How can I change the font size of text inside the textbox in html.
For a <input type='text'> element:
input { font-size: 18px; }
or for a <textarea>:
textarea { font-size: 18px; }
or for a <select>:
select { font-size: 18px; }
you get the drift.
To actually do it in HTML with inline CSS (not with an external CSS style sheet)
<input type="text" style="font-size: 44pt">
A lot of people would consider putting the style right into the html like this to be poor form. However, I frequently make extreeemly simple web pages for my own use that don't even have a <html> or <body> tag, and such is appropriate there.
Here are some ways to edit the text and the size of the box:
rows="insertNumber"
cols="insertNumber"
style="font-size:12pt"
Example:
<textarea rows="5" cols="30" style="font-size: 12pt" id="myText">Enter
Text Here</textarea>

I have an input and when a user enters a value like 5,1 the text and the cursor/caret are uncomfortable close depending on the font:
Example code to play around with below. Experiment with your own fonts to find a similar one as I can't share the one in the image.
<input
type="text"
style="text-align: right; font-family: 'SuperSecret';"
value="5.1"
/>
How can I separate the two a bit? I don't want to alter the data in any way, so JS solutions/hacks like adding a whitespace character to the end of the sentence are not preferred.
Edit: As discussed in the comments of the accepted answer, it's actually not possible to do this with CSS.
Use letter-spacing
input {
letter-spacing: 10px;
}
<input
type="text"
style="text-align: right; font-family: 'SuperSecret';"
value="5.1"
/>
As described in the comments by #zgood, using padding-right will add some space between the last most character and the right side of the input field;
input {
padding-right: 20px;
}
<input
type="text"
style="text-align: right; font-family: 'SuperSecret';"
value="5.1"
/>
this is very basic code as I'm still a beginner, I'm having trouble getting it to load into Chrome via Brackets on OSX.
When I load the file locally it displays everything but the CSS is not loading, everything else is functioning properly.
My troubleshooting so far:
index.html and my tutoringservices.html are in the same directory as style.css.
I've saved and restarted my computer to make sure it wasn't a refresh issue
Cleared Chrome's cache to make sure the CSS was being loaded properly
I've copypasted CSS code from w3schools.com and other basic websites to make sure the basic code would function properly. I removed everything but the .button styling, as that's what I was originally trying to troubleshoot, not so much the font import.
I don't know how open Firefox thru Brackets so I have not loaded Firebug.
I have not yet linked the CSS to my index.html as in theory it should work on tutoringservices.html anyhow. Here's my code:
tutoringservices.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Contact</title>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Amatic+SC&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="./style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection"/>
</head>
<body>
<header>
Home
</header>
<main>

Be happy to answer any additional questions, thanks for your time.
The .name in the css file indicates it is styling a class, but the classes are not used in the HTML file. So .button means it styles the button class instead of the button element.
Two options:
Style the element instead of the class by removing the dot
Add the class to the css file, for example on the button:
<button class="button" type="submit" name="submit">SEND</button>
Use classes in your HTML code. In your CSS you use, for example, .paragraph - so use it in HTML as well: <p class="paragraph">, and the same for button.
Second issue is a little bit more tricky to spot, but easier to fix. You have a wayward CSS declaration outside of any selector in your style.css file, on line 9. Simply remove it:
font-family: 'Amatic SC', cursive;
Do those two fixes and you will be golden.
Ok the problem as I see it (assuming the directory of css file is correct), is that your referring in your css code the classes ".paragraph" and ".button" which do not exist in your html code. When you refer in css to some part of html, you do it as follows:
for id ex:
html
<div id="my_id">
css
#my_id{}
- "." for class
html
`<div class="my_id">`
css
`.my_id{}`
- just the tag name for the tag itself
html
`<div>`
css
`div {}`
you must be careful when referring by tag names.
