HTML radio buttons allowing multiple selections
(6 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I created a responsive form which changes to two columns when the screen size is resized. It mostly works the way I want it to.
However the label for textarea keeps showing incorrectly. I want it to display on a new line, but it keeps showing in the area of radio buttons.
There is also an issue with radio buttons where both can be selected at the same time. I have been trying to figure out what I did wrong but I can't find a solution.
Here is my code on jsfiddle.
/* CSS */
.myForm {
padding: 40px 20px;
}
.myForm h2,
.myForm p {
text-align: center;
padding: 0 10px;
}
.myForm h2 {
margin-bottom: 20px;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
.myForm p {
margin-bottom: 20px;
font-size: 12px;
}
.myForm label {
font-size: 14px;
}
form input {
border: 1px solid #a9a9a9;
border-radius: 3px;
height: 25px;
width: 96%;
margin: 10px 0;
font-size: 14px;
padding: 5px;
}
.label,
.radio input[type="radio"] {
display: inline;
float: left;
width: auto;
margin: 10px 0;
padding: 0 10px;
}
input[type="radio"],
input.radio {
vertical-align: text-top;
width: 13px;
height: 13px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
top: -8px;
right: 5px;
}
.msg textarea {
width: 96%;
border: 1px solid #a9a9a9;
border-radius: 3px;
margin: 10px 0;
font-size: 14px;
padding: 5px;
}
form button {
background-color: #a9a9a9;
color: #fff;
width: 100%;
text-transform: uppercase;
padding: 10px;
border: none;
border-radius: 3px;
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
/*Left form column*/
.left {
display: block;
float: left;
width: 48%;
}
/*Right form column*/
.right {
display: block;
float: right;
width: 48%;
}
.label,
.radio input[type="radio"] {
padding-right: 30px;
padding-left: 30px;
}
}
<!-- HTML -->
<form class="myForm">
<h2>Lorem ipsum</h2>
<p>text</p>
<div class="fields">
<label class="left">First Name
<input type="text" name="other"></label>
<label class="right">Last Name
<input type="text" name="other"></label>
<label class="left">text
<input type="text" name="other"></label>
<label class="right">text
<input type="text" name="other"></label>
<label class="left">text
<input type="text" name="other"></label>
<label class="right">text
<input type="text" name="other"></label>
<label class="left">text
<input type="text" name="other"></label>
<div class="radio right">
<label>Some text</label><br>
<label class="label">
<input type="radio" name="phone" value="phone">Phone</label>
<label class="label close">
<input type="radio" name="email" value="email">Email</label>
</div>
<div class="msg">
<label>Message</label>
<textarea rows="5"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<button type="button" name="button">Send</button>
</form>

this should help:
.msg{
clear:both;
}

To fix the two problems you describe:
Your radio buttons need to have the same name field to be in the same group. If you set name="contact" for both, then they'll no longer be selectable at the same time.
You should remove float: left; from your CSS rules for .radio input[type="radio"]. This is taking precedence over the display: block; of the .msg div and causing them to be displayed on the same line.

Contact form and footer styling issues [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is a clearfix?
(10 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have some styling issues with my contact form and footer: I want a border-top at the top for the footer div to separate the contact form and footer. However, the border-top of the footer is pushed above the top of the contact form rather than the top of the footer
If I delete the contact form, the border-top is where it needs to be... I've attached an image (as the code snippet doesn't do my styling so far any justice)

CSS divs not horizontally aligned properly [duplicate]

Align inline-block DIVs to top of container element
(5 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
This is probably a stupid question, but it has been driving me crazy the whole day. I need both divs with the class of contacthor to be aligned on the top, but not forcing them by using margin-top: -x or etc. Here is an image of the issue.
Also, Im new to web design so if I have useless code please explain.
Thanks.

