Input width differs when there's an icon - html

I'm trying to build a form using twitter bootstrap and having the input fields' width maximized by using the .input-block-level class.
This works well in this example below, taken from the official site.

However, if I take the icon example, also from the official site, and use the .input-block-level class on the input element, it doesn't work.
http://pastebin.com/2KMbyDxT
If I apply the .input-block-level class to both input-prepend and input, it gets wide but a little bit wider than desired.

What am I doing wrong here?

You aren't doing anything wrong. The extra space you have is because of icon. I think You will need to manually make the adjustments.

An interesting question, here are the best two solutions I can think of so far:
http://jsfiddle.net/panchroma/jckTk/
Both have a blank prepend on the password field. One uses the default background and border and on the other you remove the background and right-hand border with some simple CSS.
.passwordAddon{
background-color:inherit !important;
border-right:none !important;
}
.password-With-Prepend{
border-left:none !important;
}
Good luck!

Adjust <nz-date-picker> (Ng-Zorro) width

I'm using Ng-Zorro for template styling and am currently implementing an date picker, which I would like to have sitting flush with the dropdown menu above it.
I'd like to manually adjust the width of the date-picker within the template, but I'm seeing this link saying that the width cannot be adjusted...
Trying out html in-line styling did not do anything, so now I'm curious if anyone has been able to readjust the width of the nz-date-picker with Ng-Zorro.
May be you need to set the <nz-date-picker> display:block first
then set the span class="ant-calendar-picker" width:100%
hope this could help u.
Adding the following should work to your component's styling should work for you. The additional styling mentioned in the other response is not necessary for me.
nz-date-picker {
display: block;
}

css element dissapears behind padding border

I need your help.
The Title in the green Box "News" appears right under this Link.
http://www.mjart.ch/category/news/
But because of this weird Template I'm using, there are sometimes some imperfections. On this Site here
http://www.mjart.ch/portfolio/
the Green title seems to disappear behind the padding border. I really don't know why.
What I found out is that there are 2 different CSS styles. The first one that works is a .blog-title and the second one is a .single-title. But both are same styled. I would be happy about some help.
Hi if you dont want to change the structure of the template you can add this css rules
.page-id-21 .single-page{
margin:0;
}
.page-id-21 .single-page .single-content{
margin-left: 25px;
}
I added a .page-id-21 class, otherwise in the contact page you will add a margin.
This can be a solution, another is to search the correct template page, if it's a premium plugin it will have it, and you dont need to add the css rules.

Change 'src' value by css for input tag with type="image"

