Hide HTML element so it does not take up any space - html

Can someone explain how I can modify the second input id shown below so that it is not visible on the page and also does not take up any space on the page?
<section>
<label for="muni">Municipality</label>
<div>
<input id="county_select" type="text" />
<input id="county_no" type="text" value="" disabled="disabled" style="visibility:hidden" />
</div>
</section>
Currently, this second input id takes up space on my form and I don't want it to take up any space. Thank you.

Use display: none;, as shown:
<input id="county_no" type="text" value="" disabled="disabled" style="display: none;" />
Reference:
The CSS display property.

display:none in stead of visibility:hidden

Use the style="display:none;" instead of visibility:hidden
visibility:hidden leaves space.

You can style the input using CSS, targeting it via its id tag.
In your .css file:
#county_no {
display: none;
}
Styling HTML inline should be avoided.

CSS (disjointed) problem when additional HTML is added to page

I have a basic HTML page with two input fields, one text and one button. When the textfield has the focus I want the button to be hidden. I have it working fine providing I do not add any more HTML code (which I wish to do) between the two input tags.
I know I could do this with jQuery but ideally I would prefer a CSS based solution.
<style>
input[type="text"]:focus + input[name="submitButton"]{
visibility: hidden;
}
</style>
<input type="text" />
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" />
If I add the additional two statements between the two tags it fails to work.
<input type="text" />
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" />
I know I could use jQuery but i would prefer a CSS solution.
Thanks.
man... i solved your problem
HTML
<input type="text" />
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" class="btn" name="submitButton" />
CSS
input[type=text]:focus ~ input[type=submit]
{
visibility:hidden;
}
vote if it helps
Target the submit button with a class... dont give input[name,=""]
.
Instead give classname... i think + selector is the problem.. it is searching for immediate adjacent input tags..and it fails to fetch becoz of br tag inbetween....
So target with classname
You can keep your CSS and add the line break spacing for the text field in CSS. See an example without having to use<br> tags.
input[type="text"]:focus+input[name="submitButton"] {
visibility: hidden;
}
input[type="text"] {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
<input type="text" />
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" />

how to align subscribe button next to email field?

on this page: http://growthbay.ch/
I have a small email field plus subscribe button embedded, but I would like to show the subscribe button right next to the email input field with a bit of a margin to the left of the subscribe button.
I am using this code:
<label><strong>Get the latest jobs in your inbox!</strong></label>
<input style="width:auto !important" type="email" name="EMAIL" placeholder="your#email.com" required />
<input display="inline-block" position="relative" margin-left="5px" vertical-align="top" type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
What am I doing wrong?
thanks folks!
Sandro
Try display: inline-block; instead of display:block from your css
I believe you missed display: inline-block on the email field. Just add it, and it should work!
Also (albeit not related to your problem), you did not apply styles to the "Subscribe" button in the correct way: what you have is
<input display="inline-block" position="relative" margin-left="5px" vertical-align="top" type="submit" value="Subscribe"/>
while it should be:
<input style="display: inline-block; position: relative; margin-left: 5px; vertical-align: top;" type="submit" value="Subscribe"/>
In general, however, I recommend using external CSS and referencing your element with classes.
Let me know if it worked!

Why the input tag is going in next line?I want it in the same line

<p>Name:</p><input type="text" style="display: inline" >
The input tag is going in the next line.I want it to be in the same line.I used the css styling property too but it isn't helping.
Because the p element is a block element. If you want anything to be inline with it, then it too would need to be inline:
<p style="display:inline">Name:</p><input type="text" />
As #David explained the <p> tag is a block element. That means in won't align inline on default.
To solve your problem change your markup to:
<p>Name: <input [...] /></p>
But for what you are trying to do there is the label-tag.
<label for="name">Name: </label><input type="text" name="name" />

html add space before tag

I am trying to add space before an input tag, and I noticed that Chrome didn't render the whitespace. What can I do to add a space. My code is very straightforward:
Q: <input type="text" id="q">
notice the space between Q: and the tag. I will use JS if I absolutely have to, but pure HTML is much better.
You could try .
Q: <input type="text" id="q">
Add margin-left into you #q,
#q{
margin-left:10px;
}
If you would like a regular line whitespacing you can use <br>
but if you mean the literal whitespace before the the input box, you can use a margin tag to give it more space.
E.g.
#q{
margin-left:10px;
}
Here is the two example of having a whitespace before your input tag. It's either using &nbsp or css. Using css is more neat for me in which you can easily change it's styles. Example below css with one character space.
#q1 {
margin-left: .5em;
}
<label for="q">Q:</label> <!-- using a space -->
<input type="text" name="q" id="q">
<br />
<label for="q1">Q:</label><!-- using css -->
<input type="text" name="q1" id="q1">

