The placeholder text in my text boxes is mis aligned in chrome - css

I've got a problem in Google chrome where the placeholder text sits too high on my website
http://www.myinvestmentdecision.com.au
Click "Feedback" and you'll see the text in the placeholder sits to high. I've got a placeholder script, but it turns off when it realises that chrome has support for placeholder.
Just to proove that point here's a jsfiddle of the form itself: http://jsfiddle.net/RAANa/
Must be a CSS thing. Any ideas?

Remove line-height:28px from your css below.
.form input[type="text"], .form input.text, .form .calculate_box .calc {
background: transparent url(../images/input-background.png) repeat-x left top;
border: 1px solid #A1A1A1;
margin-left: -1px;
height: 28px;
line-height: 28px;
display: block;
width: 284px;
}
See attached screenshot with line-height removed

I think your line-hight:28 from here: (form.css)
.form { font-family: arial, sans-serif; }
.form input[type=text],
.form input.text,
.form .calculate_box .calc{
background: transparent url(../images/input-background.png) repeat-x left top;
border: 1px solid #a1a1a1;
margin-left: -1px;
height: 28px;
line-height: 28px;
display: block;
width:284px;
}
Is causing the problem. Remember that this declaration applies to the content of the tag, as well as the tag itself. This can get you when it comes to forms..

Not sure if this is the "right" way to do it, but adding a padding of 5px to the input field would center the placeholder for the email field.
Just add this to your CSS wherever it applies to that email field:
padding: 5px;

spacing between thumbnails disappeared after using another lightbox

I used to have no problem with the css code i have been using. But, after I have changed from using "Lightbox2" to "fancybox", the spacing between the thumbnails and the thumbnail border (when mouse hovering above) disappeared. What has gone wrong?
Compare the problem page after switching to using fancybox (www.lixiao-art.com/test.html ) with the page using Lightbox2 ( www.lixiao-art.com/latest.html )
This is the code I use:
body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: black;
margin: 0px;
background-color: RGB(181,170,128);}
*{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:normal
}
#nav {float: left;
position: fixed;
background-color: RGB(233,231,197);
text-align: left;
font-size: 11px;
color: #645630;
width: 90px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 100px 20px 100px 30px;
border: none;
min-height: 100%;
}
#content {float: left;
margin-left: 150px;
padding: 15px 20px 10px 80px;
width: 900px;
margin-top: 0px;
border: none;
font: black;
font-size: 11px;
}
#content a {text-decoration:underline}
h2 {height: 2em;}
.footer {
text-align:center;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-bottom: 1em;
font-size: 11px;
}
a{text-decoration: none;
color: #645630;}
a:hover {color: red;}
* {margin: 0;}
html, body, wrapper {height: 100%;}
.ImgBorder img { border:2px solid transparent;
height:100px;
}
.ImgBorder:hover img{ border-color: white}
.ImgBorder {display: block;
float: left;
margin: 30px 20px; }
h5{
clear:both
}
img { border: none; }
Thank you!
In your previous Lightbox2, each image is wrapped in an anchor
<a class="ImgBorder">
and the class ImgBorder has the value margin: 30px 20px
In your current Fancybox, you can just add this missing margin margin: 30px 20px to the class fancybox as each image is now wrapped in an anchor
<a class="fancybox"/>
As I just noticed that there doesn't seem to be any class fancybox already defined, you just have to add
.fancybox
{
margin: 30px 20px;
}
e.g. in your global.css
Update: In case you also want to display the border for the fancybox-images, there are two ways of achieving this: Currently you have both lightbox versions on your test page. For the first image the border is still displayed for hover. Following CSS is taking care about that:
.ImgBorder img {
border: 2px solid transparent;
height: 100px;
}
.ImgBorder:hover img {
border-color:white;
}
for an image markup as follows for your first image:
<a class="ImgBorder" rel="lightbox[gaze]"
href="http://www.lixiao-art.com/work/2014/52.jpg">
<img src="work/2014/52_t.jpg">
</a>
Your current fancybox-markup is like this for your second image:
<a href="work/2014/52.jpg" rel="group" class="fancybox">
<img src="work/2014/52_t.jpg">
</a>
So all you have to add is the border and hover for the fancybox-class:
.fancybox img {
border: 2px solid transparent;
height: 100px;
}
.fancybox:hover img {
border-color:white;
}
It's possible that there are some additional adjustments because of the CSS that fancybox uses, but it's easier if you just check this on your site as I just noticed that you're currently working on it.
At the moment your fancybox images "jump" because you added the CSS
.fancybox:hover
{
border-color:white;
margin:30px 20px;
}
which results in setting this margin on hover (therefore jumping then). I suggest you just try the CSS I posted above, that should work.
Update 2 for the comments follow-up questions:
The attributes class and rel stands for the following:
rel (='related') is an attribute containing information for you previous lightbox. The lightbox script will just fetch the information for e.g. a big image or a link from there.
class: as you noticed, almost all in your css-file starts with a dot (.) followed by a name. This name is the name of the class to which the style information will apply. So .test {color:red;} results in displaying a text red in case it's wrapped in an element with the class test, e.g. a <div>: <div class="test">This is red text</div>.
Update for the margins:
To keep the margins to your images when you remove it for the :hover - the correct way to have the margins is just like that:
.fancybox img
{
margin:30px 20px;
}
As you already have one .fancybox img in your CSS, just add this margin to it, though you can also have these selectors multiple times in a CSS file, it's better to keep the styles applying to an element together.
Thank you very much! You've pointed out the problem with my multiple classes, and I've fixed it accordingly like this:
<a class="fancybox ImgBorder" rel="group" href="work/2014/52.jpg"">
<img src="work/2014/52_t.jpg">
</a>
(instead of making new definitions in my global.css)
But, a small problem shows up: this line shows in red colour in the editor at the backoffice. Is there a problem with this line? but I guess I will open a new thread for this.
Thanks again!

