This is an image of a browse button for uploading file. I want to craete a browse button like in this image. How can I do that?

Here's how you do it! Steps:
We use <input type=file> for uploading files. But we don't actually display it.
We use our own customized button and redirect all clicks to our <input type=file>.
Every time our <input type=file> changes its value, we display it in our span.
We style our file browser form to anything we like.
The following were made similar to the image, as close as possible.
.browse-field {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 15px;
color: #999;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #CACACA;
background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0.15), transparent 13%);
}
.browse-field>input[type=file] { display: none; }
.browse-field .file {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 0 0 0.8em;
min-width: 25ch; /* Modify as needed! */
}
.browse-field .btn {
margin: 6px 9px;
padding: 5px 14px;
outline: none;
border: none;
border-radius: 4px;
background: #CACACA;
color: #FFF;
font: inherit;
}
/* Modify the following styles as desired */
.browse-field .btn:hover { background: #DADADA; }
.browse-field .btn:active { background: #CACACA; }
.browse-field .btn:focus { box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$(".browse-field>input[type=file]").each(function(){
var inpfile = $(this);
inpfile.change(function(){
inpfile.siblings(".file").text(this.value)
})
inpfile.siblings(".btn").click(function(){
inpfile.click();
})
})
})
</script>
<div class=browse-field>
<input type=file>
<span class=file>No file selected.</span>
<button class=btn>Browse</button>
</div>

I've p-dropdown, and i need to make its placeholder to going up, when i choose one of the sort options, like on screenshots. Is there any way to achieve it with p-dropdow? Cause when i just add placeholder="Sort by" to p-dropdown, it disappears, when i choose sort options
You can do this with raw html and css as follows. You might be able to adapt it to suit your needs.
.input-container {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0.5rem 0.5rem;
position: relative;
border-radius: 0.25rem;
border: 1px solid lightgray;
}
.input-container>label {
display: none;
font-size: 0.6rem;
position: absolute;
background-color: white;
left: 0.5rem;
top: -0.4rem;
padding-inline: 0.25rem;
}
.input-container:focus-within {
border: 1px solid blue;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 0px #0000ff;
}
.input-container:focus-within>label {
display: inline-block;
}
.input-container:focus-within input::placeholder {
opacity: 0;
}
.input-container>input {
outline: none;
border: none;
}
<div class=input-container><label id='placeholder-text' for='cats'>Choose a cat</label>
<input id='cats' placeholder='Choose a cat' type="text" list="catoptions" />
<datalist id="catoptions">
<option>Tiger</option>
<option>Lion</option>
<option>Jaguar</option>
<option>Kitten</option>
</datalist>
</div>