I would agree with Chere's answer in that you should be using something like CSS Grid or Flexbox. However, if you want to stay simple for this example, or just want to know why your code isn't working, here is a solution:
#redcontact {
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 5vh;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 30px;
background: black;
}
.contacthor {
display: inline-block;
}
form>.contacthor>.input {
color: #C5B358;
font-size: 15px;
background-color: black;
margin-top: 0;
margin-left: 1vh;
margin-bottom: 1vh;
height: 30px;
width: 190px;
display: block;
}
.contacthor>textarea {
color: #C5B358;
font-size: 15px;
font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
width: 60vh;
height: 25vh;
background: black;
border: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-radius: 3px;
border-color: grey;
padding-left: 4px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 1vh;
margin-left: 1vh;
}
.contacthor>p {
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 1vh;
margin-left: 1vh;
}
.contacthor>input[value=enviar] {
display: block;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 1vh;
margin-left: 1vh;
}
/* ===== Styles to fix example ===== */
label, p {
color: white;
}
/* ===== Styles to answer your question ===== */
.contacthor {
vertical-align: top;
}
<div id="redcontact">
<form action="action_page.php">
<div class="contacthor">
<label for="name">Nombre</label>
<input class="input" type="text" name="name_user" placeholder="test">
<label for="org">Empresa</label>
<input class="input" type="text" name="org" placeholder="test">
<label for="mail">Mail</label>
<input class="input" type="text" name="mail" placeholder="contacto#test.com">
</div>
<div class="contacthor">
<p>Mensaje</p>
<textarea name="mensaje" tabindex="5" placeholder="text..."></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="enviar">
</div>
</form>
</div>
The main thing to take away from this is the addition of vertical-align: top. Here is a similar question and here is the documentation for the vertical-align property.
Note: I think there may have been some CSS missing, so the snippet looks a bit odd and I had to make a couple of unrelated changes.
Why is there a . before the input?
Also, I highly recommend not using vh or pixels. You should go with em. Without doing everything, you should probably try to do something like that, with flexbox.
#redcontact {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 1.5;
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
}
form {
display: flex;
padding: 2em;
.contacthor {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
width: 50%;
padding: 0 2em;
input,
textarea {
color: #C5B358;
background-color: transparent;
margin-left: 1em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
padding: 0.5em 1em;
width: auto;
display:block;
}
input {
border: 0;
}
textarea {
border: 1px solid grey;
border-radius: 3px;
}
}
}
I have made a grid. See if you are looking for somewhat similar thing.

input[type=submit]{

}
input[type=text]{
background:black;

}
Markup :

CSS - Styling a form

I'm styling a form for a site and I need it to look like this -
My coded version, so far, looks like this -
The name & email sections for some reason won't size properly and there seems to be padding or margin properties somewhere which I can't seem to override. Here's my code as it stands -
form {
height: 200px;
width: 400px;
margin-right: 50px;
}
.name {
float: left;
}
input[type=text],
input[type=email] {
background: #F0F0F0;
font-size: 10px;
width: 100%;
height: 20px;
}
input[type=subject] {
background: #F0F0F0;
font-size: 10px;
width: 100%;
height: 20px;
}
textarea {
resize: vertical;
font-size: 10px;
width: 100%;
background: #F0F0F0;
height: 100px;
}
input[type=submit] {
background: #00bfff;
border: none;
color: #ffffff;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: 700;
width: 100%;
}
<div class="six columns">
<form>
<fieldset>
<div class="name">
<input type="text" required placeholder="NAME">
</div>
<div class="name">
<input type="email" required placeholder="EMAIL">

Display inline or float without breaking - without using media queries

When I try to add float left or display inline, things break. Currently, I have a max-width of 1000px for the form. What I was hoping is somehow, the first, and last name will automatically float side by side if it is wide enough. So perhaps a min-width for inputs First and Last name?
Important note: I wrote this to test out writing CSS DRY code. You notice if you change the font size, the whole project changes size, So this is important to me. Also, I do not want to use media queries.
I am aware that I may need to change my approach, and I am open to that as well. Not so much looking for an exact code answer.

Flexbox is the most modern solution to this problem. However, remember to add the necessary prefixes for some browsers. If IE9 support is necessary, see the float solution below:

<form action="">
<ul>
<li class="split">
<input id="first-name" type="text" autofocus>

you can try to use bootstrap grid system
this way u can have the inputs into columns
bootstrap grid system
look at this fiddle:
gri system sample
<div class='row'>
<div class="col-xs-2">Hi</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">Hi</div>
in your case col-xs-6 will give you 2 columns fullwidth
Not exactly sure if this is what you're going for, but it seems to fit your criteria.

