White space between two inputs in a form - html

I`m making a form with this code
HTML
<form id="advanced_search" action="" class="clearfix">
<input type="text" id="check_in_date" placeholder="Check In Date">
<input type="text" id="check_out_date" placeholder="Check Out Date">
<input type="text" id="min_price" placeholder="Min. Price">
<input type="text" id="max_price" placeholder="Max. Price">
<input type="text" id="keywords" placeholder="Keywords">
</form>
CSS
#advanced_search {display: none;}
#advanced_search input
{
width: 30%;
height: 100px;
background: #cbe0f4;
padding-left: 10%;
padding-right: 10%;
border: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
font: 20px 'Lato', sans-serif;
}
input:focus {outline: 0}
input::-webkit-input-placeholder{
color: #95badf;
}
#advanced_search input:last-of-type {
width: 100%
}
#max_price,
#check_out_date {
float: right;
}
#advanced_search
#check_out_date {
background: #cbe0f4 url(img/calendar_icon.png) no-repeat;
background-position: 80% 50%;
}
#advanced_search #check_in_date {
background: #cbe0f4 url(img/calendar_icon.png) no-repeat;
background-position: 80% 50%;
}
But in Google Chrome it have a white line like this between two inputs
What should I do to fix this problem? Thanks

The line is caused by the white space between the elements:
<input type="text" id="check_in_date" placeholder="Check In Date"> //white space is here
<input type="text" id="check_out_date" placeholder="Check Out Date">
You can remove it with this style:
#advanced_search input {
float: left;
}
Fiddle

Or if you hate floats you can set a font size 0 on the container div, and display them inline block:
#advanced_search {
font-size: 0;
}
#advanced_search input {
width: 30%;
height: 100px;
background: #cbe0f4;
padding-left: 10%;
padding-right: 10%;
border: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
font: 20px'Lato', sans-serif;
display: inline-block;
}
input:focus {
outline: 0
}
input::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: #95badf;
}
#advanced_search input:last-of-type {
width: 100%
}
#advanced_search #check_out_date {
background: #cbe0f4 url(img/calendar_icon.png) no-repeat;
background-position: 80% 50%;
}
#advanced_search #check_in_date {
background: #cbe0f4 url(img/calendar_icon.png) no-repeat;
background-position: 80% 50%;
}
<form id="advanced_search" action="" class="clearfix">
<input type="text" id="check_in_date" placeholder="Check In Date">
<input type="text" id="check_out_date" placeholder="Check Out Date">
<input type="text" id="min_price" placeholder="Min. Price">
<input type="text" id="max_price" placeholder="Max. Price">
<input type="text" id="keywords" placeholder="Keywords">
</form>

How can I get the label text to the left of the input field?

I am not able to understand how I can get the label from top of the input field to the left. The label text is on top of the input field. How can I get it to the left of the input field for the contact information part? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

You can reset width and display on inputs and/or use float.
It can be a reset at any time or within the mediaquerie.
You can also filter within which fieldset you need this reset to be effective.(example below)

.formcenter fieldset:first-of-type input{
float: left;
line-height: 1.2em;

You can do this fairly easily:
Full Name: <input type="text" name="fullname" placeholder="Required" id="inputfield">
This will just make the text appear to the left side of the input itself.
I used this method for a newsletter input I was doing:
Name: <input id="nameInput" type="text" name="name" required><br>

Difference between font-size 190% and 200%

When I set the font-size: 200%
When I set the font-size: 190%:
I tested it on the firefox and I found it.
I don't know why "font-size: 200%" makes these differences...
body {
font-size: 190%;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
input {
width: 300px;
padding: 5px 5px 12px 5px;
font-size: 25px;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px gray solid;
}
#wrapper {
margin: 0, auto;
width: 1000px;
}
lable {
width: 100px;
float: left;
}
.element-container {
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="element-container">
<lable for="email">Email</lable>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="input the email here">
</div>
<div class="element-container">
<lable for="phone">Telephone</lable>
<input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" placeholder="input the phone number here">
</div>
</div>
you can give it a padding-right of 5% which will move the box away from the text.
lable {
width: 100px;
float: left;
padding-right:5%;
}

How do I add a pixel of space between my inputs?

