I'm trying to create the layout for a profile page.
When the user is editing his profile, I want to display a form such as this one from the Bootstrap library: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/components/forms/#form-row . When the user is done editing, I want to convert the form to a read-only layout, by replacing the input fields with the text that has been entered.
I found an example on bootsnipp: https://bootsnipp.com/snippets/QoM7g (tab "Education&Career", for example). But when looking at the code, I noticed that this layout was constructed using the form-group class, and by replacing the input field with a paragraph field.
Is there a cleaner solution? I can't imagine this is how this kind of layout is meant to be written?
I would do something like this.
Add a fieldset with disabled attribute, all form element will be disabled.
Now add style to default form-control elements so that it will look like text.
Example below
fieldset[disabled] .form-control {
color:red;
border: none;
background-color:inherit;
}
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="p-3">
<form>
<fieldset disabled>
<input class="form-control" type='text' value='John' />
<input class="form-control" type='text' value='John' />
<input class="form-control" type='text' value='John' />
<input class="form-control" type='text' value='John' />
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
If you want to have elements in your form styled as plain text, use the .form-control-plaintext class to remove the default form field styling and preserve the correct margin and padding.
for Example:
<form>
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="staticEmail" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" readonly class="form-control-plaintext" id="staticEmail" value="email#example.com">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="inputPassword" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Password</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="inputPassword">
</div>
</div>
</form>
Refer to this: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/components/forms/#readonly-plain-text
There is no need to replace the fields. You can just style them to look as text: hide the border and outline, make it read-only, make the background same as the outer background.
Example:
<input value="Regular input" />
<br>
<input class="like-text" value="I look like a text" readonly />
.like-text {
border: none;
outline: none;
}

I am making a copy of a pen-and-paper character sheet for a RPG, as a way of learning html/css. However I got stuck right at the beginning when trying to style a form, holding some background information about the character.
Currently I've managed to make my form of labels and input-fields to look like the picture to the left. However the pen-and-paper character sheet (and the desired look) is formatted like the one on the right.
Below is the code I'm using.
.sheet-character-background form input,
label {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.age-input {
width: 60px;
}
<div class="sheet-character">
<div class="sheet-character-background">
<form>
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_name">
<br>
<label>Race</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_race">
<br>
<label>Gender</label>
<input class="gender-input" type="text" name="attr_gender">
<label>Age</label>
<input class="age-input" type="number" name="attr_age" min="0">
<br>
<label>Religion</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_religion">
<br>
<label>Occupation</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_occupation">
<br>
<label>Archetype</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_archetype">
<br>
<label>Environment</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_environment">
<br>
<label>Background</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_backgrund">
</form>
</div>
</div>
What are the steps for going from what I have to what I want? I played around with surrounding each "row" with a <div> and class and setting their width in css. However this didn't work out so I reverted to my initial version and got stuck.
Many people would probably suggest to get a css framework, but what you want can be done with some simple css.
First, your html basically consists of a form with a series of rows, except for one row where it consists of two fields in one row. So I modified your html slightly that each row is wrapped by a div with a class as .form-row and delete the <br> (let css to do the rendering instead of using html tag):
To achieve what you want will then come down to set a width for the form, and how each row will behave, and set the width of input, and last override the setting for the special case of .age-input.
This is just a 'quick-and-dirty' way to achieve what you want, hopefully it provide you some ideas and suggestions in your learning.
form {
width: 300px;
}
.form-row {
display:flex;
}
input {
width: 100%;
}
.age-input {
width: 60px;
}
<form>
<div class="form-row">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_name">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<label>Race</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_race">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<label>Gender</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_gender">
<label>Age</label>
<input class="age-input" type="number" name="attr_age" min="0">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<label>Religion</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_religion">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<label>Occupation</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_occupation">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<label>Archetype</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_archetype">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<label>Environment</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_environment">
</div>
<div class="form-row">
<label>Background</label>
<input type="text" name="attr_backgrund">
</div>
</form>
I am trying to create a form with simple styling in Google Apps Script.
When adding the Google add-on stylesheet the text input and select boxes become misaligned. I need them to sit side by side.
JS Fiddle example
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/script/css/add-ons1.css">
<style>
select {
width: 80%;
}
.width-10 {
width: 10%;
}
</style>
<form>
<div class="options" id="option1">
<input type="text" class="width-10" id="user-input1" value="" tabindex=8>
<select id="user-input6" tabindex=1></select><br>
<input type="text" class="width-10" id="user-input2" value="" tabindex=9>
<select id="user-input7" tabindex=2></select><br>
</div>
</form>
Because you are using the official style sheet for Google Add-ons, you can use the inline class. This will put text input fields and select option lists side by side.
<div class="inline form-group">
<label for="email">Your email:</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="you#gmail.com" value="example#gmail.com" required>
</div>
<div class="inline form-group">
<label for="eventName">What's the topic?</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="eventName" value="App Testing" required>
</div>
You may need to remove your CSS in the <style> tag
I have a below set of input text elements in my page. I actually need to apply style to div element of "forms_in_ap" class containing the #email, #reEmail, #nogInFirstName, #nogInAccNumber elements alone, in Safari browser of all MAC and IOS devices.
