I'm not having any joy with this so any help would be much appreciated. The basic problem is when I click on Login it presents me with an input box for username but I can't get the focus on the box to enter anything. If I change the css from position:absolute to relative it works but mucks up the layout. Similarly if I remove the code for the About tab it works. I guess there might be something going on with layering as the dropdown for each tab occupies the same space but it defeats me so far. I'm working in Chrome and IE11. It's a personal project so not bothered about other browser compatibility.
Here is the code:
<body>
<style>
.panel div {
opacity:0;
width: 100%;
position:absolute;
top: 34px;
}
.panel .tab-link {
float: left;
width: 20%;
padding: 7px;
background:#ddd;
margin-right: .5%;
text-align: center;
}
.anchor:target + .panel div {opacity: 1;background: #ccc;}
.anchor:target + .panel .tab-link {opacity:1;background: #ccc;}
</style>
<span class="anchor" id="login"></span>
<div class="panel">
<a class="tab-link" href="#login">Login</a>
<div>
<div>
<input name="test" type="text" placeholder="Username or email" value="" autofocus>
</div><br><br><br>
</div>
</div>
<span class="anchor" id="about"></span>
<div class="panel">
<a class="tab-link" href="#about">About</a>
<div><h2>Hello World</h2></div>
</div>
</body>
Alternatively I have a jsfiddle for you.

You need to add z-index:2; to your input in CSS.
As Beardminator stated. A z-index is sufficient. However, I wouldn't use 2. If you skip a number of precedence in a z-index you will leave gaps in your layering. use 1. Just in case you need to layer something else, then you can use 2 and so forth.
.panel .tab-link {
float: left;
width: 20%;
padding: 7px;
background:#ddd;
margin-right: .5%;
text-align: center;
z-index:1;
}
Also, I changed you html a little for a more solid markup. You had an extra div set that wasn't needed

I'm currently working on an old website that was created with some old crappy WYSIWYG editor. I'm new to web-dev and still trying to get my head around positioning elements properly. My current issue is, from what I have read, using absolute positioning is BAD, but how would you change this?
So this is the old code:
<div id="wb_Text1"
style="margin:0;
padding:0;
position:absolute;
left:187px;
top:24px;
width:83px;
height:147px;
text-align:left;
z-index:1;
border:0px #C0C0C0 solid;
overflow-y:hidden;
background-color:transparent;
">
<div style="font-family:'.Helvetica Neue DeskInterface';font-size:15px;color:#000000;">
<div style="text-align:left">
<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:43px;color:#FFFFFF;">
<strong>W</strong>
</span>
</div>
<div style="text-align:left">
<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:43px;color:#FFFFFF;">
<strong>A</strong>
</span>
</div>
<div style="text-align:left">
<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:43px;color:#FFFFFF;">
<strong>C</strong>
</span>
</div>
</div>
And what I have come up with to replace it is:
HTML
<div class="logo-ul">
<ul>
<li>W</li>
<li>A</li>
<li>C</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
.logo-ul {
list-style-type: none;
color: white;
font-size: 2em;
z-index:24;
float: right;
margin-right: 80%;
}
Which looks fine until you collapse the window and it falls apart :( lol.
You can see what I'm doing here http://media.wacmotorcycles.co.uk/
How should I be writing this please?
Thanks.
Try changing #logo to
#logo {
max-width: 165px;
max-height: 171px;
margin: 0.75em 0;
float: left;
}
And, .logo-ul to
.logo-ul {
list-style-type: none;
color: white;
font-size: 2em;
z-index: 24;
float: left;
}
There is nothing inherently wrong with absolute positioning. If used incorrectly, it can have unexpected results when working with responsive layouts.
In your specific case, the W A C might be better implemented as part of the logo image itself rather than text. It's not offering any semantic or SEO benefit to include the letters in a list. Short of that, this is one way to implement what I think you're after:
.logo {
height: 6rem;
padding-left: 50px;
}
.logo-letter {
display: block;
height: 2rem;
}
<div class="logo">
<span class="logo-letter">W</span>
<span class="logo-letter">A</span>
<span class="logo-letter">C</span>
</div>
I'm currently building a theme / style for a piece of software.
Currently, the code looks like such:
http://jsfiddle.net/afseW/1/
The relevant code is:
body div[type*=privmsg] .sender {
font-weight: 700;
width:134px;
text-shadow: #fff 0px 1px;
background-color: #eee;
min-height:22px;
border-right: 1px solid #dcdcdc;
padding-right:5px;
text-align:right;
display:inline-block;
overflow: auto;
}
Note that in fiddle, for some reason, the text is collapsing onto the second line, whereas in the client, the image looks like this:
Granted, a span is not meant to be a block, hence I've given it the property of: display: inline-block;
But how do I get the height to inherit the parent p block?
I changed DOM structure. See the inline style. In the first div (.message) I prefer a better solution adding a .clearfix class, see this.
<div class="message" type="privmsg" style="overflow: auto;">
<div class="sender-cont" style="width: 30%; float: left;">
<span class="sender" ondblclick="Textual.nicknameDoubleClicked()" oncontextmenu="Textual.openStandardNicknameContextualMenu()" type="myself" nick="shamil" colornumber="20">+shamil</span>
</div>
<div style="width: 70%; float: left;">
Welcome to <span class="channel" ondblclick="Textual.channelNameDoubleClicked()" oncontextmenu="Textual.openChannelNameContextualMenu()">#textual-testing</span>! This channel is for the users of the Textual IRC Client to test scripts and do other activities in an unregulated environment. — <span class="inline_nickname" ondblclick="Textual.inlineNicknameDoubleClicked()" oncontextmenu="Textual.openInlineNicknameContextualMenu()" colornumber="3">milky</span>'s law states: "On IRC, after a user has executed a command that outputs interesting information to a channel (i.e. /sysinfo), then there will be at least two users that do the same."
</div>
</div>
Hope this helps!
Since the spans are a set width, probably the easiest thing to do here is just make the span have a absolute position.
body div[type*=privmsg] .sender,
body div[type*=action] .sender {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
...
}
Then add padding to the parent element:
body span.message {
position: relative;
padding-left: 140px;
...
}