</form>
Here is another alternative using our old faithful floats: https://jsfiddle.net/mvpu6s5o/3/
The main difference is basically here:
form li {
width: 33.33%;
float: left;
}
form li:nth-child(3) {
float: right;
}
form li:last-child {
width: 100%;
clear: both;
}
I used a width with percentage to keep it fluid, so it'll adjust to different screen sizes. The li:nth-child(3) float the last input to the right, so we can get rid of a small gap at the end due to the 33.33% width. form li:last-child is used to clear both floats to the last input (since this too is an li).
I just change the semantic and apply flexbox. This is the result:
*, *:before, *:after {
box-sizing: inherit;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
align-items: center;
/background-color: #EB6361;
display: flex;

justify-content: center;
}

width: 500px;
}

background-color: #1ABC9C;
}
form header p {

font-family: 'ubuntu';
font-size: 15px;
padding: 15px 10px;
text-align: center;
}
form .body {
background-color: #EEE;
padding: 15px 20px;
}
form .body .block {
border: 2px solid #333;
border-radius: 4px;
overflow: hidden;
}
form .body .block:not(first-of-type) {
margin-top: 10px;
}
form .body .block:first-of-type > .group {
width: 98%;
}
form .body .block:first-of-type {
display: flex;
}
form .body .block .group {
display: flex;
flex-flow: column-reverse nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
}
form .body .block:first-of-type .group:first-of-type {
border-right: 2px solid #333;
}
form input {
background-color: transparent;
border: none;

font-size: 11px;
padding: 2px;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
form footer {

}
form footer button {
background-color: #F39C12;

A very simple solution is with Flexbox.
Set the parent element to display type 'flex'.
Also set up flex wrap: wrap // This way the children will wrap if needed.
The children become flex objects. Since I want them to be even, I set them both to flex grow: 1
Set the children to flex-basis as 300px. // This is almost like a minimum width. This triggers the wrap.
body {
padding: 50px;
}
.main {
background-color: #e9e9e9;
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.main input {
background-color: #e9e9e9;
}
.one {
flex-grow: 1;
flex-basis: 300px
}
.two {
flex-grow: 1;
flex-basis: 300px;
}
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="inline.css">
</head>
<body>
<form class="main">
<input type="text" class="one">
<input type="text" class="two">
</form>
</body>

