My fiddle pretty much shows the problem. Trying to get the labels to be on the left side of each text box if anyone could help. http://jsfiddle.net/HC64Y/
<div id="boxalign2" class="boxalign2" >
<label>Hospital*:</label><input class="rounded2" required title="Hospital is required!" name="MainHospital" type="text" />
<label>Title*:</label><input class="rounded2" name="MainTitle" type="text"/>
<label>Department*:</label> <input class="rounded2" name="MainDept" type="text"/>
</div>
css
input.rounded2 {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
-moz-box-shadow: 2px 2px 3px #666;
-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 3px #666;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 3px #666;
font-size: 20px;
padding: 4px 7px;
outline: 0;
-webkit-appearance: none;
float: left;
display: inline-block;
clear: left;
width: 150px;
text-align: right;
}
You are making your inputs inline-block, but you are also floating them to the left.
If you remove the float: left and add <br> after each input, you will get the correct behavior.
http://jsfiddle.net/A8es3/
To align the boxes, add a div wrapper around each label/input, make your label inline-block with a fixed width. There are other ways to do this as well, but this is one way.
http://jsfiddle.net/A8es3/1/
As stolli mentioned, you can also simply use the label element as the wrapper:
http://jsfiddle.net/A8es3/2/
You can give to your div .boxalign2 and label fixed widths.
View the demo http://jsfiddle.net/HC64Y/11/
.boxalign2 {
width:400px;
}
label {
text-align:right;
padding-right:20px;
display:inline-block;
min-width:150px;
}
To ammend Jeff B's answer to get your result, simply give the elements a width in your css
label {width: 100px} where '100' is whatever value looks best for your layout.
Also, remember that the primary purpose of labels (as opposed to just div's or span's for labeling) is that labels act as a secondary click target for the control they are associated with. Therefore, you can wrap your elements in the label tag (<label><input /></label>) or associate them by id (<label for="foo"><input id="foo"/>) and give the user much more to click, simply by clicking the label, they can toggle the control, focus the text input, whatever. A big boon in usability for touch devices.

i got quite simple thing to do, but i can't find way out for that.
let's say i got form, i want to add inputs one below another, however next to one of them there will be label (only next to one of them).
I would like to make it, so all the classes are equal size (but to make it responsive). However, i would like to make that input with label next to it, to share the space with label, so it will be next to each other, not one under another if user would open that in little screen.
hope you guys got what i mean. :P
Thank you!

Here's the code I've got as for now. The problem I have with it is that, the labeled input is not sticked to the left, and is behaving differently. i bet you can see it yourself better there, than I would explain it.
You need to add display: inline-block and width to the label and input element that you want on the same line.
.mainbox-input label
{
font-weight: bold;
color: #606060;
display:inline-block;
width:35%;
}
.mainbox-input input[name=store-subdomain]
{
max-width: 40%;
display:inline-block;
}
Is this how you wanted it?
jsfiddle
Please remove the css property below:
.mainbox-input{
max-height: 57px;
}
Modify the css below:
.mainbox-input input[name=store-subdomain]{
max-width:100%;
}
.mainbox-input input{
width:auto;
display:table
}
.mainbox-input label{
display: table;
padding: 0px 40px;
}

I have this structure for fill out forms in html
<fieldset class="signup">
<div>
<label>First Name:</label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtFirstName" runat="server"/>
</div>
<div>
<label>Last Name:</label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtLastName" runat="server"/>
</div>
</fieldset>
And I defined this CSS
form fieldset
{
clear: both;
border-width: 0px;
border-style: none none none none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
form fieldset div
{
clear: left;
display: block;
margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px;
padding: 0px;
vertical-align: central;
}
form fieldset div label {
display: block;
float: left;
/*width: 150px;*/
padding: 1px 20px 0px 0px;
text-align: left;
vertical-align: central;
}
The appareance is clean but I commented the width attribute in the last style for labels in order to make it generic in the future. So I added a new style for my specific form and added this class to the fieldset but it's not working. I lost the width of my labels so how can I fix this mistake?
