I have a form with a textfield and a textarea and both of them have a placeholder. But the font style of the placeholder is different as compared to the textfield and textarea. Please show me how to keep the same font style.
<form>
<input type="text" placeholder="just for testing the style">
<textarea placeholder="just for testing the style"></textarea>
</form>
You need to set them to the same font family in the CSS:
textarea,
input[type=text] {
font-family:Arial;
}
You need to mention font family for textarea like here
css
textarea{font-family:arial;}

I have a placeholder in a page but am having trouble replacing the text with CSS. The input color, size, and font-style changes, but not the content? How can I replace the placeholder content?
input::placeholder {
color: black;
font-style: italic;
content:"This isn't changing";
}
<input type="text" class="input-text" name="job_location" id="job_location" placeholder="e.g. "London"" value="" maxlength="">
As far as I can tell from looking at the docs you can not update the content through css for placeholder
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::placeholder
You could consider using js to update the placeholder.
document.getElementsByName('job_location')[0].placeholder='new text';
I am using jquery form validation and I need to apply color code for all the textboxes in the form without specifying each textbox id in the Css. Instead How to apply css for all the text box in the form using the form id. Please let me know is there any solutions.Thanks in advance.
#formID input[type="text"]{
Put your css here
}
in css, you can do this:
form input {
// Your formatting comes here..
}
or if you want this to apply for a specific form having an id="myForm":
#myForm input {
// formatting comes here for example: color:red;
}
The background knowledge for this is CSS Selectors.
If by textboxes you mean <input type="text"> and <textarea> elements, you can simply style them using the following:
#formid input[type=text],
#formid textarea {
/* CSS rules */
}
Note that <input> elements with types other than text exist. Read more about those here.
Try this...
#frm1>input[type="text"]{
border:1px solid red;
width:100px;
margin:1%;
}
<form id="frm1">
<input type="text" />
<input type="text" />
<input type="text" />
<input type="text" />
</form>
You can use the .children() function of the jQuery api to set the css properties of the form elements.
eg : jsFiddle
$('#FormID').children().css("property", "value");
I have two forms on my site but am struggling to style them differently.
I want all text areas/inputs on the website to have the same style except for one form.
So all forms on the site use this css...
input, textarea {
background-color:#eae7e7 !important;
}
How do I go about changing the background color on another form as per below?
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control input-sm" id="name" placeholder="Your Name">
</div>
.form-control input, .form-control textarea doesn't seem to work?
An easy way is to add an id to the form in question:
<div class="form-control" id="my-form">
Then, style the inputs in css like:
#my-form input {your-style:value;}
.form-control input, .form-control textarea
Seems that you have this kind of code :
<div class="form-control">
<input>
</div>
Your CSS selector should be like this :
input.form-control, textarea.form-control don't forget the `!important` when you apply the css property
Try:
input.form-control {
background-color: #000 !important;
}
You'll have to add !important to your css also in order to overwrite the styles applied to input, textarea. However, if possible, you should remove the !important altogether unless 100% necessary.
How can I change the font size of text inside the textbox in html.
For a <input type='text'> element:
input { font-size: 18px; }
or for a <textarea>:
textarea { font-size: 18px; }
or for a <select>:
select { font-size: 18px; }
you get the drift.
To actually do it in HTML with inline CSS (not with an external CSS style sheet)
<input type="text" style="font-size: 44pt">
A lot of people would consider putting the style right into the html like this to be poor form. However, I frequently make extreeemly simple web pages for my own use that don't even have a <html> or <body> tag, and such is appropriate there.
Here are some ways to edit the text and the size of the box:
rows="insertNumber"
cols="insertNumber"
style="font-size:12pt"
Example:
<textarea rows="5" cols="30" style="font-size: 12pt" id="myText">Enter
Text Here</textarea>
How do you increase the height of an textbox? (along with its font size)
I'm assuming from the way you worded the question that you want to change the size after the page has rendered?
In Javascript, you can manipulate DOM CSS properties, for example:
document.getElementById('textboxid').style.height="200px";
document.getElementById('textboxid').style.fontSize="14pt";
If you simply want to specify the height and font size, use CSS or style attributes, e.g.
//in your CSS file or <style> tag
#textboxid
{
height:200px;
font-size:14pt;
}
<!--in your HTML-->
<input id="textboxid" ...>
Or
<input style="height:200px;font-size:14pt;" .....>
Note that if you want a multi line text box you have to use a <textarea> instead of an <input type="text">.
Increasing the font size on a text box will usually expand its size automatically.
<input type="text" style="font-size:16pt;">
If you want to set a height that is not proportional to the font size, I would recommend using something like the following. This prevents browsers like IE from rendering the text inside at the top rather than vertically centered.
.form-text{
padding:15px 0;
}
<input type="text" style="font-size:xxpt;height:xxpx">
Just replace "xx" with whatever values you wish.
With inline style:
<input type="text" style="font-size: 18pt; height: 40px; width:280px; ">
or with apart CSS:
HTML:
<input type="text" id="txtbox">
CSS:
#txtbox {
font-size: 18pt;
height: 42px;
width : 300px;
}
If you want multiple lines consider this:
<textarea rows="2"></textarea>
Specify rows as needed.
Don't the height and font-size CSS properties work for you ?
Use CSS:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.Large
{
font-size: 16pt;
height: 50px;
}
</style>
<body>
<input type="text" class="Large">
</body>
</html>
