File Upload Styling in Chrome - html

I've a html formular in a part of a website, which only specific administration users can access. In this form, you can upload csv files. As only a small group of users can do this, the functionality is more important than the styling. So I decided not to do the usual trick overlaying a div over the field. I just want to archive one thing: The text in the field should look the in Chrome the same as in FF (vertical and horizontal centered text).
Here you can see the both renderings:
FF: http://i.stack.imgur.com/wbHhG.png
Chrome: http://i.stack.imgur.com/1BFHu.png
HTML-Code:
<input type="file" class="button blue full-width" name="csv_file" id="csv_file">
CSS-Styles:
color: #fff;
height: 50px;
line-height: 50px;
padding: 0 10%;
background-image: url("../images/item-hover-button-addtocart-normal.png");
border: medium none;
margin-bottom: 10px;
background-color: #fff;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075) inset;
display: block;
font-size: 14px;
transition: border-color 0.15s ease-in-out 0s, box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s;
width: 100%;

You can fix one of the issues by adding this css:
input[type=file]::-webkit-file-upload-button {
margin: 1px 0;
height: 48px;
}
This makes the button take up more height like in FF and also makes the text vertically centered..
Not so sure how to horizontally center it though, maybe someone else might know a trick.
A jsfiddle to show it working: http://jsfiddle.net/bcwk8qvt/
[edit]
You can make it centered horizontally by adding most of your original CSS to a div wrapped around the input field like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/bcwk8qvt/3/
You still need to keep some of the css on the input field too though for FF to show it the same way.

The CSS transition property acting weird

I have a div that expands in height and changes it's border color on hover.
This is the CSS:
div.options {
width: 80%;
height: 62.7px;
margin: auto;
border-radius: 15px;
border: 3px solid #d0d0d0;
overflow: hidden;
transition: height 1s, border-color 1s;
}
div.options:hover {
height: 627px;
border-color: #656565;
}
<div class="options">Hello</div>
It works as it should on hover, but the problem is that the border color of the div changes from default black to the specified #d0d0d0 right on page load. The problem only occurs with ctrl+f5 reload, not regular reload. How do I make it not do that thing it does?
I have tested this on Firefox 72, Edge 84, and IE 11 with your code and a div like this:
<div class="options"></div>
It is functioning, there is no color flickering from black on page load with or without CTRL+F5.
Perhaps it is something from your side.

Safari takes space around the submit button

I am trying to style buttons in my current cross browser project.
When I checked those buttons in Safari they looked different than in any other browser. In general, buttons looks the same in FF and Chrome. But in Safari buttons have sunknown extra space on top, bottom, left and right sides, so buttons looks wider in Safari rather than in Chrome or other browser. Can I remove the extra space on submit button in Safari?
My current css is:
.location-form-wrapper input[type="submit"] {
border-radius: 0 5px 5px 0;
float: left;
padding: 20px 23.8px;
}
input[type="submit"], input[type="button"], button, input[type="reset"] {
background: #facc26 none repeat scroll 0 0;
border: 1px solid transparent;
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: none;
color: #ffffff;
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
font-family: "latobold";
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 1;
padding: 12px 26px;
text-transform: uppercase;
transition: all 300ms linear 0s;
}
I just came across this very issue, Safari 9.0.2. It might be too trivial, but I just added "margin: 0" to the button's CSS and the - well, margin - went away, letting the button fill the full area I intended for it.

Darken the background beneath white text in CSS

I have a requirement of displaying multiple images in cards and I want to write some text over them. These are random images uploaded by users, so can be of any color. Need the white text on top of them to not be transparent as shown in attached fiddle.
This is an example fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/7dgpbLd8/1/
This was my solution to add some gray div over image. But, the text should be always white on a gray background. But it is also shadowed here. It would be great to know how to shadow the actual background so text is readable.
Either follow Lee's advice (though I'd recommend adding some padding) or use text-shadow, like so.
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 20px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 100px;
color: white;
text-shadow: 0 1px black;
}
.dark {
background: #333;
}
.light {
background: #ccc;
}
<div class="dark">Some text</div>
<div class="light">Some text</div>
Or you can ever merge our two approaches.
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 20px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 100px;
}
.dark {
background: #333;
}
.light {
background: #ccc;
}
span {
color: white;
text-shadow: 0 1px black;
background: #333;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.18);
padding: 4px 8px;
}
<div class="dark"><span>Some text</span></div>
<div class="light"><span>Some text</span></div>
The problem with your post is that you set the opacity. However, when you lower the opacity, not only does the background change, but also all its content. In other words, the text also has a lower opacity in your fiddle. In my fiddle, presented above, you do not have this problem because you use rgba. RGBA uses the default RGB color representation, but adds an alpha layer component to that (i.e.: opacity). This means that you can add a color that is (semi-)transparent.
It works in the same way as opacity, simply add the value you want for the color (let's say 0.8), and add it after the default rgb values. An example: RGB for white is 255,255,255 and for black 0,0,0. If you want those to have an opacity of 0.8, add 0.8 at the back: rgba(255,255,255,0.8) or rgba(0,0,0,0.8) respectively. By doing this, only the opacity of the background will change, and not that of the text. For an example, see the examples above.
I would put the image(s) in a div with a dark background, then lower the opacity of the images themselves, darkening the images so you can read the text. This way you can also darken the image on hover for better readability.
http://jsfiddle.net/3w34k1ea/
.img-wrapper{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: #000;
}
img {
width: 100%
height: 100%;
opacity: .5;
}
img:hover{
opacity: .3;
}
p {
color: white;
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
left: 15px;
font-size: 20px;
}
I would use text shadow in your position but insteed of one I would experiment with multiples shaodws till reaching the best solution. For example:
text-shadow: 2px 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.8), 0px 0px 2px rgba(0,0,0,1);
FIDDLE
The easiest way and best result at the same time is simply using a semi-transparent overlay, e.g.: https://jsfiddle.net/zmpwunr7
<div class="box">
<div class="overlay top">
text
</div>
<img ... />
</div>
.box {
position: relative;
}
.box .overlay {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.50);
color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
position: absolute;
}
.box .overlay.top {
top: 0px;
}
Put the text inside a <span> tag and give it a class, then in your CSS file:
span.your-class {
background:rgba(255,255,255,0.5);
padding:1em; // Adds a nice comfortable spacer between the text and the div edge
}
This will put the text inside a semi-transparent box ontop of the image.
Experiment with your text colour, and the background colour until you're happy.
Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/9svp8qoh/
There are some answers here that will help you make the text more readable. But they do not darken the background images which is what you asked for. You could achieve this by using css filters, e.g. the brightness filter:
img {
filter: brightness(20%);
}
A value of 0 means a completely black image, a higher value will bring you a brighter result. Example: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/OPqRJK
Attention: only Firefox supports at the moment the unprefixed version, IE has no filter support. See http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-filters
If you need to support these browser, have a look at the answer from BenSlight. It's basically the same solution.
For further reading: there's a nice article on css-tricks.com explaining all possibilities we have with css filters: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/f/filter/
I had this scenario once. I compromised creating span with opacity 0.5 and giving dark background, and then placing the text. If I understood you question correctly this could be a solution for you.
You can add opacity only to background:
rgba(255,0,0,0.5)
Check this post
you can use background property of css where in you can give color and image path
eg :-
background:#FFFFFF url("image path");
This will add background color to image.