CSS to apply style to specific elements of specific div:
html[xmlns*=""]:root
.form_input_wrap input#email,
.form_input_wrap input#reEmail,
.form_input_wrap input#nogInFirstName,
.form_input_wrap input#nogInAccNumber
{
height: 42px;
}
HTML Code:
<div class="asd removeFocus">
<div class="forms_in_ap removeFocus">
<label for="email">Email address</label>
<div class="removeFocus">
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" class="required error ">
<span id="email-error" class="error">Please enter a Valid Email Address.</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="forms_in_ap removeFocus">
<label for="reEmail">Re-enter email address</label>
<div class="removeFocus">
<input type="text" id="reEmail" name="reEmail" maxlength="64">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form">
<div class="forms_in_ap">
<label for="nogInFirstName">First Name</label>
<div>
<input type="text" name="txtFName" maxlength="15" id="nogInFirstName">
</div>
</div>
<div class="forms_in_ap">
<label for="nogInLastName">Last Named</label>
<div>
<input type="text" name="txtLName" maxlength="15" id="nogInLastName">
</div>
</div>
<div class="forms_in_ap">
<label for="nogInAccNumber">Coupon Number</label>
<div>
<input type="text" name="shcCreditCardNumber" maxlength="19" id="nogInAccNumber">
</div>
</div>
<div class=" forms_in_ap">
<div class="ccvDiv">
<label for="cvv"> pin</label>
<div>
<input type="text" class="cvvWidth required" name="cvv" id="cvv" maxlength="3">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The above CSS works fine but not sure whether this is a correct, standard or optimize code please suggest me.
Since you have each specific input with an HTML ID, there is no need for you to specify the parent class.
This should work for you, it's cleaner and simpler:
input#email,
input#reEmail,
input#nogInFirstName,
input#nogInAccNumber
{
height: 42px;
}
The most important thing to remember here is that IDs are unique. You can't have two elements with the same ID, so adding the parent element when styling is not necessary.
Note about the "input": Since the IDs are unique, there's no need to have the "input" before the ID, but it can be seen as good practice for elements such as inputs to have the selector prior to the class/id, making it clearer what you're styling.
However, this doesn't apply to things like divs, since almost everything on the web is a div, adding it before a class/id is just overkill.
When appending an input-group to a form-inline, the input-group appears below the form on a "new line" instead of inline with the other controls.
It seems that this is because the input-group wrapper class has display set to table whereas the other inputs, which work fine, have their display set to inline-block. Of course, it is not possible to give the input-group the inline-block display because its child add-on span, which has display: table-cell, needs the property of the parent to align correctly.
So my question is: is it possible to use input-group inside an inline form using Bootstrap classes exclusively? If not, what would be the best work-around allowing the use of custom classes.
Here is a demo illustrating my point. The code is the following:
<form action="" class="form-inline">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Works with" style="width: 100px;"/>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Text Inputs" style="width: 120px;"/>
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" /> and Checkboxes
</label>
</div>
<select class="form-control" style="width: 150px;">
<option>and Selects</option>
</select>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">and Buttons</button>
<div class="input-group" style="width: 220px;">
<span class="input-group-addon">BUT</span>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="not with input-groups" />
</div>
</form>
This was indeed a bug and was resolved (check the issue on github for more info).
From now on the inline forms in BootStrap require to wrap the child form controls with .form-group.
So my code would become:
<form action="" class="form-inline">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Works with" style="width: 100px;"/>
</div>
...
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group" style="width: 220px;">
<span class="input-group-addon">BUT</span>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="not with input-groups" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
I think you may need to separate your form into columns to get the inline layout you want. An example (I think of what you're after) is on the Bootstrap site here.
try putting
<div class="col-lg-1"></div>
around your controls to see what I mean. You of course need to work in columns of 12 so this will need to be adjusted accordingly.
i need a twitter bootstrap form with input text boxes on the same line, but its labels must be on the top of input boxes.
So far i have:
<form action="#">
<label for="city">City</label>
<input type="text" id="city"/>
<label for="street">Street</label>
<input type="text" id="street"/>
</form>
http://jsfiddle.net/A8RaG/
So i need inputs on the same line and labels must be on the top of each input.
How do i do that?
Another solution is putting a div around each label/input combination and setting the css to float left
HTML
<form action="#">
<div>
<label for="city">City</label>
<input type="text" id="city"/>
</div>
<div>
<label for="street">Street</label>
<input type="text" id="street"/>
</div>
</form>
CSS
form div{
float: left
}
jsFiddle
you can put a div around each label and block, and in the css put this div in inline-bloc
like :
<form action="#">
<div class = "css">
<label for="city">City</label>
<input type="text" id="city"/>
</div><div class="css">
<label for="street">Street</label>
<input type="text" id="street"/>
</div>
</form>
and in the CSS:
.css{
display : inline-block;
}
You could also just use <br />. It will work for a form as well.
If you use Bootstrap you need to use the css of bootstrap !
Use class="form-horizontal" or class="form-inline"
You can try this with no css added :
<form action="#" class="form-horizontal">
<label for="city">City</label>
<input type="text" id="city"/>
<label for="street">Street</label>
<input type="text" id="street"/>
</form>
Simple no ?
