How do I put an icon inside a form's input element?
Live version at: Tidal Force theme
The site you linked uses a combination of CSS tricks to pull this off. First, it uses a background-image for the <input> element. Then, in order to push the cursor over, it uses padding-left.
In other words, they have these two CSS rules:
background: url(images/comment-author.gif) no-repeat scroll 7px 7px;
padding-left:30px;
The CSS solutions posted by others are the best way to accomplish this.
If that should give you any problems (read Internet Explorer 6), you can also use a borderless input inside of a div.
<div style="border: 1px solid #DDD;">
<img src="icon.png"/>
<input style="border: none;"/>
</div>
It is not as "clean", but it should work on older browsers.
A solution without background-images:
.icon {
padding-left: 25px;
background: url("https://static.thenounproject.com/png/101791-200.png") no-repeat left;
background-size: 20px;
}
<input type="text" class="icon" value placeholder="Search">
Or for right to left icon
.icon-rtl {
padding-right: 25px;
background: url("https://static.thenounproject.com/png/101791-200.png") no-repeat right;
background-size: 20px;
}
<input type="text" class="icon-rtl" value placeholder="Search">
You can try this:
input[type='text'] {
background-image: url(images/comment-author.gif);
background-position: 7px 7px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
I find this to be the best and cleanest solution. Using text-indent on the input element:
#icon {
background-image: url(../images/icons/dollar.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 2px 3px;
}
<input id="icon" style="text-indent:17px;" type="text" placeholder="Username" />
A simple and easy way to position an icon inside of an input is to use the position CSS property as shown in the code below.
Note: I have simplified the code for clarity purposes.
Create the container surrounding the input and icon.
Set the container position as relative
Set the icon as position absolute. This will position the icon relative to the surrounding container.
Use either top, left, bottom, right to position the icon in the container.
Set the padding inside the input so the text does not overlap the icon.
#input-container {
position: relative;
}
#input-container > img {
position: absolute;
top: 12px;
left: 15px;
}
#input-container > input {
padding-left: 40px;
}
<div id="input-container">
<img/>
<input/>
</div>
This works for me:
input.valid {
border-color: #28a745;
padding-right: 30px;
background-image: url('https://www.stephenwadechryslerdodgejeep.com/wp-content/plugins/pm-motors-plugin/modules/vehicle_save/images/check.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
background-position: right center;
}
<form>
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input class="valid" type="text" name="name" />
</form>
Use:
.icon{
background: url(1.jpg) no-repeat;
padding-left: 25px;
}
Add the above tags into your CSS file and use the specified class.
Use this CSS class for your input at the start, and then customize accordingly:
.inp-icon {
background: url(https://i.imgur.com/kSROoEB.png)no-repeat 100%;
background-size: 16px;
}
<input class="inp-icon" type="text">
You can try this: Bootstrap-4 Beta
https://www.codeply.com/go/W25zyByhec
<div class="container">
<form>
<div class="row">
<div class="input-group mb-3 col-sm-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control border-right-0" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="basic-addon1">
<div class="input-group-prepend bg-white">
<span class="input-group-text border-left-0 rounded-right bg-white" id="basic-addon1"><i class="fas fa-search"></i></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
I achieved this with the code below.
First, you flex the container which makes the input and the icon be on the same line. Aligning items makes them be on the same level.
Then, make the input take up 100% of the width regardless. Give the icon absolute positioning which allows it to overlap with the input.
Then add right padding to the input so the text typed in doesn't get to the icon. And finally use the right CSS property to give the icon some space from the edge of the input.
Note: The Icon tag could be a real icon if you are working with ReactJs or a placeholder for any other way you work with icons in your project.
.inputContainer {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
position: relative;
}
.input {
width: 100%;
padding-right: 40px;
}
.inputIcon {
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
}
<div class="inputContainer">
<input class="input" />
<Icon class="inputIcon" />
</div>
Just use the background property in your CSS.
<input id="foo" type="text" />
#foo
{
background: url(/img/foo.png);
}
I had situation like this. It didn't work because of background: #ebebeb;. I wanted to put background on the input field and that property was constantly showing up on the top of the background image, and i couldn't see the image! So, I moved the background property to be above the background-image property and it worked.
input[type='text'] {
border: 0;
background-image: url('../img/search.png');
background-position: 9px 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px;
background: #ebebeb;
}
Solution for my case was:
input[type='text'] {
border: 0;
background: #ebebeb;
background-image: url('../img/search.png');
background-position: 9px 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px;
}
Just to mention, border, padding and text-align properties are not important for the solution. I just replicated my original code.
