I am trying to make two hyperlinked buttons go side by side. I saw this question but can not make the answers work. Below are my two attempts to make the buttons go side by side. The first attempt works but hyperlinks to the wrong location. The second one hyperlinks correctly but is not side by side. The third based on this question doesn't link anywhere but I think that has to do with using links instead of Javascript:submitRequests().

If you just need plain links to work, just use links and style them to look like buttons (see also Styling an anchor tag to look like a submit button):
<style>
.button {
appearance: button;
-moz-appearance: button;
-webkit-appearance: button;
text-decoration: none;
font: menu;
color: ButtonText;
display: inline-block;
padding: 2px 8px;
}
</style>
<div class="container">
paste2
colSplit text
</div>
You could also do <button>paste2</button> but this is not actually legal HTML5. FWIW, Firefox does seem to render it correctly though.
buttons would line up side by side automatically since they're display: inline-block by default (I think). I'd remove the float: left since it could be causing some issues when nesting.
You should never nest forms. It'll lead to some really screwy things.
However, if you want two forms side by side you can make them do that by adding display: inline to them. Here's a small demo: http://jsbin.com/UgaMiYu/1/edit
The onclick attribute should't make any difference at all.
I just tried to add css to attempt 2. how about this:
HTML:
<form action="http://trinker.github.io/qdap_dev/paste2.html" target="_blank">
<input type="submit" value="paste2"/></form>
<form action="http://trinker.github.io/qdap_dev/colSplit.html" target="_blank">
<input type="submit" value="colSplit"/>
</form>
CSS:
form{
float:left;
}
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/uzDZN/
NOTE: Add class to form which has this buttons. Otherwise css may effect other form elements in website.
Utilizing regular buttons and setting their display property to either inline or inline-block worked for me.

I'm a beginner at this. I have text and input buttons in a div on a tumblr theme, intending it to show up only on the homepage, but it shows up on all pages at the bottom. Is there a way to hide it for all others, set some sort of parameter, etc?
There is more than one way to achieve this. The easiest one is to add at the head section <style> #id, or .class {display: none}</style> you use either class or id or hide the div that contains them.
You could slice your page content like this:
There are three types of HTML models :
Layouts (or Templates, Grids), which represent a structure to hold Components.
Components (or Modules) which represent a sufficient and consistent auto part.
Contents (or Datas) which represent data could be found into HTML, JSON or MongoDB (database).
e.i.
<body class="layout-class">
<section class="component-class-1"></section>
<section class="component-class-2"></section>
<section class="component-class-3">
<input class="input" />
</section>
</body>
So if you have an input like this:
<body>
<div>
<input class="input" />
</div>
</body>
with this CSS
.input {
display: inline
}
you could only hide this on the homepage layout like this:
<body class="home">
<div>
<input class="input" />
<div>
</body>
and
.home .input {
display: none;
}
or only on the overview component
<body>
<div class="overview">
<input class="input" />
<div>
</body>
and
.overview .input {
display: none;
}
or only on overview into homepage, etc.
<body>
<div class="overview">
<input class="input" />
<div>
</body>
.homepage .overview .input {
display: none;
}
I'm trying to integrate an html page(which already has lots of formatting, links to css files, .js files etc) in to asp.net
The problem is that some of the styles used in the html refer to a form element, like this:
#Area form input[type="mytype"] {
content: '';
position: absolute;
display: block;
}
When I try to wrap this up in an asp.net page, it loses the formatting, because I need to put everything inside an asp.net 'form' with runat="server". The Css gets confused because it's now a form within and area within a form.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/all.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="uitest.aspx" id="form1">
<div class="aspNetHidden">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwUKLTUxMTcwNzgxMGRk/FKLdutHp78brNcMIqdbHqG7TcPZ3FoZf+HMkhw=" />
</div>
<div id="feature">
<div class="validate-form">
<span class="icon"></span>
<input class="required-email" type="email" placeholder="Email address">
<button class="btn"><span>Apply now</span></button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
What's the best way round this? Can I just rename 'form' to something else in the Css?
thanks
You should not have a nested form in a Web Forms app. If your CSS styles aren't being applied, your selector isn't targeting your elements properly or your selected has lower specificity than another selector with conflicting styles. runat=server has nothing to do with it, as that attribute is not actually rendered on the page.
Now, it appears you have an illegal type for your input. Based on your selector, you should have a structure something like:
<div id="Area">
...
<form>
...