Cross-browser custom styling for file upload button [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to customize <input type="file">?
(18 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm trying to style a file upload button to my personal preferences, but I couldn't find any really solid ways to do this without JS. I did find two other questions about this subject, but the answers there either involved JavaScript, or suggested Quirksmode's approach.
My major issue with this Quirksmode's approach is that the file button will still have the browser-defined dimensions, so it won't automatically adjust to whatever's used as button that's placed below it. I've made some code, based on it, but it will just take up the space the file button would normally take up, so it won't at all fill the parent div like I want it to.
HTML:
<div class="myLabel">
<input type="file"/>
<span>My Label</span>
</div>
CSS:
.myLabel {
position: relative;
}
.myLabel input {
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
opacity: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
This fiddle demonstrates how this approach is quite flawed. In Chrome, clicking the !! below the second demo button will open the file dialog anyway, but also in all other browsers, the file button doesn't take up the correct areas of the button.
Is there any more solid way to style the file upload button, without any JavaScript, and preferably using as little 'hacky' coding as possible (since hacking usually brings other problems along with it, such as the ones in the fiddle)?
I'm posting this because (to my surprise) there was no other place I could find that recommended this.
There's a really easy way to do this, without restricting you to browser-defined input dimensions. Just use the <label> tag around a hidden file upload button. This allows for even more freedom in styling than the styling allowed via webkit's built-in styling[1].
The label tag was made for the exact purpose of directing any click events on it to the child inputs[2], so using that, you won't require any JavaScript to direct the click event to the input button for you anymore. You'd to use something like the following:
label.myLabel input[type="file"] {
position:absolute;
top: -1000px;
}
/***** Example custom styling *****/
.myLabel {
border: 2px solid #AAA;
border-radius: 4px;
padding: 2px 5px;
margin: 2px;
background: #DDD;
display: inline-block;
}
.myLabel:hover {
background: #CCC;
}
.myLabel:active {
background: #CCF;
}
.myLabel :invalid + span {
color: #A44;
}
.myLabel :valid + span {
color: #4A4;
}
<label class="myLabel">
<input type="file" required/>
<span>My Label</span>
</label>
I've used a fixed position to hide the input, to make it work even in ancient versions of Internet Explorer (emulated IE8- refused to work on a visibility:hidden or display:none file-input). I've tested in emulated IE7 and up, and it worked perfectly.
You can't use <button>s inside <label> tags unfortunately, so you'll have to define the styles for the buttons yourself. To me, this is the only downside to this approach.
If the for attribute is defined, its value is used to trigger the input with the same id as the for attribute on the <label>.
Please find below a way that works on all browsers. Basically I put the input on top the image.
I make it huge using font-size so the user is always clicking the upload button.
.myFile {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
clear: left;
}
.myFile input[type="file"] {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
opacity: 0;
font-size: 100px;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
cursor: pointer;
}
<label class="myFile">
<img src="http://wscont1.apps.microsoft.com/winstore/1x/c37a9d99-6698-4339-acf3-c01daa75fb65/Icon.13385.png" alt="" />
<input type="file" />
</label>
The best example is this one, No hiding, No jQuery, It's completely pure CSS
http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/custom-file-input-styling-webkitblink/
.custom-file-input::-webkit-file-upload-button {
visibility: hidden;
}
.custom-file-input::before {
content: 'Select some files';
display: inline-block;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #f9f9f9, #e3e3e3);
border: 1px solid #999;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 5px 8px;
outline: none;
white-space: nowrap;
-webkit-user-select: none;
cursor: pointer;
text-shadow: 1px 1px #fff;
font-weight: 700;
font-size: 10pt;
}
.custom-file-input:hover::before {
border-color: black;
}
.custom-file-input:active::before {
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #e3e3e3, #f9f9f9);
}
<input type="file" class="custom-file-input">
This seems to take care of business pretty well. A fidde is here:
HTML
<label for="upload-file">A proper input label</label>
<div class="upload-button">
<div class="upload-cover">
Upload text or whatevers
</div>
<!-- this is later in the source so it'll be "on top" -->
<input name="upload-file" type="file" />
</div> <!-- .upload-button -->
CSS
/* first things first - get your box-model straight*/
*, *:before, *:after {
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
label {
/* just positioning */
float: left;
margin-bottom: .5em;
}
.upload-button {
/* key */
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
/* just positioning */
float: left;
clear: left;
}
.upload-cover {
/* basically just style this however you want - the overlaying file upload should spread out and fill whatever you turn this into */
background-color: gray;
text-align: center;
padding: .5em 1em;
border-radius: 2em;
border: 5px solid rgba(0,0,0,.1);
cursor: pointer;
}
.upload-button input[type="file"] {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0;
margin-left: -75px; /* gets that button with no-pointer-cursor off to the left and out of the way */
width: 200%; /* over compensates for the above - I would use calc or sass math if not here*/
height: 100%;
opacity: .2; /* left this here so you could see. Make it 0 */
cursor: pointer;
border: 1px solid red;
}
.upload-button:hover .upload-cover {
background-color: #f06;
}
Any easy way to cover ALL file inputs is to just style your input[type=button] and drop this in globally to turn file inputs into buttons:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("input[type=file]").each(function () {
var thisInput$ = $(this);
var newElement = $("<input type='button' value='Choose File' />");
newElement.click(function() {
thisInput$.click();
});
thisInput$.after(newElement);
thisInput$.hide();
});
});
Here's some sample button CSS that I got from http://cssdeck.com/labs/beautiful-flat-buttons:
input[type=button] {
position: relative;
vertical-align: top;
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
padding: 0;
font-size: 22px;
color:white;
text-align: center;
text-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
background: #454545;
border: 0;
border-bottom: 2px solid #2f2e2e;
cursor: pointer;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 -2px #2f2e2e;
box-shadow: inset 0 -2px #2f2e2e;
}
input[type=button]:active {
top: 1px;
outline: none;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;
box-shadow: none;
}
I just came across this problem and have written a solution for those of you who are using Angular. You can write a custom directive composed of a container, a button, and an input element with type file. With CSS you then place the input over the custom button but with opacity 0. You set the containers height and width to exactly the offset width and height of the button and the input's height and width to 100% of the container.
the directive
angular.module('myCoolApp')
.directive('fileButton', function () {
return {
templateUrl: 'components/directives/fileButton/fileButton.html',
restrict: 'E',
link: function (scope, element, attributes) {
var container = angular.element('.file-upload-container');
var button = angular.element('.file-upload-button');
container.css({
position: 'relative',
overflow: 'hidden',
width: button.offsetWidth,
height: button.offsetHeight
})
}
};
});
a jade template if you are using jade
div(class="file-upload-container")
button(class="file-upload-button") +
input#file-upload(class="file-upload-input", type='file', onchange="doSomethingWhenFileIsSelected()")
the same template in html if you are using html
<div class="file-upload-container">
<button class="file-upload-button"></button>
<input class="file-upload-input" id="file-upload" type="file" onchange="doSomethingWhenFileIsSelected()" />
</div>
the css
.file-upload-button {
margin-top: 40px;
padding: 30px;
border: 1px solid black;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background: transparent;
font-size: 66px;
padding-top: 0px;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 2px solid rgb(255, 228, 0);
color: rgb(255, 228, 0);
}
.file-upload-input {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 2;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
opacity: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}
It's also easy to style the label if you are working with Bootstrap and LESS:
label {
.btn();
.btn-primary();
> input[type="file"] {
display: none;
}
}