You man not need the ./ if it is in the same directory in the href="style.css". When it comes to the paragraph and button, your css is referring to them as classes by adding a "." before them. If you just want to call them by html tag
p {
// put style for all paragraph tags here
}
button {
// put styling for all buttons here
}
I have a placeholder in a page but am having trouble replacing the text with CSS. The input color, size, and font-style changes, but not the content? How can I replace the placeholder content?
input::placeholder {
color: black;
font-style: italic;
content:"This isn't changing";
}
<input type="text" class="input-text" name="job_location" id="job_location" placeholder="e.g. "London"" value="" maxlength="">
As far as I can tell from looking at the docs you can not update the content through css for placeholder
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::placeholder
You could consider using js to update the placeholder.
document.getElementsByName('job_location')[0].placeholder='new text';
I've been working on some forms, and I'm not sure how to customize them.
This solution seems to work, but in my case the properties are simply applied to the area around the form rather than the form itself.
CSS:
.Forms{
position:relative;
top:100px;
background-color:#666;
font-family:'Unica One';
font-weight:500;
}
HTML:
<form action="" method="post" class="Forms" id="Form1">
<input type="submit" value="Email Zoltan (Financial Manager, Director)" />
<input type="hidden" name="button_pressed" value="1" />
</form>
The CSS code sets properties on the form element. Apparently you want to apply some of them to the input button instead, so you need to break the rule into two rules:
<!doctype html>
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Unica+One'
rel='stylesheet'>
<style>
.Forms {
position: relative;
top: 100px;
}
.Forms input[type=submit] {
background-color: #666;
font-family: 'Unica One';
}
</style>
<form action="" method="post" class="Forms" id="Form1">
<input type="submit" value="Email Zoltan (Financial Manager, Director)" />
<input type="hidden" name="button_pressed" value="1" />
</form>
I presume Unica One is meant to refer to a Google font with that name. In that case, do not set font-weight, since that font exists as normal (400) typeface only. If you try to set the weight to 500, most browsers ignore it but some may apply algorithmic bolding, which produces questionable results.
Note that setting the background color changes the basic rendering too: the default button, usually with rounded corners in modern browsers, turns to a rectangular box with a bit odd border. You can change this by setting various border properties (including border-radius) on the input element. The point is that buttons have built-in rendering in browsers, but if you set certain crucial CSS properties, this rendering changes to something different, and you should consider setting different other properties as well, when relevant.
P.S. The button becomes almost illegible, due to insufficient color contrast mostly, and Unica One isn’t really suitable for use like this.
try this give css to the form input submit button as said by scott
form.Forms input[type="submit"]{
position:relative;
top:100px;
background-color:#666;
font-family:'Unica One';
font-weight:500;
}
How do you increase the height of an textbox? (along with its font size)
I'm assuming from the way you worded the question that you want to change the size after the page has rendered?
In Javascript, you can manipulate DOM CSS properties, for example:
document.getElementById('textboxid').style.height="200px";
document.getElementById('textboxid').style.fontSize="14pt";
If you simply want to specify the height and font size, use CSS or style attributes, e.g.
//in your CSS file or <style> tag
#textboxid
{
height:200px;
font-size:14pt;
}
<!--in your HTML-->
<input id="textboxid" ...>
Or
<input style="height:200px;font-size:14pt;" .....>
Note that if you want a multi line text box you have to use a <textarea> instead of an <input type="text">.
Increasing the font size on a text box will usually expand its size automatically.
<input type="text" style="font-size:16pt;">
If you want to set a height that is not proportional to the font size, I would recommend using something like the following. This prevents browsers like IE from rendering the text inside at the top rather than vertically centered.
.form-text{
padding:15px 0;
}
<input type="text" style="font-size:xxpt;height:xxpx">
Just replace "xx" with whatever values you wish.
With inline style:
<input type="text" style="font-size: 18pt; height: 40px; width:280px; ">
or with apart CSS:
HTML:
<input type="text" id="txtbox">
CSS:
#txtbox {
font-size: 18pt;
height: 42px;
width : 300px;
}
If you want multiple lines consider this:
<textarea rows="2"></textarea>
Specify rows as needed.
Don't the height and font-size CSS properties work for you ?
Use CSS:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.Large
{
font-size: 16pt;
height: 50px;
}
</style>
<body>
<input type="text" class="Large">
</body>
</html>
