How to combine grouped inputs with aligned forms? - html

Question

From Pure CSS I want to combine aligned forms:
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pure/0.6.0/forms-min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<form class="pure-form pure-form-aligned">
<fieldset>
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="name">Username</label>
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Username">
</div>
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input id="password" type="password" placeholder="Password">
</div>
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="email" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
with grouped inputs:
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pure/0.6.0/forms-min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<form class="pure-form">
<fieldset class="pure-group">
<input type="text" placeholder="Username">
<input type="text" placeholder="Password">
<input type="email" placeholder="Email">
</fieldset>
</form>
so that the inputs are stacked while still allowing horizontally aligned labels to be placed to the left. How can I achieve this effect?

Answer 1

I came to a solution by applying the grouped input styling to a modified aligned form layout:
.pure-form-aligned .pure-group .pure-control-group {
margin: 0;
}
.pure-form.pure-form-aligned .pure-group .pure-control-group input {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
margin: 0 0 -1px;
border-radius: 0;
top: -1px;
}
.pure-form-aligned .pure-group .pure-control-group:first-child input {
top: 1px;
border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;
margin: 0;
}
.pure-form-aligned .pure-group .pure-control-group:last-child input {
top: -2px;
border-radius: 0 0 4px 4px;
margin: 0;
}
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pure/0.6.0/forms-min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<form class="pure-form pure-form-aligned">
<fieldset class="pure-group">
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="name">Username</label>
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Username">
</div>
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input id="password" type="password" placeholder="Password">
</div>
<div class="pure-control-group">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="email" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>

You can wrap the <label>s in a div and place that div on the left side of the <fieldset>. Like this :-
div.labels{
display : inline-block;
height : 100px;
}
div.labels div{
display : flex;
align-items : center;
justify-content : right;
height : 33.33%;
}
fieldset.pure-group{
height : 100px;
display : inline-block;
}
fieldset.pure-group input{
height : 33.33%;
}
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pure/0.6.0/forms-min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<form class="pure-form">
<div class="labels">
<div>
<label>Name</label>
</div>
<div>
<label>Password</label>
</div>
<div>
<label>Email</label>
</div>
</div>
<fieldset class="pure-group">
<input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Username">
<input type="text" placeholder="Password">
<input type="email" placeholder="Email">
</fieldset>
</form>
