Does anyone know what might be causing the width of the dropdown area not be 100% to the input itself when the input is stretched wider? In fact it becomes smaller. I've tried it in both Chrome and Edge so it's probably not browser relatred. This also happens to the auto complete dropdown.
This is my codes
#contact-form-wrapper {
padding: 20px;
width: 50%;
/* only big screens */
}
#contact-form-wrapper input:not([type="submit"]),
#contact-form-wrapper textarea {
width: 100%;
padding: 8px 5px;
border: 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #95a5a6;
outline: none;
background: transparent;
font-size: 1em;
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
}
#contact-form-wrapper textarea {
resize: vertical;
min-height: 25px;
max-height: 250px;
}
.contact-input {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
<div id="contact-form-wrapper">
<form id="contact-form">
<div class="contact-input">
<input type="text" name="input-name" required>
<label for="input-name"></label>
</div>

<div class="contact-input">

<label for="input-sub"></label>
<datalist id="subjects">
<option></option>
<option></option>
<option></option>
<option></option>
<option></option>
<option></option>
<option></option>
<option></option>
<option></option>
</datalist>
</div>
<div class="contact-input">

</div>
<div class="contact-input">

<input type="submit" value="Verzenden">

</form>
</div>
As you can see it is a design of browser. it cannot be added as far as I know. The width increases up to a point and then remains constant. In this page, the menu expanded till <input list="browsers" name="browser" id="browser" style="width:447px;">. Something is limiting it after that.
If you want to fix that, you can create your own autocomplete input box easily. Refer Here.

I have 2 questions really. How can I align my radio buttons and checkboxes to the left of my already centered form-group in css.They are currently all center, but I want the checkboxes and radio buttons to be aligned to the left, but still in center. Also how can I make my form take up the whole page with a scroll bar like the example I will provide. everything current just sits at the top of page. Please let me know of any questions, really am stuck here and just need a little nudge. Thanks.

You gave the div with the radio buttons the class .form-group. This class has a property align-center if you remove that from the div the buttons will align to the left.
If you give the .text-center to the <p> the tekst will align center

Remove the css of .text-center and .form-group
So I have created a form with different type of elements (including radio, checkbox, text input etc.) and I cannot figure out how to make the whole form look neat. Ideally I want all labels aligned on the left side, except labels for radio buttons which should be aligned with the input fields.
My pen:
https://codepen.io/andreas-soteriou/pen/NWwEywR?editors=1100
I coloured the labels and inputs, for me to visualise as I am fairly new to this!

Here's a simple starting point using CSS Grid
We are going to use two different grid layouts using the fieldset element and our grid container.
For simple Label | Input pairs the grid's first column will be the label taking 25% of the available space with the input occupying the rest.
For the radio button or check box groups, we will add a class to the fieldset then use three columns with 25% for the group label, auto for the input width, with the input label occupying the rest
fieldset {
border: none;
/*Set up base grid*/
display: grid;
/*Set Columns, first column is 25% the second takes up the rest*/
grid-template-columns: 25% 1fr;
row-gap: 0.5em;
}
/*Label styling*/
fieldset label {
text-align: right;
padding-right: 0.25em;
}
/*Additional set up for button group*/
fieldset.button-group {
/*For out button group rows we want the first col 25% ,
control minimum space, then next col take the rest*/
grid-template-columns: 25% auto 1fr;
}
/*Addditional stylings for the button/checkbox labels*/
fieldset.button-group label:not(:first-of-type) {
text-align: left;
}
/*Bump the buttons & check boxes to second column*/
fieldset.button-group input {
grid-column-start: 2;
}

I am trying to center my form to the middle of the page. Currently, I am using a div and placing the form inside it. The div got centered but not the form inside the div. Here is the portion of my HTML and CSS.
form {
margin: auto;
}
.wrapper {
margin: auto;
width: 50%;
padding: 0px;
display: table;
}
fieldset {
margin: 1em;

<form> is taking width and height of parent div, so as div got centered, the <form> inside it also got centered. Now the challenge comes in to center the content inside the <form>. For it check my solution.