PS: please provide a trimmed down version in jsfiddle next time, the html and css here is pretty epic.
I'm using float: left; and float: right; to put two div-containers in one row, the left one holds an input bar, the right one holds a small background image (search button).
It's showing fine in Opera & Firefox, MSIE 9.0+ but when I view it in chrome the right container's background image is slightly off position (shifted downwards by a few pixels).
I set the background color to red to highlight the issue:
screenshot
index.php outtake:
<div class="header_inner_right">
<form id="search_bar" method="post" action="" onsubmit="return checkSearchQuery();">
<div class="left">
<input id="search_field" name="q" type="text" value="Search riddim, artist, tune, label and producer"
onfocus="searchFieldValue_onFocus();" onblur="searchFieldValue_onBlur();">
</div>
<div class="right">
<input id="search_button" src="images/search_button.gif" type="submit" value="">
</div>
</form>
</div>
index_chrome.css (used if php script detects chrome browser):
#charset "ISO-8859-1";
#search_bar {
width: 450px;
height: 37px;
background-color: red
}
#search_bar #search_field {
border: 0px;
width: 365px;
height: 37px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
background-image: url(../images/search_field.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-weight: bold;
color: #c0c0c0;
background-color: #ffffff
}
#search_bar #search_button {
cursor: pointer;
border: 0px;
outline: none;
height: 37px;
width: 45px;
background-image: url(../images/search_button.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat
}
How to fix it and adjust the y-position of the magnifying-glass background image so its perfectly aligned with the left div's background image and fully concealing the red background of the right div container?
EDIT: http://jsfiddle.net/YcraM/
Sorry, forgot about JSFiddle!
This might not be the answer you want to hear, but it's pretty much impossible to make most input elements look identical cross browsers. I urge you to fashion the submit button from a div element. Example:
<div class="left">
<input id="search_field" name="q" type="text" value="Search riddim, artist, tune, label and producer"
onfocus="searchFieldValue_onFocus();" onblur="searchFieldValue_onBlur();">
</div>
<div class="right">
<div id="search_button"></div>
</div>
Style the div with css to your liking - remember to use the :hover and :active pseudo classes. Then, using for example jQuery, make it functional like this:
$('#search_button').on('click', function(e) {
$(e.currentTarget).closest('form').submit();
});
I've tested it in Chrome 21 and FF 14, it seems setting line-height:0px; fixes the issue.
div.right {
float: right;
line-height:0px;
}
div.left {
float: left;
line-height:0px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/YcraM/3/
I haven't tested in other browsers, so forgive me if this isn't the best solution.
you can add float:right (or left) to #search_bar #search_button, that fix the issue as well
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;
}
Hear is an Example !

The 'required' text is showing up to the left of the input box. Similar problem in Opera except is displays on the next line (creates a line break). Looks as expected in FF3.1 and chrome. Any suggestions? Eventually I would like to use the display:none attribute on the 'required' span and show this span as necessary with javascript.

IE really makes me hate web dev sometimes.
You probably should start by adding the proper DocType tag at the top of your file.
EDIT:
After looking at your code, it appears you are not using your floats properly. First off - // does NOT comment out lines in a CSS file. You need to wrap it in /* and */ to comment it out. So your SPAN.formw style is floating to the right, which is before your SPAN.required, which also floats right. Since you're using SPAN tags, you really don't need to float anything here. If you remove all of those it should just fall into place for you.
Which doctype are you using ? A strict one may prevent that kind of problem... Also, I usually start my CSS design with a reset file to get rid of all those kind of annoyances : http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/
Using double slash "//" is not valid CSS commenting. So this float right rule:
div.row span.formw { // float: right;
Is being applied.
Use:
/* comment */
When commenting CSS.
Put a float:left on the formW class
Float all the boxes in the row to the left, instead of mixing floating and inline elements:
div.row span.label {
float: left;
width: 100px;
text-align: right;
}
div.row span.formw {
float: left;
width: 235px;
padding-left: 45px;
}
.required{
float: left;
color: #ff0000;
// display:none;
}
jriggs, since IE8 is still not completely stable, for some projects you can have IE8 revert to IE7 rendering rules. One of the benefits is that this doesn't give the user the compatibility view button on the right of the location bar.