<input type="mytype" /> //ILLEGAL!!
</form>
</div>
Why do you have a mytype input? You should only be using valid types, like text. Change them, and then add this:
#Area form input[type="text"]{
background-color:red !important; //This is just for testing, don't put into production!
}
If your inputs don't get a red background, then adjust to this:
form input[type="text"]{
background-color:red !important; //This is just for testing, don't put into production!
}
If you are still having trouble, actually paste your source code (click View Source from your browser, not Visual Studio).
UPDATE
Why do you have #Area in your selector? There is not element in your markup with that ID. This selector will work:
form input[type="email"]{ ... }
Assuming you don't need to be able to interact with the input elements in the page's code-behind file, it's perfectly acceptable to just use literal HTML controls in the page's markup.
Assuming, also, that you are allowed to tweak the CSS, you can remove form from your selectors, and then just make sure you copy everything into a <div> ... </div> with an id="Area" attribute.
CSS:
#Area input[type="whatever"] {
content: '';
position: absolute;
display: block;
}
HTML:
<div id="Area">
...
<!-- add markup here -->
...
</div>
The bootstrap examples for the navbar search form have just a text box.
I'd like to be able to add a search icon at the beginning, like Twitter does on their search box. How can I do this with bootstrap?
Here's what I've tried so far but it's failing:
http://jsfiddle.net/C4ZY3/3/
Here's how to use the :before pseudo selector and glyphicons for Bootstrap 2.3.2 instead of a background image on the input.
Here's a couple of simple examples: http://jsfiddle.net/qdGZy/
<style type="text/css">
input.search-query {
padding-left:26px;
}
form.form-search {
position: relative;
}
form.form-search:before {
content:'';
display: block;
width: 14px;
height: 14px;
background-image: url(http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/assets/img/glyphicons-halflings.png);
background-position: -48px 0;
position: absolute;
top:8px;
left:8px;
opacity: .5;
z-index: 1000;
}
</style>
<form class="form-search form-inline">
<input type="text" class="search-query" placeholder="Search..." />
</form>
Update For Bootstrap 3.0.0
Here's an updated fiddle for bootstrap 3.0: http://jsfiddle.net/66Ynx/
One of the way to do it is to add left padding to the field and add background image for the field.
See example: http://jsfiddle.net/hYAEQ/
It's not exact way twitter.com do it, they used absolute position element above search field because they have all images in the single sprite, and can't easily use them as backgrounds, but it should do.
I used inline image for a background to make it easier to post it to jsfiddle, but feel free to use normal links to images here.
EDIT: The way to do it using bootstrap sprite and additional container for icon
http://jsfiddle.net/hYAEQ/2/
EDIT 2:
Fix for white bootstrap theme: http://jsfiddle.net/hYAEQ/273/
EDIT 3:
If you are using navbar-inverse (black navbar) you will want this minor tweak: http://jsfiddle.net/hYAEQ/410/
.navbar-search .search-query {
padding-left: 29px !important;
}
Play this fiddle, I put some rosin on the bow for you:
http://jsfiddle.net/pYRbm/
.fornav {
position:relative;
margin-left:-22px;
top:-3px;
z-index:2;
}
<div class="navbar">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<form class="navbar-search">
<div class="input-append">
<input type="text" class="search-query span2" placeholder="Search…"><span class="fornav"><i class="icon-search"></i></span>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You can also not touch the css at all by using prepending form inputs like so
<form class="navbar-search">
<div class="input-prepend">
<span class="add-on"><i class="icon-search"></i></span><input name="url" type="text" class="span2" placeholder="Page Url">
</div>
</form>
Note that whitespace between </span> and <input> will create a gap between the icon and the text box.
In bootstrap 3.x.x
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="search">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i></span>
</div>
The new version 2.1.1 fixes the problem. It doesn't handle the case of the 15 pixel radius, so I went ahead and styled it accordingly. I also added navbar-inverse for fun.
A couple of caveats. The CSS can be better optimized, but recently I've been spoiled by less. Finally, there's an ever so slight, barely visible, left border to the left of the magnifying glass. I don't know exactly what's causing it, but it is likely the box shadow.
Please feel free to fork and improve.
http://jsfiddle.net/joelrodgers/hYAEQ/333/
For those using Rails, my solution is not the most beautiful but works.
<%= form_tag PATH_TO_MODEL, :method => 'get', :class => "navbar-search" do %>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search], :class => "search-query",
:style => "padding-left:29px" %>
<div class="icon-search" style="position:absolute;top:7px;left:11px;"></div>
<% end %>
Bit late to the party on this one ...