Toggle styles on checkbox checked

So, I've been stuck at this for a couple of hours. I'm essentially trying to get a checkbox to work as a toggle button. I want the styles applied by jquery to be only applied when it's checked and back to it's initial if it has been deselected.
The HTML markup:
<form class="simple_form new_mailing_list_form" data-remote="true" id="new_mailing_list_form" method="post">
<div class="input boolean optional mailing_list_form_opt_in">
<input name="mailing_list_form[opt_in]" type="hidden" value="0">
<label class="boolean optional control-label checkbox toggle-button" for="mailing_list_form_opt_in">
<input checked="checked" class="boolean optional" id="mailing_list_form_opt_in" name="mailing_list_form[opt_in]" type="checkbox" value="1">
Yes, I would like to join the mailing list.
</label>
</div>
The SCSS:
#new_mailing_list_form {
.opt {
color: $white;
background-color: $selectiveYellow !important;
border: 2px solid $selectiveYellow !important;
}
.checkbox {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
div label input {
margin-right:100px;
}
.mailing_list_form_opt_in label {
cursor: pointer;
background: transparent;
border: 2px solid $selectiveYellow;
border-radius:2px;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1.4;
overflow:auto;
margin:4px;
padding: 8px 15px;
width: auto;
&:hover {
background-color: $sunglow;
border: 2px solid $sunglow;
color: $white;
}
}
.mailing_list_form_opt_in label {
display:block;
}
.mailing_list_form_opt_in label input {
display: none;
}
.mailing_list_form_opt_in input:checked {
background-color:$selectiveYellow;
color:$white;
}
}
JQuery:
$('#mailing_list_form_opt_in').change(function () {
$(this).parent().css({ 'background-color':'#ffbb00','border':'2px solid #ffbb00', 'color':'#fff' });
});
I've tried using a conditional statement as well, but I start to descend into spaghetti JQuery which doesn't even work.
Work on it so far: Working CodePen link
You could use jQuery's toggleClass() method to change the background whenever a user clicks the element.
$("#checkbox_elem").on( "click", function(){
$(this).toggleClass( 'background-class' );
});
Now all you have to do is have a default style on the element, and place the new CSS rules into the background-class class definition. Clicking the element will toggle the class on the element.
You could use an explicit check on the element if you want to add some more functionality:
$("#checkbox_elem").on( "click", function(){
if ( $(this).is(':checked') ){
// the checkbox is marked as "checked"
// here you can manipulate the style accordingly
}else{
// the checkbox is NOT marked as "checked"
// here you can manipulate the style accordingly
}
});
So, I'm sharing my pure HTML5/CSS3 solution (which doesn't use any JS/JQuery!) to this problem so that it could be helpful for others stuck on something similar.
I refactored my markup as follows,
HTML:
<input id="mailing_list_form_opt_in" name="mailing_list_form[opt_in]" type="checkbox" value="1">
<label for="mailing_list_form_opt_in">Yes, I would like to join the mailing list.</label>
and for the styles, I used the adjacent selector + & the pseudo class :checked to show the behavior on that state. The corresponding styles for that are as follows,
SCSS:
input[type=checkbox] + label {
background: transparent;
border: 2px solid $selectiveYellow;
border-radius: 2px;
-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1.4;
overflow: auto;
margin: 4px;
padding: 8px 15px;
#include transition( 0.25s linear);
width: auto;
&:hover {
background-color: $sunglow;
border: 2px solid $sunglow;
color: $white;
}
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked + label {
background: $selectiveYellow !important;
border: 2px solid $selectiveYellow !important;
color: $white;
}
input[type=checkbox] {
display: none;
}
Works perfectly, added a Codepen so that you can check that out as well! Hope this helps others! :D

