Jquery Mobile & Jquery UI CSS issue - css

Ok, im NOT a desginer and my CSS skills suck.
So I have a styling issue with buttons\submit
On most of my pages im using jquery mobile and jquery UI.
The problem is I want to apply jquery mobile style to particular buttons\submit and not jquery UI.
So by default jquery UI is applying its style to the button, but I want to use jquery mobile.
<input type="submit" value="Save">
how to tell that submit to use jquery mobile css? (I still need to use both styles on the page, just want to tell the button to use the mobile style)

You must read the documentation for buttons.
As per the documentation, all following code will generate jQuery mobile style button
Anchor
<form>
<button>Button</button>
<input type="button" value="Input">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
If it is not working, the reference to the jquery-UI would be the culprit.

Have your tried:
<input type="button" value="Input">
If it does not work, you might have an issue somewhere else on the page.

Radio Button and Checkbox wonky behavior in Google Chrome

Within the past few months, Google has updated Chrome and I think has broken radio buttons and checkboxes on my website. I'm using version 31.0.1650.63
They work correctly in all other browsers I've tried (FF, Safari, IE9 & IE10). I haven't modified my CSS at all the last few months, so that's why I think it's an issue with Google Chrome.
I've created a simple jsFiddle that shows the behavior I'm talking about (and an external link to my CSS file):
http://jsfiddle.net/v22WB/
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="male">Male<br>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="female">Female<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">I have a bike<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car">I have a car
I've used Chrome's dev tools to disable all styles from the stylesheet but with no luck.
I'm using Twitter Bootstrap 2.0.2, but when I reference that file by itself, the radio buttons and checkboxes are normal. Any ideas?
You've got this line in your stylesheet:
html body *:focus{outline-color:transparent;outline-style:none;-webkit-appearance:none}
The -webkit-appearance:none means input elements that have focus (ie a selected radio box or checkbox) aren't being displayed as input elements visually. See this link about customizing input styles. Take that out and your checkboxes should be back to normal.

jQuery Mobile Radio fieldset has different styling

These two jQuery Mobile checkboxes have different styling, however I believe I am creating them in very similar ways. The top boxes I am appending dynamically, where as the bottom box is hardcoded. Does anybody know why this is this discrepancy in styles?
Div to hold fieldset
<fieldset id="surveyViewer" data-role="controlgroup">
</fieldset>
Appending radio buttons
$('#surveyViewer').append('<legend>Survey Preview:</legend><input type="radio" name="options" id="1" value="1" /><label for="1">1</label><input type="radio" name="options" id="2" value="2" /><label for="2">2</label>');
This line to refresh styling:
$('#surveyViewer').trigger("create");
$("input[type='radio']").checkboxradio("refresh");
All of your CSS is not being applied when you are dynamically loading the top two.
Add .trigger("create") on the element that gets the content added to.
See here: jQuery Mobile does not apply styles after dynamically adding content
UPDATE
However, if you generate new markup client-side or load in content via
Ajax and inject it into a page, you can trigger the create event to
handle the auto-initialization for all the plugins contained within
the new markup. This can be triggered on any element (even the page
div itself), saving you the task of manually initializing each plugin
(listview button, select, etc.).
For example, if a block of HTML markup (say a login form) was loaded
in through Ajax, trigger the create event to automatically transform
all the widgets it contains (inputs and buttons in this case) into the
enhanced versions. The code for this scenario would be:
$( ...new markup that contains widgets... ).appendTo( ".ui-page" ).trigger( "create" );
UPDATE #2
// HTML
<a id="myButton" href="" data-role="button" data-theme="e">Add Radio</a>
<div id="radiodiv1">
<fieldset id="surveyViewer" data-role="controlgroup"></fieldset>
</div>
// JS
$( "#myButton" ).bind( "click", function(event, ui) {
$("#surveyViewer").append('<legend>Survey Preview:</legend><input type="radio" name="options" id="1" value="1" /><label for="1">1</label><input type="radio" name="options" id="2" value="2" /><label for="2">2</label>');
$("#radiodiv1").trigger("create");
});
I created a JSfiddle to illustrate a solution. I did all this on my iPad (you're welcome) so if this works for you, PLEASE at least mark it as the correct answer lol. Here's the link (based on adding the radio buttons via a button click)

What is -ms-clear equivalent in WebKit and Mozilla?

As shown here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/Hh465498
Do Mozilla and Webkit have equivalent options? The clear button on text inputs is good for touch screen apps. I don't want any JavaScript workarounds and an easy CSS fix would be very helpful.
I already know this is possible with JavaScript, but IE 10 has an inbuilt solution for displaying clear button, and I'm wondering if any other browsers have similar options?
The short answer is No.
There is no way to use CSS to generate a button that will clear the contents of an input without the use of JavaScript.
The clear button is built in functionality to IE10. -ms-clear is not what generates it, but simply a way to target it for styling.
I should mention though, that the <input type=search>​ field in Chrome will give you a clear button as well, but not on normal <input type=text>​ fields.
Was looking for same issue so I made a jQuery plugin (TextClear) to offer the same feature :
here is the download link
and about trick behind this:
set background image on input text field and position it to the right corner like
{
background-image: url('imagesUrl');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right center;
background-size: 10% 90%;
padding-right: 1%;
}
And then handling click event on it by mapping its position (you can check the source code as well for detailed logic)
You cannot actually do this using css..
But you can user jQuery, and its simple. All you gotto do is this...
HTML code:
<form id="myform" method="post">
<input type.... />
<input type.... />
<input type.... />
<input type="button" id="clear" name="clear" />
</form>
jQuery Code:
$("#clear").click(function(){
$("#myform").reset();
});
And this will work.. But the form tag is necessary.
Y U NO like Javascript? Look how easy jQuery makes this process:
Markup
<form>
<input type="text">
<button>X</button>
</form>
jQuery
$("form").on("click", "button", function() {
$("input").val("");
return false;
});​​​​​

With CSS, you can style the button and position it appropriately to mimic the "x" in the metro interface almost exactly.

Changing CSS class on wizard navigation div

I have a load of wizard controls and I need to slightly modify the html it is spitting out around the navigation. Currently I have the below..
<div class="nav">
<input type="submit" value="Back" class="secondary" id="FinishPreviousButton" name="FinishPreviousButton">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" class="primary" id="FinishButton" name="FinishButton">
</div>
I have added my desired classes to the buttons, primary and secondary, but i cant seem to work out how to change the containing div's class from nav. I've already tried .NavigationStyle.CssClass but that isnt doing the trick.
Any ideas?
My bad, NavigationStyle.CssClass was getting overridden. Sorted now.

Wrapping submit button in label element for cross browser compatibility and styling

Hi all I have been looking around as I am fed up with the lack of compatibility for styling submit buttons.
I was looking at no other than facebook themselves source.
They do something like this:
<label class="uiButton uiButtonLarge Post">
<input type="submit" value="Post" />
</label>
They set the css display for the label as an inline-block and then set padding etc..
Is this the best way to do it?
Or is there an even better way?
Thanks!

This tutorials should be fine, sure they're not identical with FB but there are crossbrowser stylings to pure css. Hope that helps.
