I have a form field box with class CCPPDisplayTD.
I'm trying to make it's length longer with CSS styling.
How do I use CSS to accomplish this?
<form>
<input type="text" /><br />
<input type="text" class="CCPPDisplayTD" />
</form>
.CCPPDisplayTD{
width: 200px;
}
See here: http://jsfiddle.net/GT8jD/
In your stylehseet you need the following:
.CCPPDisplayTD{
width: 250px; // whatever size you need.
}
Your HTML needs to resemble something similar to:
<form>
<label> /* Label elements are required for better accessibility */
<input type="text" class="CCPPDisplayTD" />
</label>
</form>
Or the following:
<form>
<label for="input-name"> /* Label elements are required for better accessibility */
<input type="text" class="CCPPDisplayTD" id="input-name" name="input-name" />
</label>
</form>
I'm currently using following login form where I want to change the design a bit:
http://html-form-guide.com/php-form/php-login-form.html
I want to place ' Login ' into the middle of the box, instead the left:
I've also found out that you can change the textsize, font etc. in fg_membersite.css (line 17). What's interesting is that in Chrome it IS displayed in the middle, only in Firefox it's shown on the left. Since I'm a new CSS worker I wanted to ask if anybody could help me fixing this incompatiblity problems here.
Since it also contains lots of Javascript based stuff I wasn't sure if I posting source codes here would be sensible, because I'd have to post the whole source anyway then.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Much prettier now. Thanks:

Use this for the center text part:
<form id='login' action='login.php' method='post' accept-charset='UTF-8'>
<fieldset >
<legend align="center">Login</legend>
<input type='hidden' name='submitted' id='submitted' value='1'/>
<label for='username' >UserName*:</label>
<input type='text' name='username' id='username' maxlength="50" />
<label for='password' >Password*:</label>
<input type='password' name='password' id='password' maxlength="50" />
<input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Submit' />
</fieldset>
</form>
I guess you've changed the HTML code but note the: <legend align="center">Login</legend>
align="center"
http://jsfiddle.net/4szBC/
EDIT:
Since it seems like align is deprecated you, can do this using by using css.
legend {
text-align: center;
}
If you want the css right in HTML, add it in a <script> tag and place it in <head>. Like this:
<script type="text/css">
legend {
text-align: center;
}
</script>
http://jsfiddle.net/4szBC/1/
add to submit button few CSS rules:
input[type=submit] {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px 30px;
}
I am having trouble rendering this correctly in firefox. It renders nicely in chrome and in safari.
<div style="" id="login_inline">
<form accept-charset="utf-8" action="/users/login" method="post" id="UserLoginForm">
<div style="display:none;">
<input type="hidden" value="POST" name="_method">
</div>
<input type="text" id="UserDummyEmail" tabindex="1" value="Email" name="data[User][dummyEmail]" style="display: block;">
<input type="text" id="UserDummyPassword" tabindex="2" value="Password" name="data[User][dummyPassword]" style="display: block;">
<input type="text" id="UserEmail" maxlength="255" tabindex="3" name="data[User][email]">
<input type="password" id="UserPassword" tabindex="4" name="data[User][password]">
<div class="submit">
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</div>
</form>
</div>
CSS:
#login_inline {
position:absolute;
right:10px;
top:30px;
width:420px;
}
.submit {
display:inline;
position:absolute;
left:360px;
}
#UserPassword {
position:absolute;
left: 185px;
}
#UserDummyPassword {
position:absolute;
left:185px;
z-index:1;
color:gray;
}
#UserDummyEmail {
position:absolute;
left:10px;
z-index:1;
color:gray;
}
#UserEmail {
position:absolute;
left:10px;
}
Firefox rendering:

EDIT: Live example (Correct rendering)
By positioning absolute you become dependent on correct width of the input elements. This is difficult to do cross-browser because browsers tend to use custom or native elements that don't style consistently. You're better off with an inline-block or floated layout that handles inconsistent width.
If you really have to do it that way there are some hacks using css3 box-sizing property and/or manually tuning properties like line-height and font size and padding to get all browsers to agree on input sizing but that's harder than it sounds.
This question has some info on box-sizing and using percentage/auto width to get consistency: input with display:block is not a block, why not?
EDIT: Based on your comment above you may need to set up some div wrappers to set the size/position of both the hidden and visible elements and then use percentage widths and box-sizing as explained.
<div class="input_wrapper" style="width:100px;position:relative">
<input style="width:100%;box-sizing:border-box;position:absolute">
<div class="fake_input" style="width:100%;position:absolute">
</div>
The key to it all is that box-sizing:border-box is less susceptible to browser differences in padding and border calculations on form inputs.
I found it that usually it is good to put a font-size on input fields, this will make the size of them (more) consistent
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>
I have seen forms that can do this without using <br /> etc.
Here's my form:
<form id="staff-login" name="staff-login" action="/staff/login/" method="POST">
<label for="staff-login-email">Email</label>
<input type="text" id="staff-login-email" name="email" value="" />
<label for="staff-login-address">Password</label>
<input type="password" id="staff-login-password" name="password" value="" />
<input type="submit" id="staff-login-submit" name="submit" value="Login" />
</form>
And an example of what I'm taking about:
http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/4879/43201622.gif
All the examples I can Google insert extra <div>s and mess with the code, I'm wondering if there is a way with the code I have (or if you can structure my code "better") to achieve what I need?
using css, float your label to the left. Also, make your input elements blocks with a decent margin...
label { float: left; width: 200px; }
input { margin-left: 220px; display: block; }
input.staff-login-submit { margin-left: 500px }
I've just guessed at a few numbers for the margins, so tweak as needed.
<label> and <input> are inline elements. Either you use <br /> (which is totally ok) or you specify them as block elements via CSS.
You can learn more about inline and block elements.