form {
margin:auto;
}
div.form-center {
width: 60%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.wrapper {
margin: auto;
width: 50%;
padding: 0px;
display: table;
}
fieldset {
margin: 1em;
padding: 1em;
border-color: crimson;
border-radius: 20px;
border-style: double;
border-width: 10px;
width: 70%;
}
form {
/*margin: auto; Not required as long as you didn't specify the width of the form*/
text-align: center;
}
fieldset {
/*centering the fieldset horizontally*/
margin: 1em auto;
...
}
You may want to use Flexbox.
On the fieldset selector add the following 3 lines of code:
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
Also, on the fieldset selector, instead margin: 1em, use margin: 1em auto. This will make the margin 1em on top and bottom of the fieldset element, but will position the element centrally inside its <form> parent.
Your example would then remain the same, only for the fieldset selector you have the following css properties:
fieldset {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
margin: 1em auto;
padding: 1em;
border-color: crimson;
border-radius: 20px;
border-style: double;
border-width: 10px;
width: 70%;
}
EDIT: Flexbox on <fieldset> element is supported only on Firefox 64+, not yet supported on Chrome. I found this after posting and testing to see if it works in Chrome as I tested it only on Firefox before posting. More information about flexbox and <fieldset> elements can be found in this thread.
I have a simple login/signup page that im making. Both the login and signup parts of the site have issues in that the text mentioning what to write in the textboxes are not aligned with one another. I have tried to change the margins back and forth and no matter how I change it I still have the same problem.
As you can see the Password in the login parn and the City and Email part dont stick to the left as it should. Is there any good way of solving this issue? And also is there any "clean" way of pairing the text with the textbox so that they always align? Below you will find the code I use for this part of the site.

As usual, what is a pain to do with classic CSS (float, clear etc) is a breeze with Flexbox :
#Login_and_Sign_Up {
height: inherit;
width: 250px;
margin-left: 10px;
float: right;
}
#Login {
text-align: center;
background-color: #7fffd4;
padding: 5px;
}
#Sign_Up {
text-align: center;
background-color: #a52a2a;
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 5px;
}
form div {
display: -webkit-box;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
border: #00f dashed 1px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
form div input {
width: 120px;
}
form div select {
width: 124px;
}
<div id="Login_and_Sign_Up">

You can us tabular forms, they are easy to manage.
form{
background-color:red
}
H1{
text-align:center
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<H1>Hello</H1>
<form>
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td><input type="text" name="firstname"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td><input type="text" name="firstname"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Add clear: left; to label, this will prevent one label moving right of another one (as its the case with "Gender" and "City")

Addition: I made the form containers 20px wider and therefore the left container 20px narrower to avoid the problem described for Chrome in the comments.
Let's do some cleanup and simplification here.
First off we'll get rid of all those <br> tags. Don't need 'em.
Next we're going to stop with the floats. Float is great for what it's intended for, which is letting text wrap around a floated element. Float is not so great for what it's often used for, which is as a bad replacement for inline-block -- bad because you have to set explicit heights, worry about clears, etc.

Further improvements that could be made:
For accessibility you should be associating your <label>s with their form elements. Do this either by using the for attribute on the label, or by nesting the form fields inside the label.
Using the label as the wrapper would have the additional advantage of allowing you to omit the wrapper <div>s, by setting label to display:block.
Use CSS Flexbox
I have done it for the login form, you can repeat the same for sign-up as well.
Please wrap your 'label and input select in <p> tags. This will help you eliminate <br/> tags.

My example looks at utilizing bootstrap .form-group and adding a min-width to the label. Though in hindsight, after reading the flexbox answer - that one is probably easiest for you. I've spent a little time working on this answer so I'll post it anyway.
I also stipped out a lot of unnecessary tags and assigned labels to their elements. There was a lot of br and div which didn't need to be there using this method.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
You can use flexbox to solve this kind of alignment problems. In the code I posted below, I created a wrapper div around your text, and I used flexbox to align the children elements.
HTML
<div class="above-form-wrap">
<p class="chours">Phone: 904-521-4141</p>
<p class="chours">Hours:<br>
Monday - Friday: 8AM - 8PM<br>
Saturday: 9AM - 6PM<br>
Sunday: Closed</p><a id="cform1" name="cform1"></a>
</div>
CSS
.above-form-wrap {
width: 40%; /*form width, you may need to add related style in your media query*/
margin: 0 auto;
display: flex;
flex: 1 1 50%;
align-items: center;
}
.above-form-wrap .chours {
width: 50%;
}