form fieldset div label .signup {
width: 150px;
}
Your selector is incorrect. What you want is likely:
form fieldset.signup div label {
width: 150px;
}
On a side note, I suggest reading up on CSS Selectors to understand the syntax a bit more. See:
Selectors Level 3
MDN (Selectors)
MSDN (Understanding CSS Selectors)
This should work:
fieldset.signup div label {
width: 150px;
}
Have you tried
min-width: 150px !important;
You are using a long chain of descendant CSS selectors and there is no such hierarchy in your Document. Use comma to group selectors. White space means descendant. also, Use > to indicate direct child its more efficient than descendant.
it's possible to make it like this when you onfocus (onclick) on the input text. Any help would be appreciated.
You can make use of outline and :focus, these are compatible with major browsers.
HTML
<input type="text" class="inp" />
<br>
<input type="text" class="inp" />
CSS
.inp{
border:solid 2px gray;
margin: 20px 5px;
outline:solid 10px silver;
}
.inp:focus{
outline:solid 10px red;
}
Preview on JSFiddle
You can do it like this :
input:focus
{
background-color:blue;//*
}
*this is just a example to change the background color.Do any thing that u desire here
Take look at complete example here.
You can wrap the input with an anchor tag, and set it to change background-color onfocus:
<a class='focused'><input /></a>
with CSS:
.focused:hover{
background-color:blue;
}
or, if you want it to change when the input is active, you need to use javascript/jQuery.
I think you would have to wrap each input in a div and give that div a background color when it has focus using JavaScript. Here's a version in jQuery...
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input').on('focus', function() {
$(this).parent().css('background-color', 'blue');
});
});
I think this CSS trick can be used rarely in real cases, but it is funny, that we can make this effect with box-shadows.
http://jsfiddle.net/XSpwg/
HTML:
<div>
<form>
<input></input>
<input></input>
<input></input>
</form>
</div>
CSS:
div {
background-color: lightgrey;
width: 80%;
max-width: 400px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 5px;
}
input {
margin: 2em 0.5em;
display: block;
border: solid 2px lightblue;
outline: none;
height: 16px;
line-height: 16px;
font-size: 12px;
}
input:focus {
box-shadow: 180px 227px 0 200px lightgrey,
180px 195px 0 200px blue;
}
Use pseudo-class selector for various effects.
There are two possible methods using CSS
Method 1 --> if you need both hover and on focus effect then use border styling for the <input> element
here is a typical HTML and CSS for method 1, --> Jsfiddle view
HTML
<form class="form-style">
<input class="input-style" type="text" name="some-name">
<input class="input-style" type="text" name="some-name">
</form>
CSS
.form-style
{
width: 250px;
margin:auto;
background-color: #d6d6d6;
display:block;
}
.input-style
{
width:200px;
margin:auto;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
line-height: 2;
border-width: 20px 25px;
border-collapse: separate;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #d6d6d6;
display: block;
}
input.input-style:focus, input.input-style:hover
{
border-color: #3399FF;
}
Method 2 -> if you need just a hover effect then enclose the <input> element in a <div> and add :hover effect to it, or you can use the method 1 :hover and remove the :focus selector
here is a typical HTML and CSS for method 2, --> Jsfiddle view
HTML
<form class="form-style">
<div class="input-style">
<input type="text" name="some-name">
</div>
<div class="input-style">
<input type="text" name="some-name">
</div>
</form>
CSS
.form-style
{
width:250px;
margin:auto;
display:block;
}
.input-style
{
width: 200px;
background-color: #d6d6d6;
padding:20px 25px 20px 25px;
display: block;
}
.input-style input
{
width:inherit;
line-height: 2;
display: block;
}
.input-style:hover
{
background-color: #3399FF;
}
My advice -> just use on focus effect, because on hover will highlight the <input> on which the mouse is over even if you you are typing (on focus) in another <input>
I have a text box and a button, which is described with the HTML/CSS below.