I used the following to achieve the search input as an icon
<div class="input-append">
<input id="appendedInputButton" class="span6" type="text" placeholder="Search...">
<button class="btn" type="button"><i class="icon-search"></i></button>
</div>
You should change your approach. Use span.search-query as an overlay - here you have the most important things:
.navbar-search { position: relative } /* wrapper */
.search-query { position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; z-index: 2; width: x } /* icon */
.span3 { position: relative; z-index: 1; padding-left: x } /* input */
Above is what I am trying to create as a login form (although there should be a mirror of 'login' after the right brace that says 'signup'). I'm having trouble getting the objects to line up horizontally as I wish. The second image (below) shows what I have. Yikes.
I obviously don't want the fieldset around it, but I our it there to try and group the username and password fields. Here is my code thus far. The HTML:
<head>
<meta content="en-us" http-equiv="Content-Language" />
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title>Login</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ STATIC_URL }}jquery1-6.4.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}login.css" type="text/css"/>
</head>
<script>
function login(){
if($('username').text === '') alert('Please enter your username');
else if($('password') === '') alert('Please enter your password');
$('loginForm').submit();
}
</script>
<body>
<img src="{{ STATIC_URL}}logo.png" class='center'>
<br/>
<span class='login_signup_button'>
<a title='click to login' onClick='login()'>
login
</a>
</span>
<form method = 'POST' action='login' id='loginForm'>
<fieldset>
<label for="username">username</label>
<input type="text" id="username" face="helvetica"/>
</br>
<label for="password">password</label>
<input type="password" id="password" face="AmericanTypewriter"/>
</fieldset>
</form>
<span class='login_signup_button' value='submit'>
<a title='signup for omnicloud' href='signup' class='login_signup_button'>
signup
</a>
</span>
</body>
and the CSS (which is imported into the HTML):
#font-face{
font-family:AmericanTypewriter;
src:url('AmericanTypewriter.TTF');
}
body{
background-color:rgb(48,94,255);
}
image.center{
/*display: block; */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width:500px;
}
/* Used for braces */
h1{
font-family:AmericanTypewriter;
font-size:234pt;
color:rgb(249,255,41);
}
/* Used for login, signup, username, password */
p{
font-family:AmericanTypewriter;
font-size:42pt
color:rgb(255,255,255);
}
fieldset{
border: 10px solid rgb(255,255,255);
width: 500px;
margin: auto;
}
a{
background-color:rgb(48,94,255);
font-family:AmericanTypewriter;
font-size:42pt
color:rgb(255,255,255);
}
.login_signup_button button{
background-color:rgb(48,94,255);
font-family:AmericanTypewriter;
font-size:42pt
color:rgb(255,255,255)
border-bottom:0;
border-right:0;
border-top:0;
border-left:0;
display:block;
}
.login_signup_button a:hover{
background-color:rgb(249,255,41);
color:rgb(48,94,255);
}
EDIT: updated code to fix the action of login, added js function, formatted labels for s
Something like this. (Just a rough start).
Note that I'm using an image for the brackets (not seen here). I don't know which version of American Typewriter you're using, but I doubt it will look that thin at that size, and it's probably not worth loading an entire weight of a typeface just for those two characters. Sometimes an image is just better, even though it might not seem as elegant.
Note that I'm a common image replacement technique for the logo. This is better for SEO that simply using an <img> with alt text. (Which you should always include if you choose that route instead.)
Edit: And if you do want to use the font for the brackets, you might try using CSS :before and :after pseudo-classes to add the content around the fieldset or whatever you use as your container for those form elements.
It appears you want to maintain grouping of fields which fieldset provides but not happy with the lines around those fields. If that is the case then you can mark filedset border as none.
fieldset {
border: none;
}
I believe what you are trying to do is to have the input field show next to your text label.
This is how i would write the HTML:
<body>
<img src="logo.png" class="center"/>
<div id="signin">
<form action="path-to-submit" method="post">
<label for="username-field">Username</label>
<input id="username-field" type="text" name="username"/><br/>
<label for="password-field">Password</label>
<input id="password-field" type="password" name="password"/><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Login"/>
Signup for Omnicloud
</form>
</div>
</body>
Because and are inline elements, they will show up next to each-other. Using the br tag will create a line-break for the next set of fields.
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;
}
