Hi I want to change the style of the dropdown, nearer the option tags, in HTML. In Firefox it is working, but not properly in IE and google chrome.
The padding is only working in firefox. The background color is working on all browsers, but in IE you can see it, even on the selected value.
Demo with JSFiddle
Html:
<label for="locale">locale:<em>*</em></label>
<select name="locale" id="locale">
<option selected="selected">en_CA</option>
<option>en_US</option>
<option>fr_FR</option>
<option>fr_CA</option>
<option>ja_JP</option>
</select><br />
CSS:
label{
margin: 5px 0px 10px 0px;
padding: 5px;
height: 22px;
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
}
label em{
color: red;
font-family: Arial;
font-weight: bold;
}
select{
color: #333;
margin: 5px 0px 10px -5px;
padding: 5px;
height: 32px;
width: 262px;
border: #999 1px solid;
}
select option {
padding: 5px 8px;
background: #ddd;
}
Webkit browsers (Safari, Chrome etc) don't allow padding on select elements. You can however mimic padding by manipulating the height for top and bottom padding and text-indent for left-padding.
Update: The same goes for background-color on option elements. Webkit doesn't allow that and I don't believe there's a workaround other than doing your own Javascript implementation of a drop-down using for example an unordered list and some styling.
I don't think you could just style the option tags. I think I read it from somewhere that it is based on OS or something...

Because it is just 1px I can't tell if it is the text box next to the button or the button itself. So I was going to take a screenshot and look at it with a measuring tool. From there I was going to look the firefox debugger and ie debugger to see what is off by 1px.
However I was hoping someone might have an idea to what is causing this.
Here is the offending element in ie ( 28 px )
Here is where it is correctly displayed in FF, Chrome, etc. ( 27 px )
http://www.arcmarks.com
Here is the CSS for the button:
#ue_but_new{
position: absolute;
padding: 8px 6px 7px 6px;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
p.small_white{
font-size: 10px;
color: #ffffff;
}
.blue_but{
color: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid #057ed0;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #31baed, #019ad2);
}
If you base element size on text size, it will always vary between different browsers, different systems, different settings, et.c.
Set a specific line height on the element instead of padding from the text height:
#ue_but_new{
position: absolute;
line-height: 25px;
padding: 0 6px;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
You could try to apply border on the input & button wrapper, then set overflow:hidden.
This way, even if it's off by a pixel, it's not visible.
In HTML:
<div>
<input type="" />
<button></button>
</div>
In CSS (roughly):
div {
border:1px solid #ccc;
border-radius:3px;
background:#fff;
overflow:hidden;
}
input {
border:0;
background:transparent;
}
button {
background:blue;
}
div, input, button { height:22px; }
Prefer setting the line-height property to vertically center a single line of text rather than using padding-bottom and padding-top.
In your case font-size: 10px + padding-top: 8px + padding-bottom: 7px = line-height: 25px.
#ue_but_new {
position: absolute;
padding: 0 6px;
line-height: 25px;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
I was trying to make a simple help button using "A" anchor tag. The thing is it works perfectly on Firefox, Chrome, OP, Safari. Now when I tried it on Internet Explorer 10, The text wasn't properly aligned in the middle. here is what I've done so far:
HTML
<a id="help-btn"><span>?</span></a>
CSS
#help-btn {
display: table;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border: solid 5px #2F2F2F;
width: 10em;
height: 10em;
text-align:center;
background: #c100ff;
text-decoration: none;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#help-btn span {
color: #22002D;
font: 10em "bauhaus 93";
text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #fff;
line-height: 100%;
}
here is a jsfiddle sample. any help would be appreciated...
so I've finally found the solution after 3 hours of digging deep, as stupid as may it sounds but the extra space was being added by the font "bauhaus 93". It renders correctly on all browsers except IE (that's a shocker). So I had to change it to another font and now it works perfectly. so if anyone face the same problem please do check the font that you are using.
play with your line-height.