Button alignment is not proper in FF?

I have a html button with below CSS.
.myButton{
background: url("../images/button.png") no-repeat top left;
height: 21px;
width: 78px;
text-align: center;
color: #696969;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
border: medium none white;
}
It renders nicely in IE. But in Fire Fox it does not render the text in center. It renders as below:
How can I align the text to center in FF. In IE it is proper?
There must be additional CSS code that applies to your button. With only the given CSS the button looks different: http://jsfiddle.net/xQmHA/
<button class="myButton">TEST</button>
You can check which style rules apply to your button from within Firefox (F12 --> CSS --> Select your button)
I changed background: url("../images/button.png") no-repeat top left to background: url("../images/button.png") no-repeat top center and is working fine....
Try this,
.myButton{
padding:0;
background: url("../images/button.png") no-repeat top left;
height: 21px;
line-height: 21px;
width: 78px;
text-align: center;
color: #696969;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
border: medium none white;
outline:0 none;
}
You need to reset default style sheet of any browser before adding your styles. In this case I suspect it is the padding that is by default added by FF/IE that makes it not work for you.
Please find an Appropriate reset style for the Element before you add your own.

Restrict border width to text width in a block element

I have an <h2> title into a fixed with <div> (238px). When this page is rendered, the browser manage line breaks into the title to make the text fit the width (238px).
But the width property of the h2 element is still 238px, no matters where the line breaks are.
I want to set a border-bottom only under the text, and not under the full width of the h2 element, and I don't know how to achieve this using CSS.
You can see what I mean here : http://jsfiddle.net/np3rJ/2/
Thanks
I think this is what you need:
<h2><span>Horizon 2020, nouvelles opportunités</span></h2>
h2 span {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 5px;
}
h2 span::after{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 1px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
content: ""
}
Working demo in jsFiddle
I used the technique described in this answer: Advanced CSS challenge: underline only the final line of text with CSS
I introduced a span into the H2 in order not to change the display attribute of it, but you could just as easily use the same technique with a display: inline on your H2. This method would allow the control of the actual line though rather than setting display: inline if needed
This works on Chrome.
h2 {
width: fit-content;
}
If you are willing to use display: table-cell, and pseudo-elements, you can have a pretty good solution (with some minor limitations).
The HTML does not change:
<div class="dossier_titre">
<h2>Horizon 2020, nouvelles opportunités</h2>
</div>
and you can apply the following CSS:
.zone_33 {
width: 238px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.zone_33 .dossier_titre {
margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;
}
.zone_33 h2 {
color: #616263;
font-size: 150%;
font-weight: lighter;
padding: 0px 0px 12px 0px;
background: none;
border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
display: table-cell;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.zone_33 .dossier_titre:after {
content: "";
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
}
For the <h2> element, set display: table-cell, and add a pseudo-element after .dossier_titre (the containing block for the header/title element). The pseudo-element is also a table-cell and has a width of 100% (this is the key).
Also, since h2 is no longer a block element, add your margins to .dossier_titre to maintain the visual spacing in our layout.
How This Works
I am creating a two-cell table with the second cell (the pseudo-element) having a width of 100%. This triggers the browser to calculate the shrink-to-fit width for the first cell (h2) that contains the title text. The first cell's width is thus the minimal needed to display the text. The bottom border is as long as the longest text line in the text block within the table-cell.
Limitations
table-cell is not supported in IE7 without a hack, but the work-around is fairly well known and can be found if needed.
If the title had many short words, you might get the line breaking in unexpected places. You would need to insert &nbsp to keep specific words together as needed.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/h34pL/
Maybe display: inline-block; Or display: inline; is what you need?
Why not try:
text-decoration:underline
?
EDIT
Just make a span around "OPPORTUNITÉS" with the underline.
<h2>Horizon 2020, nouvelles <span class="underline">opportunités</span> </h2>
.underline {
text-decoration:underline
}
Can try "text-underline-position" property instead of table-cell and border. Make it simple!
text-decoration: underline;
text-underline-position: under;
All you can do is put your h2 element text into span like this:
<h2><span>Horizon 2020, nouvelles opportunités</span></h2>
and in css remove border-bottom from .zone_33 h2 {} and put it like this:
.zone_33 h2 span{ border-bottom: 1px solid grey;}
by this border-bottom will come under full text.
Try this, (I think it will help you)
.heading {
position: relative;
color: $gray-light;
font-weight: 700;
bottom: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
display:inline-block;
}
.heading::after {
position: absolute;
display:inline-block;
border: 1px solid $brand-primary !important;
bottom: -1px;
content: "";
height: 2px;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
You could put a border-bottom and change the width of your h2 so that the border length matches your h2 length. Adjust the width to the width of your h2, taking into consideration it's font-size. Then add a padding-bottom to your h2 and set it to your liking.
<h2>Cats</h2>
h2{
border-bottom: 5px solid black;
font-size: 16px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
width: 64px;
}