Set default css of input type button

I am applying a background image on input type button. for this i have written my code in style.css. But now i want that button will look like as it is default, but my restriction is that i can not delete css style from style.css. But i can override it in other css style1.css.
so how can i override this?
style.css
button
{
background:red;
}
if i override like this it shows nothing.
style1.css
button
{
background:none;
}
Probably a duplicate question for Can you style html form buttons with css?.
Well, as far as button or any other input type is considered you can do that by adding this:
HTML
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Application" id="submit" />
CSS
#submit {
background-color: #ccc;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius:6px;
color: #fff;
font-family: 'Oswald';
font-size: 20px;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: poiner;
border:none;
}
#submit:hover {
border: none;
background:red;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px #777;
}
You can even try this,
input[type="submit"]{
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #000;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;
}
or even, you can add a class:
.my_button_type
{
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #000;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;
}
You can apply inline styling also:
<input type="button" style="background: #333; border: 0px;" />
So, you have many ways to do it.
You can either use inline styles, or use !important.
Example:
style1.css
button
{
background:none !important;
}
Or inline:
<button style="background: none;">
You can do it like this...
button { background:none !important; }
First, precedence is important:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style1.css" />
You must put the css file after the original css that you want to overwrite.
Second, in your style1.css, there are so many approach do achieve what you want. Like cancelling out the css style that you want to overwrite
//style.css
button {
background: url("...");
}
//style1.css
button {
background: none;
}
or using !important to attributes you want to implement.

Can you style html form buttons with css?

I don't like the default button style. It's really boring. I am using
<input type="submit">
type buttons. Can I style these somehow in css? If not, the other way of doing it i guess would be to use a div instead, and make it a link. How do you make those work with forms?
You can achieve your desired through easily by CSS :-
HTML
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Application" id="submit" />
CSS
#submit {
background-color: #ccc;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius:6px;
color: #fff;
font-family: 'Oswald';
font-size: 20px;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
border:none;
}
#submit:hover {
border: none;
background:red;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 1px #777;
}
DEMO
Yeah, it's pretty simple:
input[type="submit"]{
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #000;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #000;
}
I recommend giving it an ID or a class so that you can target it more easily.
Yes you can target those specificaly using input[type=submit] e.g.
.myFormClass input[type=submit] {
margin: 10px;
color: white;
background-color: blue;
}
You can directly create your own style in this way:
input[type=button]
{
//Change the style as you like
}
You might want to add:
-webkit-appearance: none;
if you need it looking consistent on Mobile Safari...
write the below style into same html file head section or write into a .css file
<style type="text/css">
.submit input
{
color: #000;
background: #ffa20f;
border: 2px outset #d7b9c9
}
</style>
<input type="submit" class="submit"/>
.submit - in css . means class , so i created submit class with set of attributesand applied that class to the submit tag, using class attribute