Try this :
#help-btn span {
color: #22002D;
font: 10em "bauhaus 93";
text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #fff;
line-height: 10em; // CHANGE YOUR LINE-HEIGHT SIZE
}
if the problem not fixed, try add display:block; to your #help-btn span
You need to add the line-height attribute and that attribute must match the height of the div. In your case:
Try
#help-btn span {
color: #22002D;
font: 3em "bauhaus 93";
text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #fff;
height: 3em;
line-height: 3em;
}
I'm trying to make a button that's 11px by 11px, but it seems every browser I try has a minimum width of 12px for buttons (except IE9, which does 16px). Is there a way around this or do I need to use anchor tags?
My CSS
#testButton
{
background-image: url(images/Sprites.png);
width: 11px;
height: 11px;
border: 0 none transparent;
}
The Result in IE
Every browser has some default css. try using css reset
try adding padding and margin to 0 in your button css
#testButton
{
background-image: url(images/Sprites.png);
width: 11px;
height: 11px;
border: 0 none transparent;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
Ok, so interesting question. I've been playing around here. And I'm running Safari on a Mac here.
For me, this works (I think) on a simple <button></button> element:
button {
width: 2px;
height: 2px;
padding: 0px;
box-sizing: border-box;
border: 0;
background: red;
}
I think the important thing to note is the box-sizing parameter. You can get more information about it here. Along with, of course, the padding style.
I am using a custom select/dropdown menu per the solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10190884/1318135
This functions great, except that the options only display if you click on the box. Clicking on the 'arrow' on the right does not bring up the dropdown options. What's a workaround?

HTML:
<label class="custom-select">
<select>
<option>Sushi</option>
<option>Blue cheese with crackers</option>
<option>Steak</option>
<option>Other</option>
</select>
CSS:
label.custom-select {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.custom-select select {
display: inline-block;
padding: 4px 3px 3px 5px;
margin: 0;
font: inherit;
outline:none; /* remove focus ring from Webkit */
line-height: 1.2;
background: #000;
color:white;
border:0;
}
/* Select arrow styling */
.custom-select:after {
content: "▼";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
font-size: 60%;
line-height: 30px;
padding: 0 7px;
background: #000;
color: white;
}
.no-pointer-events .custom-select:after {
content: none;
}
Depending on your client base,
One very simple bit of code:
pointer-events:none;
See the browser support here: http://caniuse.com/pointer-events
Edit: just in bed and possibly thought of another solution but can't test on my phone, but maybe the jQuery mousedown trigger could be an option, to momentarily hide the arrow a split second before the click, maybe?
Or this, not sure how it'd be used, but saw it in another thread:
$('#select-id').show().focus().click();
If I was at my pc I'd test it...
That's nice. Thanks for the info. Like the use of content. Don't have an Android but from what I'm seeing in Mac on FF, Saf, and Chrome it works pretty good. May try adding:
-moz-border-radius: 0px 20px 20px 0px;
-webkit-border-radius: 0px 20px 20px 0px;
border-radius: 0px 20px 20px 0px;`=
to it to .custom-select:after to align the borders.
I have page with dark background. In IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari my checkboxes looks like this:
But Opera displays checkboxes like this:
So user cannot see if he checked the checkbox, because the tick (check-mark) is black as well.
Here is part of my css:
body {
background-attachment: fixed;
background-color: #07080A;
background-image: url('images/bg.jpg');
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: 0 none;
color: #FFFFFF;
display: block;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 13px;
margin: auto auto;
width: 1000px;
}
input, textarea {
width: 300px;
color: #fff;
background-color: #323232;
border: none;
font-size: 13px;
font-family: Arial;
padding: 8px 0px 8px 10px;
}
input[type="checkbox"]{
background: transparent;
width: 30px;
}
How can I change that? I would like to have appearance of checkbox the same in Opera and other browsers.
Try to override your first style using:
input[type="checkbox"] {
background: inherit;
width: 30px;
}
This will give the checkbox the background of its parent. Depending on the order of your rules and other rules, you might need to use inherit !important.
In Opera, the background property applies to the background inside the checkbox not the background outside of the checkbox. I believe what you're trying to fix is some of the issues that you can find on this page about how checkboxes are styled.
input[type="checkbox"]{
backgorund: #fff;
width: 30px;
}
Does that not work for you?
First, you have a typo in your input[type="checkbox"] line.
Second, according to this you could explicitly set the checkbox background to be white. This works in Opera.
