I have a Submit Button like this:
<input type="submit" data-corners="false" id="code_check_button" tabindex="5" data-rel="external" value="GO">
which - with a custom css theme - outputs this: http://sht.tl/59y3m
Now I would like to use the id (#code_check_button) to style the button with more specificity.
Unfortunately jquerymobile automagically transforms the input type submit in a snippet of code I cannot control: http://sht.tl/cQq
As you can note, the original button ID is useless...
Can you tell me how may I custom style that button (of course, without wrapping it in an extra tag...)?
Thank you!
Numerous ways this can be achieved..
Here are a few examples:
submit {
styles:styles;
}
Not the most compatible in older browsers:
input[type="submit"] {
styles:styles;
}
Then you can target the ID:
#code_check_button {
styles:styles;
}
In your stylesheet add the ID #code_check_button and provide the desired style you want.. see example below :-
#code_check_button {
your desired style properties here...
}
EDIT:
You can use the class of the generated div and style the button accordingly. In this generated snippet you have two elements to style. please find below :-
.ui-btn {
style properties here...
}
.ui-btn .ui-btn-text {
style properties here...
}
CSS
#code_check_button {
color:#000 !important;
width:200px !important;
}
You can see I have added !important tag in all the css properties. This is because of overwritten the jQ mobile default styles.
If something keeps changing your intended css into useless code, this may be a situation where you would resort to simple text (eg. nano for mac or notepad for windows) Web design programs are double edged swords, most of the time the bells and whistles on these programs help make things easier, but sometimes they can make things more complicated. To custom style a button all you have to do is put your id or class selector name in the input tag and then enter the css for it. For example
CSS
#code_check_button { background-image: url(/*desired image url*/);
background-color: /*desired background color*/;
color: /*desired font color*/; }
HTML
<input id="code_check_button" type="submit" name="submit">
Just try it in notepad this time.

i have this search bar in my application which i want to modify:
Right now the "X"-Icon is visible from the beginning even tho it does nothing before an input was done, so i want to make it appear AFTER the user starts entering text.
The icon is a SVG i added and styled seperatly.
I don't realy know how i can do this, i thought its easy and i can just use something like "::after" but it seems that this it not possible with input fields.
Ps.: im an absolute beginner in CSS so please have mercy.
Best way to achieve your requirement would be to have different classes which shows/hides the icon by checking when input is not empty in JS.
If you want to achieve without using JS you can target the adjacent button element when the input is focussed and add ::before pseudo element and style it.
input:focus+button:before {
content: "X";
position: absolute;
left: 0;
color: red;
}
It's not possible with CSS. You would have to use Javascript.
Javascript
// set the id of the x button to x-button
// set the id of the input field to input
var x_button = document.getElementById("x-button");
var input = document.getElementById("search-input");
input.oninput = function(){
if(this.value) x_button.classList.add("visible");
else x_button.classList.remove("visible");
}
CSS
.x-button { display:none;}
.visible {display:block;}
it is possible if you wanna do it using only css.
#Search{
font-size:22px;
color:green;
background-image:url('images/search.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;outline:0;
}
#Search::-webkit-search-cancel-button{
position:relative;
right:20px;
}
<input id="Search" name="Search" type="search" placeholder="Search" />
How to customize the Semantic UI buttons(background-color, border-radius and all)
<button class="ui button create-new-menu-btn">Create New Menu</button>
. create-new-menu-btn {
border-radius: 0;
background-color: red;
}
The above code is not working
You need to make your custom properties more specific than the ones semantic is using. How specificity works (simply) is that when there are competing property values on the same element, the one that is more "specific" is chosen.
Read this to know more about CSS specificity: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity
For your particular problem:
One way to make your custom CSS more specific is to use an id in the body tag of your page and use the following selector:
Method 1
#bodyid .create-new-menu-btn {
//Properties
}
Another way is to simply add an id to the element you want to select
Method 2
#create-new-menu-btn {
}
Method 1 is preferred when you want to apply the properties on multiple elements (hence the use of a class) (Like multiple comment buttons on a page)
Method 2 is preferred when there is a single element to be selected. (Like a login/signup button in the header)
You can also add semantic ui's classes before your own for specificity.
For example : if your className is .create-new-menu-btn you can add in css or scss before ui.button or any other semantic ui specific clas that you neeed. So in the end, your class definition in css would look like this:
ui.button.create-new-menu-btn {
....
}
If using JSX, you can use inline styling for the targeted elements
Example:
<Button style={{backgroundColor: 'red', borderRadius: 0}}> View Created </Button>
#bodyId .ui.create-new-menu-btn {
border-radius: 0;
background-color: red;
}
It will target all button with ui class.