how to fade-out/blur div's borders with css?

I have read a lot of topic about this problem but nothing has worked so far.
the easiest method I have read about involves using box-shadow, but this results in the shadow having a different color to the box even though the code of the color is the same (#141414).
Question
How can I get a fade-out/blur border for a div box? It's quite hard to explain in writing so I made this image to give you the idea (ignore the background). If you look closely you can see the blending and the color is uniform, fading to transparent.
box-shadow as i said, doesn't work for me.
body {
background-image:url('http://phptesting.altervista.org/tessuto.png');
background-repeat: repeat;
}
div {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #141414;
border: 2px solid #141414;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 5px #141414;
border-radius: 10px;
}
<html>
<body>
<div></div>
</body>
</html>
box-shadow IS actually the only CSS way to get this effect. Try something like this:
div {
margin: 25px 10px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #141414;
box-shadow: 0 0 15px 10px #141414;
}
<div></div>
changes the color with fade effect
#yourIDhere:hover{
transition-property: border-color;
transition-duration: 0.5s;
border-color: #976958;
}
Here is how to fade a border using Styled Components. It is based on https://styled-components.com/docs/api
Other answers provided a way to animate the component but I just wanted to fade the border, not the component. After playing with it I realized that I just have to specify the border attribute.
import styled, { keyframes } from 'styled-components';
const fadeOut = keyframes`
0% { border: 2px solid blue; };
100% { border: 2px solid white; };
`
const MyStyle = styled.div`
animation: ${fadeOut} ease 3s;
transition-property: border-color;
transition-duration: 0.5s;
`

Make div with opacity:0 have no physical dimensions

I'm creating a function where you hover over a div, which will result in another div appearing; a simple, CSS-only pop-over.
However, whenever the pop-over-div has an opacity:0, it still has a physical height and width, rendering other divs under the pop-over unreachable.
I know I can work with display:none and display:block, but this will remove the possibility of adding a smooth "arrival" of the div; it'll just pop in and out of the screen.
The question: Is there a way to remove the physical dimensions of a div with opacity:0?
In my JSfiddle, you will notice you can get the .iconhover to appear when you hover over the H or e. If you hover over the rest of the word, you're officially hovering over .iconhover and not .wishicon, resulting in the pop-over not showing up.
I hope my question is clear enough.
HTML
<div class="qs">
<div class="wishicon">Hello world</div>
<div class="iconhover">Hovering...</div>
</div>
CSS
.iconhover {
height: auto;
width: 100px;
margin-left:-0px;
color: #fff;
background-color: #666;
box-shadow: 0 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,1), 0 2px 0px rgba(0,0,0,1), 0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.5);
margin-top:-20px;
margin-left: 20px;
border-radius: 5px;
opacity: 0;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1.5em;
font-weight: normal;
transition: opacity 0.5s, margin 0.5s;
-webkit-transition: opacity 0.5s, margin 0.5s;
padding:4px 20px;
text-align: center;
position:absolute;
float: left;
}
.qs > .wishicon:hover + .iconhover {
opacity: 1;
margin-top: -20px;
margin-left: 20px
}
I have a terrific solution which I use often.
On the element with opacity: 0 put pointer-events: none.
It will still have the dimensions, but it will be as if all events are inactive.
Then when you want it to be opacity: 1, return pointer-events to auto.
This is the next best thing to using display: block/none but it can be transitioned!
That would certainly be nice, but alas, I'm not aware of any "ghost" CSS property.
I would treat it the same as a hover menu: make the parent hoverable instead of the previous sibling:
.qs:hover > .iconhover { opacity: 1; ... }