Currently these two elements are appearing with the button slightly lower than the text box. Can somebody please suggest how I can get these two aligned so their middles are on the same horizontal axis? Thanks
update: apparently the outside world can't see this site. I'll post some HTML describing the controls shortly
update 2: This is the code:
<div id="SearchForm">
<form method="get" action="/search/Tabs">
<div class="search-box ActionControl">
<input type="text" value="" name="Search" id="Search">
Search
</div>
<div id="ContentArea"></div>
</form>
</div>
#SearchForm .search-box
{
padding: 25px;
height: 25px;
background-color: #F6E9D8;
border: 1px solid #E7DFD0;
}
#SearchForm .search-box input
{
width: 425px;
}
#SearchForm .search-box a
{
background:url("../../Content/images/100/button-M.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
border:0 none;
color:White;
cursor:pointer;
font-size:8pt;
padding-left: 22px;
padding-right:22px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
}
This is a quick fix... it was only a pixel out to my eyes...
#SearchForm .search-box a
{
... (Your existing styles)
position: relative;
top: -0.1em;
}
Using vertical-align doesn't work for me, so this just shims it.
#search, .search-box a { vertical-align: middle; display: inline-block; }
I have a text input with a search buton absolute positioned over it... to make space for the button I used some padding to keep the text from going under the button, which is fine, it works in firefox, but not IE.
In fact... It doesn't seem like padding on text inputs works at all in IE.
They have the following code
<style type="text/css">
#mainPageSearch input {
width: 162px;
padding: 2px 20px 2px 2px;
margin: 0;
font-size: 12px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
background:#F3F3F3 url(form-shadow.png) repeat-x scroll left top;
border-color:#C6C6C6 #C6C6C6 #E3E3E3;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
color:#666666;
}
#mainPageSearch {
margin-bottom: 10px;
position: relative; /* Lets me absolute position the button */
}
#mainPageSearchButton {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top:0px;
right: -2px;
text-indent: -2000em;
height: 22px;
width: 22px;
background: transparent url('images/searchBtn.png') top center no-repeat;
}
</style>
<form id="mainPageSearch" action="">
<input type="text"/>
<a id="mainPageSearchButton" href="#">Search</a>
</form>
Is what I'm trying to do possible or should I just suck it up and deal with the text going under the search button?
I know I could make a search box with a transparent background/border and draw the styling using a containing div... but that isn't really an option because of how many places I've have to change it on the site.
Maybe I'll make a new class for this text input that makes it transparent and assign the normal text input style to the containing div? What do you think?
edit: sorry I should have included the doctype... here it is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
also, The problems I'm having are in IE 7
try using line-height
I had this issue also i solved it by adding the following line
input
{
overflow:visible;
padding:5px;
}
hope this helps? Let me know.
Try border-right instead of padding-right. This worked for me.
Make your input transparent and place styles inside a container div:
http://jsfiddle.net/LRWWH/211/
HTML
<div class="input-container">
<input type="text" class="input-transparent" name="fullname">
</div>
CSS
.input-container {
background:red;
overflow:hidden;
height: 26px;
margin-top:3px;
padding:6px 10px 0px;
width: 200px;
}
.input-transparent {
background-color:transparent;
border:none;
overflow:hidden;
color:#FFFFF;
width: 200px;
outline:none;
}
There is a css only fix for it
div.search input[type="text"] {
width: 110px;
margin: 0;
background-position: 0px -7px;
text-indent:0;
padding:0 15px 0 15px;
}
/*ie9*/ div.search input[type="text"] {
border-left: 25px solid transparent;
}
/*ie8*/ div.search input[type="text"] {
border-left: 25px solid transparent;
background-position-x: -16px;
padding-left: 0px;
line-height: 2.5em;
}
Thanks

You'll have to use float: left/right on '#mainPageSearch input' before you can apply padding/margin.
I experienced a similar problem - IE was padding the input field, but not making it bigger, thus pushing the text down inside of it. I fixed it by setting the height of the input as well. Try that.
I have the following working in IE7. What version are you targeting?
<style type="text/css">
input#test {
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<input type="text" id="test" />
What about declaring DOCTYPE?
By adding <!DOCTYPE html> padding works grand for me in IE8. Take the following code as an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#myInput {
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input id="myInput" value="Some text here!" />
</body>
</html>
