Here's what I currently have:
<input type="text" name="amount" style="height:40px;width:200px;font-size:23px;text-align:center;" value="${$amount}" />
This is the part I'm specifically talking about:
value="${$amount}"
By default that shows $10.00 which is what I want. However, I don't want users to be able to edit the $ symbol. It should always remain there AND I don't want the dollar symbol submitted with the form. It's simply there for appearance so that users know the currency.
You can put the dollar sign as a background image for the input and leave some padding-left so that the text doesn't go over the background image.
You could use a pseudo element.
DEMO
<label>Label</label>
<span><input type="text" placeholder="Placeholder"></span>
input {
padding: 10px;
padding-left: 15px;
margin-left: 10px;
}
span:before {
content: "$";
position: relative;
left:10px;
margin-right: -15px;
}
Requires a wrapper element around your input as you cant generate a pseudo element on an input
Your best option is to put the sign outside the input element.
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/mgmBE/45/
HTML:
<div class="input-container">
<input type="text" value="amount" name="" />
<span class="unit">$</span>
</div>
CSS:
.input-container {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
}
.input-container input {
width: 100%;
}
.input-container .unit {
position: absolute;
top: 3px;
right: -3px;
background-color: grey;
color: #ffffff;
padding-left: 5px;
width:20px;
}
Pseudo Element is the best option as very easy to place.
<label>Input:</label><span><input type="text" placeholder="Placeholder"></span>
CSS
input {
padding: 10px;
margin-left:15px;
}
span:before {
content: "$";
margin-right:-15px;
position: relative;
left:10px;
}

What would be correct approach to aligning placeholder to the top of the field, while input text appearing normally in the middle?
Any way to do that with CSS on input/::placeholder only, or should i rather construct a wrapper with span that would disappear when active and input field below it?
Here's a fiddle of what i've got now: https://jsfiddle.net/ejsLfvdn/1/
And that's what it should look like up to customers will:
The input masks are not the case here, i'm only struggling with the placeholder being aligned to the top, while input should appear normally in the middle. The placeholder MUST disappear after filling input.
I don't think that you will be able to do this by directly targeting the placeholder pseudo class (::placeholder).
Only a small subset of CSS properties can be applied to this element and position is not one of them:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::placeholder
I think you will need to take the approach of a wrapper with span and input and position appropriately.
You could use something like this with the only issue being the input must have the required attribute.
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.input {
display: flex;
flex-flow: column-reverse nowrap;
border: 1px solid gray;
width: 220px;
}
.input input:valid + label {
opacity: 0;
}
.input input {
width: 100%;
padding: 10px;
border: none;
}
<div class="input">
<input required id="username" name="username" type="text" />
<label for="username">Username</label>
</div>
I hope I achieved what you need.
btw, I used jquery to hide the placeholder while typing and display it again if the field is empty.
$('.form-control').keyup(function(){
var val = $(this).val();
if(val == ""){
$('.placeholder').show();
}else{
$('.placeholder').hide();
}
});
.input-cont{
position: relative;
}
.form-control{
border: 1px solid #DDD;
border-radius: 5px;
height: 40px;
padding-left: 8px;
}
.placeholder{
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
left: 8px;
color: #3dc185;
font-size: 12px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<html>
<body>
<form>
<div class="input-cont">
<span class="placeholder">Imię</span>
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="name">
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
You can use translateY(-100%) on your placeholder to move the text upwards and then give your textbox some padding at the top to reveal the text:
.placeholder-offset {
font-size: 20px;
padding-top: 25px;
}
.placeholder-offset::placeholder {
color: red;
transform: translateY(-100%);
}
<input type="text" placeholder="Username" class="placeholder-offset" />
I have a 'row' div that contains, essentially, a label, then a text input, then a hyperlink. My problem here is I wish the width of the input to always fill the available width between the label and the hyperlink. I have tried numerous approaches, but with only varied forms of failure. I suspect maybe I can use some sort of margin voodoo to make the a tag not absolute, and always have the input neatly bounded by the lable and the a, but I am now at a complete loss as to what to try next.
Here is my HTML:
<fieldset id="ctl00_cph_previousContacts" class="previousContactsArea">
<legend>Previous Contacts</legend>
<div class="email-row">
<label for="ctl00_cph_addressTo">To</label>
<input name="ctl00$cph$addressTo" type="text" id="ctl00_cph_addressTo" class="email-address text" />
Add...
<span id="ctl00_cph_addressToValidator" dynamic="True" style="display:none;"></span>
</div>
</fieldset>
And here is the CSS:
.manualNotification #recipientsTab .email-row {
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.manualNotification #recipientsTab .email-row label {
display: inline-block;
width: 50px;
text-align: center;
}
.manualNotification #recipientsTab .email-row a {
position: absolute;
width: 50px;
right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
}
Flexbox can do that
.email-row {
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
display: flex;
}
.email-row label {
flex: 0 0 50px;
text-align: center;
}
.email-row input {
flex: 1;
}
.email-row a {
flex: 0 0 50px;
margin-left: 10px;
}
<fieldset id="ctl00_cph_previousContacts" class="previousContactsArea">
<legend>Previous Contacts</legend>
<div class="email-row">
<label for="ctl00_cph_addressTo">To</label>
<input name="ctl00$cph$addressTo" type="text" id="ctl00_cph_addressTo" class="email-address text" />
Add...
<span id="ctl00_cph_addressToValidator" dynamic="True" style="display:none;"></span>
</div>
</fieldset>