Align checkbox and label

I have a form which code looks like this:
<div id="right_sidebar">
<form id="your_name" name="your_name" action="#" method="post" style="display: block; ">
<fieldset>
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="">
<label for="lastname">Last Name</label>
<input type="text" name="lastname" id="lastname">
<label for="msg">Comment <span class="sp"></span></label>
<textarea name="msg" id="msg" rows="7"></textarea>
<input type="checkbox" name="agree">
<label for="agree">Accept the terms</label>
<button class="blue_button" type="submit">Send</button>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>​
And which is styled with the following CSS:
body {
color: #333;
font: 12px Arial,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;
}
#right_sidebar {
padding-top: 12px;
width: 190px;
position:relative;
}
form {
background: #EEF4F7;
border: solid red;
border-width: 1px 0;
display: block;
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 10px;
}
form label {
color: #435E66;
display:block;
font-size: 12px;
}
form textarea {
border: 1px solid #ABBBBE;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding: 4px 3px;
width: 160px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
form label a {
display: block;
padding-left: 10px;
position: relative;
text-decoration: underline;
}
form label a .sp {
background: #EEF4F7;
height: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 2px;
width: 0;
border-top: 4px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 4px solid transparent;
border-left: 4px solid #333;
}
form button.blue_button {
margin-top: 10px;
vertical-align: top;
}
button.blue_button{
color: white;
font-size: 12px;
height: 22px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
button.blue_button {
background-color: #76C8C6;
border: 1px solid #7798B7;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px #567C9E;
}
​As you can see the checkbox is on top of the label. I would like both to be "on the same line". So, it would look like "[ ] Accept the terms". And how would I make that the text is vertically aligned to the checkbox.
How could I do both?
You can see it live here: form, checkbox failing
One option is to amend the style of the label element that follows the checkbox:
​input[type=checkbox] + label {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 0.5em;
margin-right: 2em;
line-height: 1em;
}
JS Fiddle demo.
This is, however, somewhat fragile as the margins are a little arbitrary (and the margin-right is purely to force the following button to the next line). Also the attribute-equals selector may cause problems in older browsers.
As implied, in comments, by Mr. Alien it is actually easier to target the checkbox itself with this selector-notation:
input[type=checkbox] {
float: left;
margin-right: 0.4em;
}
JS Fiddle demo.
It is because the label has display: block on it. It means that (without a float or hack) it will claim it's own line.
Change it to display: inline-block or leave the display rule away and you're done.
Seeing you did this intentionally for the first two labels, you should give the accept the terms label an id and use form #accepttermslabel {display: inline-block}. This will override the other rules et because it is more specific.
Wrap your checkbox and text within the <label> tag. Works with your current CSS as seen here in this jsFiddle Demo.
<label for="checkbox">
​<input id="checkbox" type="checkbox"> My Label
</label>​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Forked your fiddle here with one small change. I nested the checkbox inside the label.
<label for="agree"><input type="checkbox" name="agree">Accept the terms</label>
Hope it helps.
All you need to do is add display: inline to the label. Like this:
label[for="agree"] {
display: inline;
}
You may also have to add the following to get the Send button to stay on its own line:
button[type="submit"] {
display: block;
}
That is enough to make it work, but you could also nest the input inside the label, like this:
<label for="agree">
<input type="checkbox" name="agree" />
Accept the terms
</label>
However, most people avoid doing this because it is semantically constricting. I would go with the first method.
Set a class on the checkbox list as follows:
<asp:CheckBoxList ID="chkProject" runat="server" RepeatLayout="Table" RepeatColumns="3" CssClass="FilterCheck"></asp:CheckBoxList>
Then add the following CSS:
.FilterCheck td {
white-space:nowrap !important;
}
This ensures the label stays on the same line as the checkbox.
I had the same problem with bootstrap 3 horizontal-form, and finally found a try-error solution and works with plain html-css too.
Check my Js Fiddle Demo
.remember {
display: inline-block;
}
.remember input {
position: relative;
top: 2px;
}
<div>
<label class="remember" for="remember_check">
<input type="checkbox" id="remember_check" /> Remember me
</label>
</div>
Tried the flex attribute?
Here's your example with flex added:
HTML
<div id="right_sidebar">
<form id="send_friend" name="send_friend" action="#" method="post" style="display: block; ">
<fieldset>
<label for="from">From</label>
<input type="text" name="from" id="from" value="">
<label for="to">To</label>
<input type="text" name="to" id="to">
<label for="msg">Comment <span class="sp"></span>
</label>
<textarea name="msg" id="msg" rows="7"></textarea>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell" float="left">
<input type="checkbox" name="agree">
</div>
<div class="cell" float="right" text-align="left">
<label for="agree">Accept the terms</label>
</div>
</div>
<button class="blue_button" type="submit">Send</button>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
CSS
body {
color: #333;
font: 12px Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
[class="row"] {
display: flex;
flex-flow: row wrap;
margin: 2 auto;
}
[class="cell"] {
padding: 0 2px;
}
#right_sidebar {
padding-top: 12px;
width: 190px;
position:relative;
}
form {
background: #EEF4F7;
border: solid red;
border-width: 1px 0;
display: block;
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 10px;
}
form label {
color: #435E66;
display:block;
font-size: 12px;
}
form textarea {
border: 1px solid #ABBBBE;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding: 4px 3px;
width: 160px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
form label a {
display: block;
padding-left: 10px;
position: relative;
text-decoration: underline;
}
form label a .sp {
background: #EEF4F7;
height: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 2px;
width: 0;
border-top: 4px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 4px solid transparent;
border-left: 4px solid #333;
}
form button.blue_button {
margin-top: 10px;
vertical-align: top;
}
button.blue_button {
color: white;
font-size: 12px;
height: 22px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
button.blue_button {
background-color: #76C8C6;
border: 1px solid #7798B7;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 0px #567C9E;
}
Flex allows for table style control with the use of divs for example.
The simplest way I found to have the checkbox and the label aligned is :
.aligned {
vertical-align: middle;
}
<div>
<label for="check">
<input class="aligned" type="checkbox" id="check" /> align me
</label>
</div>
<div>
<input class="aligned" type="checkbox" />
<label>align me too</label>
</div>
<div>
<input type="checkbox" />
<label>dont align me</label>
</div>
I know this post is old, but I'd like to help those who will see this in the future. The answer is pretty simple.
<input type="checkbox" name="accept_terms_and_conditions" value="true" />
<label id="margin-bottom:8px;vertical-align:middle;">I Agree</label>