Using with font-icon
<input name="foo" type="text" placeholder="">
OR
<input id="foo" type="text" />
#foo::before
{
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
color:red;
position: relative;
left: -5px;
content: "\f007";
}
I was able to add an icon to an input field by adding the icon as a background image through CSS. From there, you can adjust the size of the image using the background-size property and finally, position the element with the background-position-x and background-position-y properties. I've shared a code snippet below and linked to a working example in Codepen here:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
.input-container {
padding: 50px;
}
input {
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 250px;
padding-left: 36px;
height: 48px;
background-image: url('https://image.shutterstock.com/image-vector/apple-icon-vector-fruit-symbol-260nw-1466147615.jpg');
background-size: 20px;
background-position-x: 10px;
background-position-y: 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border-radius: 15px;
}

</label>
For example you can use this : label with hidden input (icon is present).
I didn't want to change the background of my input text neither. It will work with my SVG icon.
I added a negative margin to the icon, so it appeared inside the input box.
And adding the same value padding to the input, so the text wouldn't go under the icon.
<div class="search-input-container">
<input
type="text"
class="search-input"
style="padding-right : 30px;"
/>
<img
src="#/assets/search-icon.svg"
style="margin-left: -30px;"
/>
</div>
The inline-style is for readability. Consider using classes.
You could go for a different approach which also allows you to click it and have it do a function. Have a look at the example below:
<div id="search-bar">
<input placeholder="Search or Type a URL">
<button><i class="fas fa-search"></i></button>
</div>
#search-bar {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
height: 60px;
}
#search-bar > input {
width: 750px;
font-size: 30px;
padding: 20px;
border-radius: 50px 0px 0 50px;
border: none;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
border-left: 1px solid #000;
background: #FFF; /* CSS Edit Here */
}
#search-bar > button {
background: #FFF;
border: none;
font-size: 30px;
border-right: 1px solid #000;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
border-radius: 0 50px 50px 0 ;
padding-right: 20px;
}
The CSS background solutions do it for most cases, but it has a problem with WebKit (chrome) autocomplete where the icon disappear.
There are other solutions that includes changing the HTML/DOM structure by wrapping the input in a div and adding an extra element (img, div, or similar).
I don't like does solutions because you need to tweak the elements CSS with absolute positions and/or resizing by pixel to get the right place.
Or recreate the input border to "merge" input and img in one.
So this solution is based on a CSS background image not applied over the input element, but applied over a wrapper div.
HTML:
<div class="input-email">
<input type="text" placeholder="Email" name="email" id="email">
</div>
CSS:
.input-email {
background: url(/assets/images/email.svg) no-repeat scroll 14px 11px;
display: inline-block;
}
.input-email input{
padding-left: 40px;
background-color: transparent !important;
}
input:-webkit-autofill, input:-webkit-autofill:hover,
input:-webkit-autofill:focus, input:-webkit-autofill:active {
transition: background-color 5000s ease-in-out 0s;
}
This way with .input-email class I define my icon image as div background (not affected by WebKit autocomplete background).
Next .input-email input definition I pad left the input element to give space for the image and set it as transparent (this works when autocomplete is not applied)
Finally with webkit-autofill classes I remove with transition the background-color set by the autocomplete.
Note: at point 2 I set transparent !important because this -internal-autofill-selected gets rendered at browser and I couldn't overwrite it without setting my also as !important:
input:-internal-autofill-selected {
background-color: -internal-light-dark(rgb(232, 240, 254), rgba(70, 90, 126, 0.4)) !important;
}
I got my solution from this post https://www.py4u.net/discuss/1069380.
I have make some tweaks, though major credits are to them.
In case, if you have <i class=''></i> with imported fonts, background: ... (some png) implementation will not be suited for you.
So try this one:
<div class="parent">
<form action='' method='post'>
<i class="fa-solid fa-paperclip"></i>
<input type="text" name="message" placeholder="Type...">
</form>
</div>
.parent > form > i {
position: absolute;
}
.parent > form > input {
text-indent: 40px
}
then, use margin to set Icon inside and text-indent to move placeholder's text.