Is it possible to insert units inside an input element? Inside the <input> element is preferred, but outside is acceptable.
You can use something like this.
Outside box:
<input></input><span style="margin-left:10px;">lb</span>
Inside box:
<input style="padding-right:20px; text-align:right;" value="50"></input><span style="margin-left:-20px;">lb</span>

You can make use of bootstrap input-group component.
Note: The example below uses bootstrap 4 classes
<div class="input-group">
<input type="number" class="form-control">
<div class="input-group-append">
<span class="input-group-text"> m </span>
</div>
</div>
Here is the result below:
I would do this by nudging an extra element (like a span) over the input using position: relative and left: -20px.
Then some padding-right on the input element to ensure that the user's input wont overlap on the new element.
Example here:
https://jsfiddle.net/peg3mdsg/1/
If you want the units to show up right beside the number, you can try this trick (https://jsfiddle.net/ccallendar/5f8wzc3t/24/). The input value is rendered in a div that is positioned on top of the input, with the value part hidden. That way the units are positioned correctly. Just make sure to use the identical styles (font sizes, colors, padding etc).
const input = document.getElementById("input");
const hiddenValue = document.getElementById("hiddenValue");
const unitsValue = document.getElementById("unitsValue");
input.addEventListener("input", () => {
hiddenValue.innerHTML = input.value;
// Only show units when there is a value?
// unitsValue.innerHTML = (input.value.length > 0 ? " km" : "");
});
.wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 80px;
}
#input {
border: 2px solid #fee400;
background-color: #373637;
width: 100%;
font-family: serif;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 25px;
font-weight: normal;
padding: 3px 3px 3px 10px;
color: white;
}
.units {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 10px;
bottom: 0;
pointer-events: none;
overflow: hidden;
display: flex;
/* Match input styles */
font-family: serif;
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 25px;
font-weight: normal;
/* includes border width */
padding: 5px 5px 5px 12px;
color: white;
opacity: 0.8;
}
.invisible {
visibility: hidden;
}
#unitsValue {
/* Support spaces */
white-space: pre;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<input id="input"type="number" value="12" />
<div class="units">
<span class="invisible" id="hiddenValue">12</span>
<span class="units-value" id="unitsValue"> km</span>
</div>
</div>
Since you are using bootstrap, you can use input-groups component and override some of the bootstrap styling :
HTML
<div class="input-group unity-input">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter unity value" aria-describedby="basic-addon2" /> <span class="input-group-addon" id="basic-addon2">
lbs
</span>
</div>
CSS
.input-group {
top:40px;
width:auto;
}
.unity-input .form-control {
border-right:0!important;
}
.unity-input .input-group-addon {
background:white!important;
border-left:none!important;
font-weight:bold;
color:#333;
}
Fiddle
Here: (numbers are arbitrary and you can play around with those, what's important is to float the input and the negative margin on the span holding the measurement unit)
CSS:
#form>span {
display: inline-block;
padding-top: 5px;
margin-left: -16px;
}
#form>input {
padding: 5px 16px 5px 5px;
float:left;
}
HTML:
<div id="form">
<span class="units">lb</span>
<input type="text" placeholder="Value" />
</div>
JSFiddle DEMO
The problem I have found with all of the previous answers is that, if you change the length of the units (for example, "€/month" instead of "lb") the <span> element won't be correctly aligned.
I found a better answer in another post, and it's really simple:
Html
<div class="wrapper">
<input></input>
<span class="units">lb</span>
</div>
CSS
.wrapper{
position: relative;
}
.units {
position: absolute;
right: 14px (or the px that fit with your design);
}
This way, you can even put a long unit such as "€/month" and it will still be correctly positioned.
using bootstrap:
<label for="idinput">LABEL</label>
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<input class="form-control" name="idinput" type="text" pattern="(-?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?)" [(ngModel)]="input"/>
<div class="input-group-append">
<span class="input-group-text" id="basic-addon2">m3/s</span>
</div>
</div>
The only thing you can try with strictly css and html is placeholder and text align left. with jquery you could you the .addClass command.
http://jsfiddle.net/JoshuaHurlburt/34nzt2d1/1/
input {
text-align:right;
}
I have an input of type button that is used to validate a form an input of type text.
I have seen that, for example, bootstrap lets you append some values to input. I am wondering how would I do append this input of type button into my input of type text.
I have added a screenshot of how I am thinking of it to be, but I am not sure which CSS strategy I would choose.
Thanks
It is nothing but a submit button with a text field

