatePicker is taking the font size of the document rather than the div inside which the DatePicker resides. How do we fix this?
We don't want to apply the font size manually on the Calendar, because our solution is customizable and we want to allow other widgets with dropdowns as well and so we cannot forsee all dropdowns that might be shown.
#datepickerParent
{
font-size:100px;
}
body
{
font-size:15px;
}
<div id="datepickerParent">
<input type="text" id="datepicker" />
</div>
<input type="text" id="dateInput" />
$(function () {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
$("#dateInput").datepicker();
})
the calendar always takes 15px as its font-size.
Here is the jsfiddle
Apply style to the ui-datepicker class or ui-widget class
.ui-datepicker{
font-size:10px;
}
Fiddle Demo
I think you can use the following code:
.ui-state-default
{
font-size:10px !important;
}

Replace input type=file by an image

Like a lot of people, I'd like to customize the ugly input type=file, and I know that it can't be done without some hacks and/or javascript. But, the thing is that in my case the upload file buttons are just for uploading images (jpeg|jpg|png|gif), so I was wondering if I could use a "clickable" image which would act exactly as an input type file (show the dialog box, and same $_FILE on submitted page).
I found some workaround here, and this interesting one too (but does not work on Chrome =/).
What do you guys do when you want to add some style to your file buttons? If you have any point of view about it, just hit the answer button ;)
This works really well for me:
.image-upload>input {
display: none;
}
<div class="image-upload">
<label for="file-input">
<img src="https://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/dtafalonso/android-lollipop/128/Downloads-icon.png"/>
</label>
<input id="file-input" type="file" />
</div>
Basically the for attribute of the label makes it so that clicking the label is the same as clicking the specified input.
Also, the display property set to none makes it so that the file input isn't rendered at all, hiding it nice and clean.
Tested in Chrome but according to the web should work on all major browsers. :)
EDIT:
Added JSFiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/c5s42vdz/
Actually it can be done in pure css and it's pretty easy...
HTML Code
<label class="filebutton">
Browse For File!
<span><input type="file" id="myfile" name="myfile"></span>
</label>
CSS Styles
label.filebutton {
width:120px;
height:40px;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
background-color:#ccc;
}
label span input {
z-index: 999;
line-height: 0;
font-size: 50px;
position: absolute;
top: -2px;
left: -700px;
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity = 0);
-ms-filter: "alpha(opacity=0)";
cursor: pointer;
_cursor: hand;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
}
The idea is to position the input absolutely inside your label. set the font size of the input to something large, which will increase the size of the "browse" button. It then takes some trial and error using the negative left / top properties to position the input browse button behind your label.
When positioning the button, set the alpha to 1. When you've finished set it back to 0 (so you can see what you're doing!)
Make sure you test across browsers because they'll all render the input button a slightly different size.
Great solution by #hardsetting,
But I made some improvements to make it work with Safari(5.1.7) in windows
.image-upload > input {
visibility:hidden;
width:0;
height:0
}
<div class="image-upload">
<label for="file-input">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/300x300.png?text=UPLOAD" style="pointer-events: none"/>
</label>
<input id="file-input" type="file" />
</div>
I have used visibility: hidden, width:0 instead of display: none for safari issue and added pointer-events: none in img tag to make it working if input file type tag is in FORM tag.
Seems working for me in all major browsers.
Hope it helps someone.
A much better way than writing JS is to use native,
and it turns to be lighter than what was suggested:
<label>
<img src="my-image.png">
<input type="file" name="myfile" style="display:none">
</label>
This way the label is automatically connected to the input that is hidden.
Clicking on the label is like clicking on the field.
You can replace image automatically with newly selected image.
<div class="image-upload">
<label for="file-input">
<img id="previewImg" src="https://icon-library.net/images/upload-photo-icon/upload-photo-icon-21.jpg" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;" />
</label>