...
...
Here is full example of my code
.parent {
width: 100%;
height: 70px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
}
.parent > form > i {
margin-left: 24px;
margin-top: 13px;
position: absolute;
}
.parent > form > input {
width: 70%;
height: 40px;
margin-left: 8px;
text-indent: 40px;
}
.input_container {
display: flex;
border-bottom: solid 1px grey;
transition: border-color 0.1s ease-in;
background: white;
}
.input {
color: blue;
display: block;
width: calc(100% - 20px);
border: none;
outline: none;
padding: 8px 16px;
}
.input_img {
flex-basis: 20px;
display: inline-block;
padding: 8px 16px;
cursor: pointer;
}
<div class="input_container">
<input type="text" class="input" value>
<span class="input_img" data-role="toggle">

This works for me for more or less standard forms:
<button type="submit" value="Submit" name="ButtonType" id="whateveristheId" class="button-class">Submit<img src="/img/selectedImage.png" alt=""></button>
I would like to incorporate a form focus feature where it changes the
color of each icon when you focus on that specific field
<div id="rightside">
<div th:replace="fragments/loginform">
<form method="post" id="login" th:object="${credential}">
<p id="errors" class="warning" role="alert">
<span th:each="err : ${#fields.errors('*')}" th:utext="${err}"/>
</p>
<p id="block">
<label for="username" class="has-feedback"><i class="fa fa-user" aria-hidden="true"></i></label>
<span th:if="${openIdLocalId}">
<strong>
<span th:utext="${openIdLocalId}"/>
</strong>
<input type="hidden"
id="username"
name="username"
th:value="${openIdLocalId}"/>
</span>
<span th:unless="${openIdLocalId}">
<input class="required textinput has-feedback"
placeholder="UH Username"
id="username"
size="14"
tabindex="1"
type="text"
th:field="*{username}"
th:accesskey="#{screen.welcome.label.netid.accesskey}"
autocomplete="off"
autocapitalize="off"
autocorrect="off"
required="required"
autofocus="autofocus"
/>
</span>
</p>
<p id="block">
<label for="password" class="fontawesome-lock"><i class="fa fa-lock" aria-hidden="true"></i></label>
<input class="required textinput"
placeholder="Password"
type="password"
id="password"
name="password"
size="14"
tabindex="2"
th:accesskey="#{screen.welcome.label.password.accesskey}"
th:field="*{password}"
autocomplete="off"
required="required"
/>
</p>

}
#rightside form input[type="submit"]:hover {

When the user focuses on either text field, the font-awesome icon pertaining to that input field should change color. Any help would be great! Thanks! CSS only would be preferable, but a js would work too
I went ahead and made a codepen for you to show you the value of the following blog post:
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/highlight-related-label-when-input-in-focus/
Here's what it offers:
$("form :input").focus(function() {
$("label[for='" + this.id + "']").addClass("labelfocus");
}).blur(function() {
$("label").removeClass("labelfocus");
});
The above utilizes jQuery and it works well as a conceptual example.
http://codepen.io/MassDebates/pen/ZBaVJL
If you wanted to do something that leverages CSS's :focus then I would suggest you change your markup to allow something like a sibling (~), adjacent/following sibling (+) or even a descendant selector if you wrap your input in the label.
The key here is to associate your label's icon (<i>) with your input element.
You can play with :focus and :blur pseudo-classes
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".username").focus(function(){
$(".fa-user").css("color","red");
console.log("in");
}).blur(function() {
$(".fa-user").css("color","yellow");
console.log('out');
});
$(".password").focus(function(){
$(".fa-lock").css("color","red");
console.log("in");
}).blur(function() {
$(".fa-lock").css("color","yellow");
console.log('out');
});
});

I have created a pen that sets a highlighted class on the parent p, and colors the icon using this CSS:
p.highlighted .fa {color: red;}
And this JS:
$(function() {
$('input').focusin(function() {
$(this).parent().parent().addClass('highlighted');
});
$('input').focusout(function() {
$(this).parent().parent().removeClass('highlighted');
});
});

Here is a pure css solution you can use. As we know we dont have any way to select parent element along with css but we can get the next sibling element with the '+' selector. So what i have done is placed the label containing the icon right after the input that will change it's color when focused using the css :focus pseudo element along with the '+' selector of css to get the icon in the label next to the input focused.