Is it possible to change the value of src attribute of <input type='image' alt="Text will be shown if pics are disabled" src='somepic.png'../> by css?
The problem is:
I want to specify which pic will be shown as submit button just using css (so the design team will change only css files!).
If I use the alternative way like <input type="submit" class="cssclass" value=" " alt="Text will be shown if pics are disabled"/> and specify the background of this element in css - it doesn't work well if pics are disabled. - No any alternative text is shown instead of pic. However the first way solves this situation...
Please advice something
Thanks.
Here it is: http://jsfiddle.net/kizu/66JXn/
Some notes about this solution:
Use <button></button>, 'cause it can include other blocks.
You'll need a bit of extra code to make all these work in Fx and IE:
For Fx you need an extra wrapper inside (there are positioning bug) and some extra -moz- properties reset.
For IE you must shrink the original button, 'cause there are some extra padding that is hard to remove.
You place the text and another element inside, that would overlay the text. So when the images would absent, the text would be accessible.
That's it :)
No, and this is bad practice. CSS is for static content only.
What you should do, is define a template file with variables in it such as:
template.js
my_backgroundImage = "url('somepic.png')";
then your file would load
x = document.createElement('image');
x.src = my_backgroundImage
Attribute selectors might work, but they aren't very flexible. Try this one:
img[src=""] {
background-image: url('none.png');
height: 100px; /* Height of BG image */
width: 100px; /* Width of BG image */
}
It doesn't change the image's src= attribute, but it performs the same function.
Here's my idea.
You can use JavaScript to read the stylesheets of <img> tags, and modify them accordingly.
I'm talking about a class whitelist, like big, small, center and all other classes applied to the images are interpreted via JavaScript. The design team could use CSS, but it would not render in the expected manor, like this (Python + JavaScript):
for every <img> tag:
if tag.classes contains class not in whitelist:
for every class not in whitelist:
this.src = newClass.backgroundImage;
this.removeClass(newClass)
It reads the CSS for the background-image property, but it just steals the URL of the image and sets the src= attribute using that URL. Then, the JavaScript would delete that class, causing it not to render.
(This is a problem for which JS is the solution, but ignoring that:)
One option is to wrap the button and an extra div (lets call it div.overlay) in a parent container.
Set the container to to position:relative.
Set the button to only display text, as usual. Set the div.overlay to position:absolute, width and height to 100%, and left and top to 0, and a z-index higher than the button. Set the image you want to display as the background-image of div.overlay.
With images enabled, the user sees the image, and the image can be changed using only CSS.
With images, or CSS disabled, the user only sees the plaintext submit button.
You might have to do some trickery to get clicking div.overlay to submit the form, perhaps just make div.overlay a duplicate submit button. Also, who knows what Googlebot makes of overlay techniques like these.
It's ugly, but the only pure CSS solution that immediately jumps to mind is a kind of image replacement with relatively poor support. That's using :after. It's kind of a poor practice due to the misuse of :after, and the support is pretty iffy, and I think it'd be iffier for an input element, based on the last time I tried to use :after on an input...
.cssclass,
.cssclass:after{
display:block;
width:100px;
height:100px;
}
.cssclass{ position:relative; }
.cssclass:after{
position:absolute;
top:0;left:0;
content:url("button.jpg");
}
See http://www.rachaelmoore.name/best-practices/css-image-replacement-ii/ for more.
Or setting the default src to a shim and always using CSS to set the desired button as a background image. Which I just noticed you've already thought of. I imagine that should work just fine.
Ok... So I hate it when I ask a specific question and, instead of answering it, they give me some crappy work-around instead of answering the original question that I asked... But for some reason, I've decided that I'm going to do it to you.
If I understand the problem correctly, you just want to have a form button with a background image and if the background image doesn't load, you want some sort of alt text displayed to the user with the caption of the button? If that's not right, stop reading and "down arrow" me.
In apps that I've made, I've always just styled the input with a background image, but left it up to the HTML control to insert text... It's good for three reasons... buttons can be styled, developers can change the value of the text on the button without having to bother me to make a new image, and if the background image doesn't load, the button is still readable.
So my html was like this:
<input type="submit" id="btnSearch" class="searchButton" value="Search">
then my class may read something like:
.searchButton {
backgorund-image: url('searchButtonImage.png');
font-family: sans serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #808080;
padding-left: 50px 0px 0px 0px; // Assuming a magnifying glass icon or whatevs is on the left and is 20-ish pixels
width: 100px; // you can put this as in-line style if you make a more generic class
}
If you want to make the BG more generic, move the width of the button to make it in-line on the button, so the devs can change the width with the text value and make your generic bg image like 200px wide.
Depending on the browser, the text might not be as nice and ani-aliased as in others, but IMO, it's a small price to pay.
(Disclaimer: Please forgive me if you copy and paste this and it doen't work. I just hand-wrote it without testing it.)
Can you do it with javascript?
I have an image on my page that, when clicked, will show another button, and also change the src attribute of the first.
Here is what I use:
<script type="text/javascript">
function apps()
{
var element = document.getElementById("app_frame");
if (element.width != "0%")
{
parent.document.getElementById("frame").setAttribute("width","100%");
parent.document.getElementById("app_frame").setAttribute("width","0%");
parent.document.getElementById("appbutton").setAttribute("src","site/main/images/apps/show.gif");
parent.document.getElementById("wthrbutton").style.visibility="hidden";
}
else
{
parent.document.getElementById("frame").setAttribute("width","65%");
parent.document.getElementById("app_frame").setAttribute("width","35%");
parent.document.getElementById("appbutton").setAttribute("src","site/main/images/apps/hide.gif");
parent.document.getElementById("wthrbutton").style.visibility="visible";
}
}
</script>
What that says, is: set the "app_frame" as variable "element",
then check variable "element" for its width.
if its width is not 0, then it gets the element "frame",
by using getElementById, and then sets the attribute "width" to 100%
you can see slightly lower down that you use the same method, but use the SRC attribute rather than width, and set it to whatever you want, in my case, site/main/images/apps/show.gif
hope that helps

How to make pure css floating tooltips (absolutely positioned span) dynamically resize to accommodate text

