I cannot get this work, looks like not possible, that's why i'm asking...
This is the CSS used:
label.btn {
cursor:pointer;
display:inline-block;
}
label.btn>input[type=checkbox] {
display:none;
}
label.btn>input[type=checkbox]:checked~b {
background:red;
}
/* not relevant, just for testing purpose */
#divtest {
margin-top:1500px
}
Following HTML code will check the input, and then style for <b> tag is applied:
<a href="#divtest" id="anchor">
<label class="btn">
<input type="checkbox"/><b>Click should scroll to '#divetest' element and check input for styling!</b>
</label>
</a>
DEMO styling
If i add attribute 'for' to the label to target the anchor tag, the default browser scrolling works, but then no more styling applied:
<label class="btn" for="anchor">
DEMO anchor
Now, the obvious question:
Can i get these both behaviours working together in pure CSS?
An input element inside an a violates common sense as well as HTML5 CR. Nesting two interactive elements raises the issue which element is activated on mouse click.
Instead of such construct, use valid and sensible HTML markup. Then please formulate the styling question in terms of desired or expected rendering vs. actual rendering, instead of saying that “this” “does not work”.
This won't work since the Input:checkbox is INSIDE the <label>. Browsers will set focus on the input upon a click on the label.

I was thinking that there's only two ways to focus element - using JavaScript, or in case it's a div with an contenteditable attribute. But this time I tried something different: I tried to effect input[type="text"] within a div (without contenteditable) using the parent.
I know that when a child element is focused, the parent is focused too - I mean, If I have the following example:
<form action="/" method="get">
<input type="text" placeholder="Hi I'm Text!" />
</form>
When I focus on the textbox, the form will be focused too. I can do the following:
form input[type="text"]:focus {
/* CSS goes here */
}
But I can not do something like this:
form:focus > input[type="text"] {
/* The same CSS goes here */
}
I already solved my own problem, but I wonder why it can not work this way. As I said (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) - when I focus on the input, I'm automatically focusing the parent element too (and it's own parent element, etc.) So why can't I simply use :focus on the parent, and then effect the child?
You can't focus on a form element. If you want, you can add it the tabindex attribute, such as <form tabindex="0">.
Forms are containers for controls and as such not expected to be getting direct user interaction.
According to W3C, users should interact with forms using controls.

I have a simple problem here. What I need to do is that I need to place a class after span in a button. Like if:
<button class="test-button">
<span>This is button</span>
</button>
<span class="custom"> I need to place this after Test button using :after </span>
So if its not clear, I need to place the custom class after the span of text-button class. I was trying to accomplish this by using
.test-button span:after {
content:attr([class=".custom"]);
}
but its not working ...
content:attr doesn't work quite like that; it fetches the value of an attribute, rather than setting one (see example). I believe you can't set an attribute in that way - you'll have to apply the individual properties of .custom in the :after declaration manually.
I'm working with Bootstrap's Typeahead and adding the input like so:
<div class="row">
<div class="span12">
<form class="centered">
<input id="main_search" type="text" class="search-query my-search" data-provide="typeahead">
</form>
</div>
</div>
I have the following CSS code which essentially just expands my search box to be "long" and in the middle of the span:
.centered {
text-align:center;
}
/* Make the main search box wider */
.my-search {
width: 80%;
}
My question is, when I use the Typeahead, the auto-completed results are only as long as they "have to be" to display the entire word/phrase whereas I want them to be as long as the actually input box. Basically like what you see on Google.com with their Instant Search functionality.
This closed issue suggests I should be able to manipulate the CSS to achieve what I want to do, but I'm not great at complex CSS and I'm struggling to get the inheritance just right to get any CSS to actually apply to the correct element. On top of that, I'm unsure how to make sure the dropdown-menu inherits the input's length (so that it'll work despite browser resizing).
Thanks for any help that you can provide!
Current code:
JSFiddle
Without you posting your code or a link to the working example, this is just a guess, but try this CSS
.my-search, .typeahead.dropdown-menu > li {
width: 80% !important;
}
I'm working with primefaces on a screen where I used calendar and autocomplete
I got the UI from the designer and started integration, I assigned styles like this
<p:calendar styleClass="xyz" />
the output is
<span id="bla" class="xyz" >
<input type="text" class="some other classes here" />
</span>
so my styles all fail
Now I need to apply styles on input directly instead of the spans
Can you solve it by rearranging your CSS?:
.xyz input {
/* some weird styling here */
}
This is problematic if you rely on Bootstrap CSS for example. Form controls needs the class form-control, but when you add styleClass="form-control" for p:calendar, the surrounding span gets the class instead of the input, which totally messes with the design. I think there should be a inputStyleClass attribute for the p:calendar tag, the same way there is a tableStyleClass tag for p:dataTable.
This worked for me using jQuery to add the form-control class to the input field:
$(".mycalendar input:first-child").addClass("form-control");
p:calendar id="date1" value="#{bean.date1}" styleClass="mycalendar" />
You can use this trick if you are using material design:
:host /deep/ .ui-inputtext{
/* Your Crazy Custom Style*/
}
I have this code that should show and hide element outputs according to specific checkboxes.
The output that I´ve got is that each checkbox, when clicked, shows more outputs than it should.
How can they be targeted using specific css IDs?
I mean, whan you click on each box, it should only appear the text that´s referencin that specific box, and not all of them.
Thanks for your insight!!

DEMO
/*styled relative to the label*/
label {display:block;}
label ~ div {display:none; margin-left:1em;}
/*targetting*/
/*boxes with id having this number will style a sibling div with this number*/
input[type="checkbox"][id*="131"]:checked ~ div[class*="131"] {display:inline;}
input[type="checkbox"][id*="134"]:checked ~ div[class*="134"] {display:inline;}
input[type="checkbox"][id*="130"]:checked ~ div[class*="130"] {display:inline;}
You can use the contains *= selector. I'm not sure what browser compatibility it has, but it works for me in Chrome. For instance changing the CSS for the first of the three checkboxes looks like this:
input[id*="131"]:checked ~ div[class="tipo-uf-131"] {display:inline;}
This is close to a perfect example of overthinking things and relying too heavily on CSS. Stylesheets are supposed to be in charge of presentation not functionality. CSS selectors can be complex enough that you could use it for validation checks - does not make it a good idea though :)
You're much better off relying on javascript to accomplish this and would end up with a significantly wider browser support matrix. Change your markup a bit:
<label>Box 1:</label> <input class="form-checkbox" id="cb131" type="checkbox"/>
...<input class="form-checkbox" id="cb134" type="checkbox"/>
...<input class="form-checkbox" id="cb130" type="checkbox"/>
<div id="cb131-linked"><b>Box 1 is checked.</b></div>
<div id="cb134-linked">...</div>
<div id="cb130-linked">...</div>
...and you can add a jQuery listener so that when the state of a checkbox is toggled, you can show the related divs like so:
$checkboxes = $(".form-checkbox");
$checkboxes.change(function(){
console.log("changed");
$checkboxes.each(function(){
$this = $(this)
$("#"+$this.attr("id")+"-linked").toggle($this.is(":checked"));
});
});

Also, inputs are supposed to be self-closing elements.