In order to set the positions correctly after moving the labels in front of the inputs. I changed the input and label css class from float:left to float:right. This aligned them where label came before input and the width percentage i changed from 77% to 75% just to keep the responsiveness correct on smaller screens. Below is the sample code.
Sample Code: http://codepen.io/Nasir_T/pen/VmrgWw
Hope this helps you and any future coders who do not want work with a JS code solution.
I was able to find an example on stackoverflow to do what I wanted. However, when I implement it in my code and select the option that the will display a hidden div, the hidden div would not appear and not sure why.
HTML:
<td class="mm1" width="40%">
<br />
<ul>
<li>
<label for="name">Please select a company below:</label>
<select class="selectmenu" id="select">
<option selected disabled class="hideoption">Please select one company</option>
<option value="0">RMG</option>
<option value="1">LMG</option>
<option value="2">CSC</option>
<option value="3">ADOC</option>
</select>
<div id="hidden_div" style="color:#B9B9B9; display:none">
If ADOC-does<br />position support UCMG?<br />
<input type="checkbox" /> YES <input type="checkbox" /> NO
</div>
</li>
</ul></td>
CSS:
/*Simple Dropdown box*/
.selectmenu{
font-family: arial, sans-serif, tahoma;
-webkit-appearance: none; /*Removes default chrome and safari style*/
-moz-appearance: none; /* Removes Default Firefox style*/
background: white;
width: 80px; /*Width of select dropdown to give space for arrow image*/
text-indent: 0.01px; /* Removes default arrow from firefox*/
text-overflow: ""; /*Removes default arrow from firefox*/ /*My custom style for fonts*/
color: black;
border-radius: 2px;
padding: 5px;
border:0 !important;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 1px rgba(000,000,000, 0.5);
font-size: 1.2em;
}
Javascript:
$(function() {
$('#select').change(function(){
if ($(this).val() == "3") {
$('#hidden_div').show();
} else {
$('#hidden_div').hide();
}
});
});
I tried your code. It is working. Maybe try some alternatives. Use .css() function of jQuery to change the display from none to block and vice versa.
$(function() {
$('#select').change(function(){
if ($(this).val() == "3") {
$('#hidden_div').css('display','block');
} else {
$('#hidden_div').css('display','none');
}
});
});
Here's a screenshot to prove that it works:
Hope this helps. Goodluck!
I am trying to do something like this:
A colorpicker where you can pick some Colors, but only from this 40 colors.
I don't want to use an eventlistener for each color. I think it should be possible to do it like a <select> element, but how?
I suggest that you can use some color picker libraries like Spectrum
https://bgrins.github.io/spectrum/
This one includes color picker with variety of views and other functions and is free .
This could save a lot of time and work
I think it will be alot of tinkering to do your specific solution.
To do your solution I would do a html table containing the 40 cell, then define a color for each cell, write the code to define which one the user has selected, to later on use for what ever purpose you need.
if it was me i would use something like this:
code from: http://widget.colorcodehex.com/color-picker.html
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; border: solid 1px #cccccc; position: absolute; width: 240px; height: 326px; background: #ffffff; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,.25); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,.25); box-shadow: 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,.25); -moz-border-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px;">
<div style="background-color: #2d6ab4; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 22px; text-align: center; padding-top: 2px; font-weight: bold; border-top-right-radius: 5px; border-top-left-radius: 5px;"><a style="text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff;" target="_blank" href="http://www.colorcodehex.com/">HTML Color Picker</a></div>
with this your can get the same result (or in my oppion a better since the user can define whatever color they would like) but your don't have to sit and do all the table-color-code and user interaction code.
/S
If you truly want it as a Select, you could just do this:
<select>
<option style="background-color:red" value="red">Red</option>
<option style="background-color:green" value="green">Green</option>
<option style="background-color:#0000ff" value="#0000ff">Blue (as hex)</option>
</select>
That requires no Javascript at all.
I am using IE 10 browser. I have created one drop down menu with some values added to it. Code working fine in Chrome as my requirement but in IE10 drop down values are showing up. How to customize that to look like chrome. and selector(round marked in image) also not looking like the one looks in Chrome.
the above image shows the values in dropdown are showing up in IE10.Ignore any values mismatch inside both dropdowns(they are hardcoded).
Here is my code and both CSS and Jsp are in same file