I have these fields in a search form …
<form id="search-form" action="/events/search" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="get"><input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="✓">
<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" placeholder="First Name" class="searchField">
<input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" placeholder="Last Name" class="searchField">
<input type="text" name="event" id="event" placeholder="Event" class="searchField">
<input alt="Search" type="image" src="http://www.racertracks.com/assets/magnifying-glass-0220f37269f90a370c3bb60229240f2ef2a4e15b335cd42e64563ba65e4f22e4.png" class="search_button">
</form>
then I have this style for the form …
#search-form {

Problem is, the elements appear right next to each other — https://jsfiddle.net/fmy1syfw/ . I would like at least a pixel of space between them to not make everything seem so cramped. I have tried adding
margin: 1px;
to the above style, but to no avail. How do I add a pixel of space between my elements without breaking the behavior of the form at different screen widths?
Just add margin as required to the inputs and remove it in your media queries (again, as required).
Since you have used fixed widths of 50% in you media query, these will have to be adjusted using calc to account for the extra margin.

HTML/CSS sign up form

I am currently working on creating a sign up form html/css. I realised that different browsers work differently on the width of inputs. How can i rectify this issue and make sure that my sign up form is compatible with all browsers. My sign up form works perfectly for chrome as it is where i do coding on.

It's always a good idea to use something like normalize.css or any other CSS reset code (eric meyer css reset is very popular too) to reset CSS across all browsers.
Any browser come with it's defaults values for padding's,margins,widths, heights etc...
I guess it won't be an 100% solution but it will defiantly will take you closer to what you're looking for.
Do not jump to position relative and absolute. If you are new to all this, I can understand it seems the most natural way to go about positioning elements; just using a top and left position and that's that. But this is not how you should do it on the web!
Below you can find how I would do it.
Matan G. is right in pointing out that a CSS reset/normalize is often used, and I do so myself as well. However, before you do that (and considering you're new) it would be wise to take a look at the code that I posted and see if it makes any sense to you. If not, ask.
It is important to note that you should avoid these things when possible:
setting a fixed width to text items such as headings, paragraphs, lists.
using relative/absolute positioning. They are very useful but only when necessary.
using too many divs/classes than actually needed. Don't overcrowd your HTML.

Issue getting a submit button to center in a wrap

For some reason I cannot get the submit button to center. I have tried everything from text-align: center; to margin: 0 auto; to a left and right margin at auto. The button will not center anyway I try. What am I failing to do?
.contactForm {
border: 2px solid black;
background-color: #F0F0F0;
width: 40%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 40px;
}
.contactButton {
margin-top: 15px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-left: auto;
width: 425px;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 14px;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #800000;
border: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
}
<div class="contactForm">
<form action="" method="post" id="mycontactform">
<input type="text" class="inputbar" name="name" placeholder="Full Name" required>
<input type="email" class="inputbaremail" name="email" placeholder="Email" required>
<textarea rows="4" cols="50" name="message" class="inputbarmessage" placeholder="Message" required></textarea>
<label for="contactButton">
<input type="button" class="contactButton" value="Send Message" id="submit">
</label>
</form>
</div>
It's hard to center is, because it is inside a label. The label is an inline element too and will size around the button. Therefor text-align: center and other solutions don't work.
In the snippet below, I've made the label show itself as a block element, which automatically occupies the available width of the parent. Then you can easily center the button inside it:
The added piece:
label[for="contactButton"] {
display: block;
text-align: center;
}
The whole code:
.contactForm {
border: 2px solid black;
background-color: #F0F0F0;
width: 40%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 40px;
}
.contactButton {
margin-top: 15px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-left: auto;
width: 425px;
/* Make sure the button isn't too wide on small screens */
max-width: 80%;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 14px;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #800000;
border: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
}
label[for="contactButton"] {
display: block;
text-align: center;
}
<div class="contactForm">
<form action="" method="post" id="mycontactform">
<input type="text" class="inputbar" name="name" placeholder="Full Name" required>
<input type="email" class="inputbaremail" name="email" placeholder="Email" required>
<textarea rows="4" cols="50" name="message" class="inputbarmessage" placeholder="Message" required></textarea>
<label for="contactButton">
<input type="button" class="contactButton" value="Send Message" id="submit">
</label>
</form>
</div>
Use text-align:center on the parent div.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/gopal/su3vg018/
.contactForm {
text-align:center;
}
Add this to your css file:
.contactForm label[for="contactButton"] {
display: block;
text-align: center;
}
