I am using windows to create a simple HTML form, and I cannot figure out how to create the sub-labels for the various inputs. The picture (link in comment below) shows what I am trying to produce. Is this a Safari only thing? The closest I came was using CSS display:block which allowed me to move the label on top of the input.
You can accomplish that by wrapping each group of label & input within e.g. div, like so:
<div class="form-line">
<div class="form-field">
<input class="form-field-input" id="input1" type="text" placeholder="Your value..." />
<label class="form-field-label" for="input1">
Text 1
</label>
</div>
<!-- other groups go here -->
</div>
Here's the CodePen example
To do this you'd need something like
<input type='name' class='my-input'>
<label for="name">
<span class="label">First</span>
</label>
and then style that.

I have a form page with multiple div class called "inputs"
inside each div is the label of each form line and input for the form info
sample for one of them:
<div class="inputs">
<label for="ProductDesc:_">ProductDesc: </label>
<input disabled="disabled" id="invoices_ProductDesc" name="invoices.ProductDesc" readonly="readonly" type="text" value="Storage charge SC160-0000059 - 5.0 HCTZ0044 2018">
</div>
<div class="inputs">
<label for="SKU:_">SKU: </label>
<input disabled="disabled" id="invoices_ProductSKU" name="invoices.ProductSKU" readonly="readonly" type="text" value="">
</div>
Right now the display is something like:
ProductDesc
info here
SKU
SKU here
How can I make it so it becomes
ProductDesc SKU
info here SKU here
I tried using float:right on the input, and I also tried using display:inline but that didn't seem to work.

Wrap another div around them and set it up as a flexbox container by styling it as display: flex
display: inline-block;
Should work fine, I think there is additional styling that is effecting the overall styling.

Looking the w3Schools Bootstrap's Input Groups examples there are Input Groups Labels that seems that wrap the input box
(here).
Is there any way to do this for checkbox too?
EDIT
The labels have to be inside that grey box attached to the input box (textbox in example case, checkbox in the case i want)
They don't wrap the input field since the closing tag comes right after the opening tag, but you can use label on a checkbox as well as described here in the offical bootsrap docs for forms:
Is it something like this you had in mind?
<div class="container mt-3">
<h2>Checkbox Group Labels</h2>
<form>
<label class="form-check-label" for="exampleCheck1">Check me out</label>
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<div class="form-check">
<input type="checkbox" class="form-check-input" id="exampleCheck1">
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Problem: Grouping form elements
I have an HTML form, where in few places a single control is composed of several inputs. One example is a group of radio buttons.
I'd like to group those inputs and it's label explicitly, so that the screen readers would also (in addition to the visual representation by aligning them on a single line) be able to understand and announce this relationship.
For example, let's say I have a control like this:
<div class="control">
<div class="control-label">Type</div>
<div class="control-inputs">
<input type="radio"
name="type"
value="a"
id="type-a" />
<label for="type-a">A</label>
<input type="radio"
name="type"
value="b"
id="type-b" />
<label for="type-b">B</label>
</div>
</div>
Standard solution problems: Fieldset styling issues
fieldset element and it's child legend seem to be made exactly for that (used in the example below).
The problem is that fieldset and legend elements can't be styled like normal elements (some discussion about it) and nowadays other than in Firefox it's impossible to align them on a single line using Flexbox, which my layout requires.
<fieldset class="control">
<legend class="control-label">Type</legend>
<div class="form-inputs">
<input type="radio"
name="type"
value="a"
id="type-a" />
<label for="type-a">A</label>
<input type="radio"
name="type"
value="b"
id="type-b" />
<label for="type-b">B</label>
</div>
</fieldset>
Question: Is there some other way?
That makes me wonder if there is some accessible way to group several form controls other than using fieldset element?
Possible solution: role="group"?
There is a "group" role (used in the example below), which could be added to a simple div and it looks like it might do the job, but nowhere is stated clearly that it is the functional equivalent to using a fieldset. And if it does, then how do I mark an element of this group to serve as an equivalent of legend?
<div role="group"
class="control">
<div class="control-label">Type</div>
<div class="control-inputs">
<input type="radio"
name="type"
value="a"
id="type-a" />
<label for="type-a">A</label>
<input type="radio"
name="type"
value="b"
id="type-b" />
<label for="type-b">B</label>
</div>
</div>
Basically you have already answered your question in the Possible Solution section (btw, as a blind person, I'm just impressed how you styled your question with headings!). You missed one tiny and simple thing, the aria-label attribute:
<div role="group" class="control" aria-label="Type">
Note: this will be invisible on screen, it is a screen-reader only solution. If however you want to make it visible, do the following using the aria-labelledby attribute instead:
<div role="group" class="control" aria-labelledby="pseudolegend">
<div id="pseudolegend" class="style-it-like-a-legend">Type</div>
[...]
</div>
The pseudolegend may be a span or even a p, of course, if you find it more appropriate.
A quick and dirty local test I made showed that, at least with JAWS and Chrome, there is no difference between a fieldset and a div with aria-label.
Note: For radio button groups in particular you can use role=radiogroup. Also, in order for the semantics of a group or radiogroup to be expressed to screen reader users an accessible name for the grouping element is required.
I would like to create three state button in Angular2 using css- yes/none/no without using jQuery. I found this link in some answer on stackoverflow. The point is, that I need to put a few buttons next to each other, and each of them should be independent- every chosen value should be send to component. I've tried to use label implicitly (remove inputs ids), but it doesn't work. Please see full code: fiddle.
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="toggle_radio">
<label for="first_toggle">First Button <input type="radio" class="first_toggle" name="toggle_option"></label>
<label for="second_toggle">Second Button<input type="radio" checked class="second_toggle" name="toggle_option"></label>
<label for="third_toggle">Third Button <input type="radio" class="third_toggle" name="toggle_option"></label>
<div class="toggle_option_slider">
</div>
</div>
</div>
I'm trying to do something exactly like this sign up form here. They have appended their domain name as undeletable value to allow user to create a sub domain folder. I want to do the same with following input:
<input type="text" class="form-control inputlogin" name="subdomain_name" placeholder="Sub Domain" required="" value=""/>
I found a technique here but I'm not looking to append a prefix. The value must be after like in the example.
It is just a styling trick. input are either completely editable or disabled (not editable at all). There is no way to get around this.
What is done in the form you linked to is a trick where the "frozen" text is placed upon the input field so it looks as if it is a part of the actual input tag, but it is not.
Se my simple jsfiddle illustration. Look at how the styling can be used to create the illusion you want.
Here is an example using Bootstrap 3:
Bootstrap 3 Sub-domain input
<div class="container">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Your sub-domaion here">
<span class="input-group-addon" title="Type of Question">.our-domain.com</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