How to insert line breaks in HTML documents using CSS

I'm writing a web service, and I want to return the data as XHTML. Because it's data, not markup, I want to keep it very clean - no extra <div>s or <span>s. However, as a convenience to developers, I'd also like to make the returned data reasonably readable in a browser. To do so, I'm thinking a good way to go about it would be to use CSS.
The thing I specifically want to do is to insert linebreaks at certain places. I'm aware of display: block, but it doesn't really work in the situation I'm trying to handle now - a form with <input> fields. Something like this:
<form>
Thingy 1: <input class="a" type="text" name="one" />
Thingy 2: <input class="a" type="text" name="two" />
Thingy 3: <input class="b" type="checkbox" name="three" />
Thingy 4: <input class="b" type="checkbox" name="four" />
</form>
I'd like it to render so that each label displays on the same line as the corresponding input field. I've tried this:
input.a:after { content: "\a" }
But that didn't seem to do anything.
It'd be best to wrap all of your elements in label elements, then apply css to the labels. The :before and :after pseudo classes are not completely supported in a consistent way.
Label tags have a lot of advantages including increased accessibility (on multiple levels) and more.
<label>
Thingy one: <input type="text" name="one">;
</label>
then use CSS on your label elements...
label {display:block;clear:both;}
Form controls are treated specially by browsers, so a lot of things don't necessarily work as they should. One of these things is generated content - it doesn't work for form controls. Instead, wrap the labels in <label> and use label:before { content: '\a' ; white-space: pre; }. You can also do it by floating everything and adding clear: left to the <label> elements.
It looks like you've got a bunch of form items you'd like to show in a list, right? Hmm... if only those HTML spec guys had thought to include markup to handle a list of items...
I'd recommend you set it up like this:
<form>
<ul>
<li><label>Thingy 1:</label><input class="a" type="text" name="one" /></li>
<li><label>Thingy 1:</label><input class="a" type="text" name="one" /></li>
</ul>
</form>
Then the CSS gets a lot easier.
the following would give you the newlines. It would also put extra spaces out in front though... you'd have to mess up your source indentation by removing the tabbing.
form { white-space: pre }
<form>
<label>Thingy 1: <input class="a" type="text" name="one" /></label>
<label>Thingy 2: <input class="a" type="text" name="two" /></label>
<label>Thingy 3: <input class="b" type="checkbox" name="three" /></label>
<label>Thingy 4: <input class="b" type="checkbox" name="four" /></label>
</form>
and the following css
form label { display: block; }
<style type="text/css">
label, input { float: left; }
label { clear:left; }
</style>
<form>
<label>thing 1:</label><input />
<label>thing 2:</label><input />
</form>
One option is to specify a XSLT template within your XML that (some) browsers will process allowing you to include presentation with mark-up, CSS, colors etc. that shouldn't affect consumers of the web service.
Once in XHTML you could simply add some padding around the elements with CSS, e.g.
form input.a { margin-bottom: 1em }
The secret is to surround your whole thingie, label and widget, in a span whose class does the block and clear:
CSS
<style type="text/css">
.lb {
display:block;
clear:both;
}
</style>
HTML
<form>
<span class="lb">Thingy 1: <input class="a" type="text" name="one" /></span>
<span class="lb">Thingy 2: <input class="a" type="text" name="two" /></span>
<span class="lb">Thingy 3: <input class="b" type="checkbox" name="three" /></span>
<span class="lb">Thingy 4: <input class="b" type="checkbox" name="four" /></span>
</form>
I agree with John Millikin. You can add in <span> tags or something around each line with a CSS class defined, then make them display:block if necessary. The only other way I can think to do this is to make the <input> an inline-block and make them emit "very large" padding-right, which would make the inline content wrap down.
Even so, your best bet is to logically group the data up in <span> tags (or similar) to indicate that that data belongs together (and then let the CSS do the positioning).
The CSS clear element is probably what you are looking for the get linebreaks.
Something along:
#login form input {
clear: both;
}
will make sure the no other floating elements are left to either side of you input fields.
Reference
The javascript options are all over complicating things. Do as Jon Galloway or daniels0xff suggested.
Use javascript. If you're using the jQuery library, try something like this:
$("input.a").after("<br/>")
Or whatever you need.