<input id="file-input" type="file" onchange="previewFile(this);" style="display: none;" />
</div>
<script>
function previewFile(input){
var file = $("input[type=file]").get(0).files[0];
if(file){
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(){
$("#previewImg").attr("src", reader.result);
}
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}
}
</script>
I would use SWFUpload or Uploadify. They need Flash but do everything you want without troubles.
Any <input type="file"> based workaround that tries to trigger the "open file" dialog by means other than clicking on the actual control could be removed from browsers for security reasons at any time. (I think in the current versions of FF and IE, it is not possible any more to trigger that event programmatically.)
This is my method if i got your point
HTML
<label for="FileInput">
<img src="tools/img/upload2.png" style="cursor:pointer" onmouseover="this.src='tools/img/upload.png'" onmouseout="this.src='tools/img/upload2.png'" alt="Injaz Msila" style="float:right;margin:7px" />
</label>
<form action="upload.php">
<input type="file" id="FileInput" style="cursor: pointer; display: none"/>
<input type="submit" id="Up" style="display: none;" />
</form>
jQuery
<script type="text/javascript">
$( "#FileInput" ).change(function() {
$( "#Up" ).click();
});
</script>
I have had lots of issues with hidden and not visible inputs over the past decade sometimes things are way simpler than we think.
I have had a little wish with IE 5,6,7,8 and 9 for not supporting the opacity and thus the file input would cover the upload image however the following css code has resolved the issue.
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0)";
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
The following snipped is tested on chrome, IE 5,6,7,8,9,10 the only issue in IE 5 is that it does not support auto margin.
Run the snippet simply copy and paste the CSS and HTML modify the size as you like.
.file-upload{
height:100px;
width:100px;
margin:40px auto;
border:1px solid #f0c0d0;
border-radius:100px;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
}
.file-upload input{
position:absolute;
height:400px;
width:400px;
left:-200px;
top:-200px;
background:transparent;
opacity:0;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0)";
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
}
.file-upload img{
height:70px;
width:70px;
margin:15px;
}
<div class="file-upload">
<!--place upload image/icon first !-->
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dy62M.png" />
<!--place input file last !-->
<input type="file" name="somename" />
</div>
its really simple you can try this:
$("#image id").click(function(){
$("#input id").click();
});
You can put an image instead, and do it like this:
HTML:
<img src="/images/uploadButton.png" id="upfile1" style="cursor:pointer" />
<input type="file" id="file1" name="file1" style="display:none" />
JQuery:
$("#upfile1").click(function () {
$("#file1").trigger('click');
});
CAVEAT:
In IE9 and IE10 if you trigger the onclick in a file input via javascript the form gets flagged as 'dangerous' and cannot be submmited with javascript, no sure if it can be submitted traditionaly.
The input itself is hidden with CSS visibility:hidden.
Then you can have whatever element you whish - anchor or image.., when the anchor/image is clicked, trigger a click on the hidden input field - the dialog box for selecting a file will appear.
EDIT: Actually it works in Chrome and Safari, I just noticed that is not the case in FF4Beta
Working Code:
just hide input part and do like this.
<div class="ImageUpload">
<label for="FileInput">
<img src="../../img/Upload_Panel.png" style="width: 18px; margin-top: -316px; margin-left: 900px;"/>
</label>
<input id="FileInput" type="file" onchange="readURL(this,'Picture')" style="cursor: pointer; display: none"/>
</div>
form input[type="file"] {
display: none;
}

RUN SNIPPET or Just copy the above code and execute. You will get what you wanted. Very simple and effective without javascript. Enjoy!!!
<script type="text/javascript">
function upl() {
var fileSelector = document.createElement('input');
fileSelector.setAttribute('type', 'file');
fileSelector.setAttribute('name', 'uploimg');
fileSelector.setAttribute('accept', 'image/*');
fileSelector.click();
fileSelector.style.display = "none";
fileSelector.onchange = function() {
document.getElementById("indicator").innerHTML = "Uploaded";
};
document.getElementById("par_form").appendChild(fileSelector);
}
</script>
<form id="par_form">
<img src="image_url" onclick="upl()"><br>
<span id="indicator"></span><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