Hope It will be useful :)
Put .ui.button infront of your class name create-new-btn. It should look like below
.ui.button.create-new-btn {
//Your css code
}
Then in your html/jsx template you can use the class name create-new-btn like below:
<Button class="create-new-btn"/>
or for Jsx
<Button className="create-new-btn"/>
Please find the code here
I toggle a class min upon button click. To show this the color is toggled. Is there a way to add an icon to the button, which toggles for example between: icon-double-angle-right and icon-double-angle-left. I linked Font-Awesome CDN. I only care about recent browser, so mainly looking for pseudo elements based sol.
You can achieve this with pseudo attributes :
CSS :
btn.min { background:red; }
.btn:after {
content: attr(data-active-icon);
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
}
.btn.min:after {
content: attr(data-inactive-icon);
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
}
HTML :
<button class="btn" ng-class="{min: min}" ng-click="toggle()" data-active-icon='' data-inactive-icon=''></button>
Where your data-active-icon and data-inactive-icon is taken from this table.
Demo : http://jsbin.com/ariwij/1/edit
I haven't included bootstrap in the demo, but it will integrate just fine.
Make your HTML like this: <button class="btn" ng-class="{min: min}" ng-click="toggle()"><span class="arrow-left"></span></button>
Then use javascript or jquery to replace the class on the <span> with a different class on toggle. Then make your two CSS class rules, one with background image for your left facing arrow, one for your right facing arrow, or whatever the stylistic thing it is you want to achieve.
consider that your button is #butt:
$("#butt").click(function(){
$(this).toggle('red');
})
and CSS:
.red{
color:red;
}
To toggle an icon via class, have a look here:

Just learning .less and using twitters bootstrap in my project.
If i whant an green button for an form to submit i have to write:
<input type="submit" value="submit" class="btn btn-success" />
But i will be able to skip the class attribute in the input tag.
I will not change the twitter bootstrap file. I will overload them in my default.less file like this:
button, input[type="submit"]{ .btn; .btn-success; }
But then I do not get the hover state and active state to the button and i get errors if i try to make it like this:
button, input[type="submit"]{/* previus code... */ &:hover{ .btn:hover; }}
You may notice what i trying to accomplish. I know I can do this in jquery or javascript but i will be able to do this in my .less-file whitout touching orginal bootsrap-files.
I'm not sure that that is possible without modifying the Bootstrap CSS.
Are you able to modify the bootstrap CSS at all? If so, you could add a .btn-hover class to .btn:hover, and then in button, input[type="submit"]:
&:hover {
.btn-hover;
.btn-success-hover;
}
.btn and .btn-success are classes. These classes are define in buttons.less. They call mixin from mixins.less called .buttonBackground. You can call this mixin for your buttons:
button, input[type="submit"]{
.buttonBackground(#startColor,#endColor);
}
#startColor and #endColor are for button gradient and the hover state uses the #endColor.
Or you can change colour in variables.less (btnInfoBackgroundHighlight) to your own.
Or you can use
.btn-success{
&:hover{
background-color: #yourOwnColor;
}
}
Is there a way that I can select a textarea such that $('#id_of_textarea').val() in jQuery will be ''? I tried using :empty. I saw that CSS provides a way to select empty inputs because the text is in the value attribute ([value=""]). Is there an attribute for the text in a textarea?
I'm looking for a selector that will work with CSS, not just jQuery.
Best solution I can think of is a CSS 3 workaround. Set the field to required (and unset it on submit if need be). Then you can use
textarea:invalid { /* style here... probably want to remove box-shadow and such */ }
this works in recent browsers except edge (at the moment):
textarea:placeholder-shown {
/* this should be active only when area is empty and placeholder shown */
}
so with jQuery for example you can pick all empty textareas:
$('textarea:placeholder-shown').val()
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/:placeholder-shown
If you're using React, then this is the solution:
textarea:not(:empty) {
// Apply css here
}
For instance,
/* Apply style when textarea contains text */
textarea:not(:empty) {
border: 6px solid blue;
padding: 6px;
}
Working demo:
Textarea - Select empty textarea using CSS
Note: While this works perfectly in React (because of re-painting caused by state update), It does not provide the same response if implemented using Vanilla HTML + CSS.
This works fine, as with input:
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" class="authority_body-input" data-val="{$form.comment}" onkeyup="this.setAttribute('data-val', this.value);">
textarea.authority_body-input:not([data-val=""]):not(:focus) {
color: red;
}
You can use the :empty css pseudo-class.
See an example in jsfiddle.
In the example there is a button for dynamically add new empty textareas to the DOM, so you can see that the new elements also are affected with the pseudo-class.
The code in the example was tested in Firefox 5.0, Opera 11.50 and Chromium 12.
Also, you can see a good description for the :empty pseudo-class here.
For those who are using AngularJS, you can use ng-class in your view to add a class to your textarea to know if it is empty or not.
HTML :
<textarea ng-model="myForm.myTextArea"
ng-class="(myForm.myTextArea.length)?'not_empty':'empty'">
</textarea>
CSS :
textarea.empty {
background-color:red;
}
textarea.not_empty {
background-color:blue;
}
Here is a jsfiddle.