.wrap {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;

input[type=text] {
padding: 10px;
width: 300px;
padding-right: 60px;
}
input[type=button] {
padding: 2px;
position: absolute;
right: 5px;
top: 5px;
}
Please answer the following questions:
How to merge search box and search button as shown in below example1 and example2? The box and button are joined together.
How to put 'magnifier' icon on the left side of the search box?
How to put a default text into the box like 'Search for items' and fade it when user clicks on the box.
Example1
Example2
Example3 (I don't want a separate button as shown below)
Please help! Thanks!!
Easiest way is to make the entire text field wrapper, from the icon on the left to the button on the right, one div, one image.
Then put a textfield inside that wrapper with a margin-left of like 30px;
Then put a div inside the wrapper positioned to the right and add a click listener to it.
HTML:
<div id="search_wrapper">
<input type="text" id="search_field" name="search" value="Search items..." />
<div id="search_button"></div>
</div>
CSS:
#search_wrapper{
background-image:url('/path/to/your/sprite.gif');
width:400px;
height:40px;
position:relative;
}
#search_field {
margin-left:40px;
background-transparent;
height:40px;
width:250px;
}
#search_button {
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:0;
width:80px;
height:40px;
}
JQuery:
$(function(){
// Click to submit search form
$('#search_button').click(function(){
//submit form here
});
// Fade out default text
$('#search_field').focus(function(){
if($(this).val() == 'Search items...')
{
$(this).animate({
opacity:0
},200,function(){
$(this).val('').css('opacity',1);
});
}
});
});
For your first question, there are many ways to accomplish the joining of the button to the search box.
The easiest is to simply float both elements to the left:
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<input placeholder="Search items..."/>
<button>Search</button>
</div>
CSS:
input,
button {
float: left;
}
Fiddle
This method has some limitations, however, such as if you want the search box to have a percentage-based width.
In those cases, we can overlay the button onto the search box using absolute positioning.
.wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 75%;
}
input {
float: left;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding-right: 80px;
width: 100%;
}
button {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
width: 80px;
}
Fiddle
The limitation here is that the button has to be a specific width.
Probably the best solution is to use the new flexbox model. But you may have some browser support issues.
.wrapper {
display: flex;
width: 75%;
}
input {
flex-grow: 2;
}
Fiddle
For your second question (adding the magnifier icon), I would just add it as a background image on the search box.
input {
padding-left: 30px;
background: url(magnifier.png) 5px 50% no-repeat;
}
You could also play around with icon fonts and ::before pseudo-content, but you'll likely have to deal with browser inconsistencies.
For your third question (adding placeholder text), just use the placeholder attribute. If you need to support older browsers, you'll need to use a JavaScript polyfill for it.
It's all in the CSS... You want something like this:
http://www.red-team-design.com/how-to-create-a-cool-and-usable-css3-search-box
Also, for the search icon:
http://zenverse.net/create-a-fancy-search-box-using-css/
Src: Quick Google.
You don't merge them, rather you give the illusion that you have. This is just CSS. Kill the search box borders, throw it all into a span with a white background and then put the fancy little dot barrier between the two things. Then toss in some border radius and you are in business.
The above tut might look too lengthy. The basic idea is this:
Arrange the input box just like you do. The input text box should be followed by the button. add the following css to do that.
position:relative;
top:-{height of your text box}px;
or you can use absolute positioning.
<div id="search_wrapper">
<input type="text" id="search_field" name="search" placeholder="Search items..." />
<div id="search_button">search</div>
</div>
#search_wrapper{
background-color:white;
position:relative;
border: 1px solid black;
width:400px;
}
#search_field {
background-transparent;
border-style: none;
width: 350px;
}
#search_button {
position:absolute;
display: inline;
border: 1px solid black;
text-align: center;
top:0;
right:0;
width:50px;
}

This is pretty much easy if You use bootstrap with custom css
My output is diffrent but the logic works as it is..
I have used Bootstrap 5 here you can also achieve this by using Pure CSS,
<div class="container my-5">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-10 p-0 inputField text-center">
<input type="text" id="cityName"placeholder="Enter your City name..">
<input type="submit" value="search" id="submitBtn">
</div>
</div>
</div>
For Styling
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Ubuntu&display=swap');
* {
font-family: 'Ubuntu', sans-serif;
}
.inputField {
position: relative;
width: 80%;
}
#cityName {
width: 100%;
background: #212529;
padding: 15px 20px;
color: white;
border-radius: 25px;
outline: none;
border: none;
}
#submitBtn {
position: absolute;
right: 6px;
top: 5px;
padding: 10px 20px;
background: rgb(0, 162, 255);
color: white;
border-radius: 40px;
border: none;
}