Hover html form input over an image

I currently have a simple form with a text input that has a blue background set by css. It all works perfectly and looks good in firefox and ie but not on an iPhone or safari? How can I arrange it so that there is an image behind the input rather than a background?
Please note, there are other images either end of the input, see - http://stack.uk.to
The only issue I see is that the CSS for your input says its height should be 48px. Your images that sit next to it are 50px in height. If you change the input's height to 50px it seems to match.
style.css:
.loginInput {
margin-right: -11px;
background: #0099FF;
padding: 0;
color: #000066;
font-size: 36px;
font-family: 'Cubano', Arial, sans-serif;
vertical-align: bottom;
height: 50px;
border: none;
}

Styling an Input Button using "Sliding Doors"

I have a webpage that is using third-party HTML that I cannot change. I can however edit the CSS style sheet. I have a "sliding-doors" style button that I want to swap for the default input button on the page, but I cannot figure how to do so using only CSS.
Here is the HTML of the button:
<div>
<input type="button" style="margin: 10px 0pt 0pt; width: 60px; height: 25px; font-size: 11px;" name="search_btn" value="Search" onclick="DoSearchSalesExpanded(searchform);"/>
</div>
And here is the CSS of an existing button that I have which uses the "sliding-doors" method:
.clear {
/* generic container (i.e. div) for floating buttons */
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
a.button_oval {
background: transparent url('http://mydomain.com/projects/buttons/sliding-doors/images/bg_button_oval_a.gif') no-repeat scroll top right;
color: #222;
display: block;
float: left;
font: normal 12px arial, sans-serif;
height: 24px;
margin-right: 6px;
padding-right: 18px; /* sliding doors padding */
text-decoration: none;
}
a.button_oval span {
background: transparent url('http://mydomain.com/projects/buttons/sliding-doors/images/bg_button_oval_span.gif') no-repeat;
display: block;
line-height: 14px;
padding: 5px 0 5px 18px;
}
a.button_oval:active {
background-position: bottom right;
color: #000;
outline: none; /* hide dotted outline in Firefox */
}
a.button_oval:active span {
background-position: bottom left;
padding: 6px 0 4px 18px; /* push text down 1px */
}
You need two elements to do nested background joining (aka sliding doors): an outer (background) one and an inner (foreground, containing the end-piece of the background image). If you only have a standalone <input> you're stuck.
If you can find a way to select the <div> you mentioned, you could use that as the outer element, with the button (with its natural background colour removed) as the inner. You would have to make sure the outer div was the same width/height as the inner <input>, though, perhaps by floating it left (to activate the ‘shrink-to-fit’ behaviour that comes with floats). You would also need to account for the top margin on the button, and any padding on it.
#something div {
float: left;
background: transparent url('http://mydomain.com/projects/buttons/sliding-doors/images/bg_button_oval_a.gif') no-repeat 0 10px;
}
#something div input {
background: transparent url('http://mydomain.com/projects/buttons/sliding-doors/images/bg_button_oval_span.gif') no-repeat;
border: none;
padding: 0;
}
However, as the button in question has a fixed-pixel on-page size, you don't really need to use nested backgrounds at all. You can just make one background of the right dimensons for the button.
If you are able to use the button element instead of the input element.
The following articles are quite useful.
http://jedisthlm.com/2008/03/27/flexible-css-buttons/
http://robertnyman.com/2008/03/13/styling-buttons-and-achieving-sliding-doors-with-them/
You can still use type submit and post like an input does
However, if you are relying on using this button as a submit, just beware that when using IE. it will submit the contents of the button also which will give a security exception for .net web apps.
*Edit, found a different link as original no longer works
Your only other option would be to use javascript to dynamically insert the ...my button text... tags typically used for sliding doors buttons. However this is not recommended as it will not work with JS disabled.