I recently had an idea for using the CSS pseudo-class :hover to display a styled tooltip when the mouse is hovered over a link.
The basic code for the link looks like this:
.hasTooltip {
position:relative;
}
.hasTooltip span {
display:none;
}
.hasTooltip:hover span {
display:block;
background-color:black;
border-radius:5px;
color:white;
box-shadow:1px 1px 3px gray;
position:absolute;
padding:5px;
top:1.3em;
left:0px;
max-width:200px; /* I don't want the width to be too large... */
}
This link has a tooltip!<span>This is the tooltip text!</span>
The result is exactly what I want, but with one annoying problem: the span does not expand to accommodate text, and if I don't specify a width, the text is squashed.
I did some searching on Google, found a couple examples of work people had done (this example is creepily similar to what I've gotten), but no one seems to have addressed the span width problem I'm having.
I know this answer is extremely late, but it appears the key to your issue would be to use:
white-space: nowrap;
inside of your span, and get rid of any sort of width definition. Of course the drawback to this will be that the tooltip will only be able to support a single line. If you want a multiline solution you will most likely have to use javascript.
Here is an example of of this method:
http://jsbin.com/oxamez/1/edit
An added bonus is that this works all the way down to IE7. If you do not need to support IE7, I would suggest folding the span, and img styles into a :before, and :after for the .tooltip. Then you can populate the text using the data-* attribute.
I don't think there's a perfect solution to this problem with pure CSS. The first problem is that when you place the span inside the a tag the span only wants to expand as far as the width of the link. If you place the span after the the a it's possible to get close to what you're trying to do but you'll have to set the margin-top: 1.3em and then have to set a negative margin to slide the tooltip left. However, it's going to be a fixed setting so it won't sit exactly at the start of each link.
I whipped up a jQuery solution that sets left dynamically (and a nice little fade effect for good measure).
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wdm954/9jaZL/7/
$('.hasTooltip').hover(function() {
var offset = $(this).offset();
$(this).next('span').fadeIn(200).addClass('showTooltip');
$(this).next('span').css('left', offset.left + 'px');
}, function() {
$(this).next('span').fadeOut(200);
});
These tool tips can also be integrated into a word press theme easily. Just copy the CSS into your style. Css file and when creating your posts, just take help of the HTML code and create your own tool tips. Rest is all styling, which can be altered according to your own choice. You may also use images inside the tool tip boxes.
http://www.handycss.com/how/how-to-create-a-pure-css-tooltip/
Even though this question is a bit older already, I would suggest the following compromise:
Just use max-width: 200px; and min-width: 300%; or so,
whereas the min-width could result higher than the max-width.
Just figure it out.
This way you could not have entirely liquid tooltips but the width would stand in kind of a correlation with the width of the containing link element.
In terms of optical pleasantness this approach could be of value.
edit:
Well I must admit it is nonsense what I wrote. When the min-width can be higher than the max-width, there is no sense to it.
So just putting the min-width in percent would achieve what I tried to suggest.
Sorry for that.
I found this and it was working for me. It's a good solution when you have a lot of elements and jquery plugins on the same page and you can't work with
Text <span>Tooltip</span>

Make input invisible through css?

I have a form where depending on the website's brand one of two input fields should be visible at one given spot.
I figured I just put both input fields in the same container and then through my stylesheet set one of them to display:none;
This does hide the field, but it still makes it take up space.
I also tried setting the height and width to 0 or setting visibility to hidden or collapse but none of those worked.
Untill now all the branding things could be done with css style sheets so I would like to keep it that way.
The solution should at least be supported in IE6 & up, Firefox 2 & up and Chrome (latest).
why don't you use input type="hidden" ?
What about setting the invisible input field to position: absolute; which should take it out of the rendering flow.
However, setting it to display: none should in theory do the same...
<style>
.hideme
{
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
}
.showme
{
display:inline;
visibility:visible;
}
</style>
<input type="text" name="mytext" class="hideme">
You can either set class="hideme" to hide your control or class="showme" to show your control. You can set this toggeling using JavaScript or server side coding.
This does hide the field, but it still
makes it take up space.
This shouldn't happen; display: none should cause the element to not be included in the flow. Check the rest of your CSS (try using Firebug to figure out where the extra "space", which is probably just padding or margin of some surrounding element, is coming from).
Using the visibility property takes up rendering space even if the element is not visible. Instead of using visivility you have to use display property.
You can set the display to none if you want to hide the element and display to block or inline if you want to show them.
To have a look on display check this
If setting your display property doesn't solve your problem, then I think the textboxes might be absolutely positioned. It might be the reason for the layout not to be changed.
Can you please post the complete code?
You can do this if you want to isolate the css code from other input:
input[type="checkbox"] {
display: none;
}
You can also further isolate it from the same type by indicating another class.
I'm not too familiar with CSS, but you can try implementing JQuery which combines Javascript and CSS to let you do stuff like that with relative ease.
