Lower height of `v-data-table` inputs - html

The Goal
I want to have a v-data-table that is editable and looks "nice".
The problem
Adding a v-text-field to make it editable also increases the row-height to a very eye unpleasing level
Original view:
With v-text-field inputs
The quesion
How can I decrease the row height to resemble the one without v-text-fields.
As a Bonus
Because I am quite new to this whole Front-End-Development-Kind-Of-Thing, how would I go about it identifying what is causing this "height issue"?
PS: I've tried to add a JSFiddle but I cant even seem to be unable to figure out how to display the v-data-table correctly...
The basic draft can be found here

Is it necessary for your table to be editable within the columns? How do you decide when to pass data back via request to your Backend? After the user left a field?
If it is not necessary to have the edit option within the table, I would just use the action buttons you already have in your table to trigger a modal in which you can edit the fields. This also allows you to have proper form control before a user can submit a request. There is also a Vuetify Codepen with an example how to do this Codepen
If it is necessary you should implement the v-data-table as v-data-iterator which is essentially the same functionality-wise, but allows for complete control over the look. https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/data-iterators/
As to how to identify the problem with the v-text-field height you have to use your browser dev tools. You would then realise that the input has default paddings and margins but also a whole lot under the hood. It e.g. allocates space for error messages to pop up and for a label to go above the field.
And how to fix your JSfiddle you can read in the getting started section of the vuetify documentation under CDN https://vuetifyjs.com/en/getting-started/installation/#usage-with-cdn.

you can use the "dense" property for Lower height of v-data-table inputs

Column width change/shrink to accommodate another column after onclick button- React

I'm using React. I've a page with a table. Once button is clicked, a detail form should display on the right side of the table. The table is set in column with grid-10, and needed to be take most of the page grid column. The detail form is set in column with grid-4.
It's not going to be reflected but here is the link to the playground code: https://codesandbox.io/s/inspiring-grothendieck-bkygv?file=/src/table.js
Any help (css, bootstrap,etc.) is much appreciated.
First of all I added bootstrap to your sandbox in order for the grid to work.
Secondly, based on the active's value, div needs to change class.

Auto resize the width of input text area on hidden DIV

I use a Hide/Show .js script that hides some checkboxes and on the right side there is the search field when I click to hide it I want to expand.
Ex.
Before hidding:
Before hidding Image
After hidding I want the search field to be expanded 100%
After hidding Image
I searched for 2 days something and can't find a way to make it expand I use the bTemplate engine to store the HTML code.
Did you try changing the CSS properties through the "setAttribute" method of the elements in question through Javascript? Basically, the code you used to "hide some of the checkboxes" in the first place is pretty much like how you'd write the code to do the other things you're looking to do.
In other words, When you want the checkboxes out of view and the text entry box centered, as in your second reference pic, you could have the Javascript code written through the "setAttribute" method so that when a particular event happens, the css "display" parameter for the check boxes could be set to "hidden", the size of the text entry box can be increased, and the css "position" parameter for the text entry box can be set to have it centered, etc.
That is, of course if I understand your issue correctly. Can you provide the code you are using? I'm sure me or someone else could clarify things more if we could see what you have written.
Hope that helps at least a little! :)

Display an element only up to a certain depth until expanded

This seems dissimilar to the accordion functionality provided by bootstrap.
To give an example, let's take the "how to format" info starting me in the face right now. I'd want it so that it only displays up to X pixels deep, and then stops until expanded. So it might look like:
and then, once expanded,
I happen to be using bootstrap. Is there a bootstrap native or other HTML solution to create this kind of experience?
Assume that the thing that I only want to show of is a single element, such as an image, rather than a series of text. This means a solution like min-height:50px and overflow:hidden won't work, as it will simply hide the entire image rather than part of it.
We can use jQuery .height() to accomplish knowing the rendered height of an element then making conditional modifications.
Documentation and examples for jQuery .height().
A combination of height and overflow in combination with the toggling of a class should work here.

The click of the arrow is bound to the following function:
function expandCollapse() {
$("#container").toggleClass("expanded");

CSS for inplace editing

How do I create a label that is editable? I am displaying data in a table, and would like to provide in place editing for the displayed data. What CSS styles can I use for it?
Put a text input box there and make its background same as the background of its container and put 0 border on it and use same font style and color as other items in the table
What CSS styles can I use for it ?
It's not really a matter of CSS (unless your questions pertains solely to achieving a particular style).
You can:
Make all table cells contain inputs. This has the (potentially significant) downside that all data will be submitted to the server if the form is POSTed. I wouldn't recommend this approach unless the table is small or you are never fully submitting the whole page.
Change the label to an input on click. When the form is submitted, this value will now be a part of the request.
Change the label to an input in response to an action elsewhere (e.g. focusing the row, clicking an edit button next to the row, etc.)
Set contenteditable="true" on the element. This allows rich formatting but also requires that you keep track of the changes the user has made; they will not be submitted to the server unless they are placed into a form field.
You will likely want/need a snippet of JavaScript to change the label to an input (#2 and #3). You will need JavaScript to get the data to the server with approach #4.

HTML UI question - can I have a checkbox inside an INPUT type=text box?

I'm replacing a winforms screen with an html interface, which needs to run in IE7/8/9 & Firefox.
Currently on one of our screens we have a funky input control that looks like this:
The user can enter a value in one of three ways:
the user can just type into the box
the user can select an item from the dropdown
the user can tick the ‘Unopened’ checkbox, which effectively chooses a known item we call ‘Unopened’
There’s also a search button ‘…’ but that’s another control which is easy to implement.
I want to rebuild this using html and am wondering how to replace the Unopened function, as (a) and (b) are easy enough. I’m thinking I’ll just put a separate Unopened checkbox beneath the INPUT box instead of inside it, because that would be simpler. But if there's a way to keep it looking like it does now I’d probably prefer that. Is that possible?
UPDATE:
Secondary question: if I do put the checkbox inside the INPUT box using CSS am I just bringing upon myself a lot of pain with quirky little usability or layout problems or is this something that's not too unusual or hard to do?
You can put it in a separate div and then position it with CSS to look like it's inside of the input field:
#checkbox {
position: relative;
top: -10px;
}
or whatever values you need...
Regarding your second question: Nope. It's not actually "inside" the box, it just appears that way. All the functionality will still be there. =)
http://jsfiddle.net/BdBTy/ is a quick example of how this works.
place the check right below the textbox in html
in css for the checkbox put
margin-top:-25px;
(or whatever exact number you need)
