I have an interface of four numeric inputs for pin entry. As an input is populated the next is selected to give focus.
html:
<div class="pinInputs">
<div class="pinInputsWrapper">
<div class="small-2 large-2 columns">
<input name="pinInput1"
id="pinInput1"
tabindex="1"
maxlength="1"
pattern="[0-9]"
autofocus="true"
data-autofocus="true"
type="tel" />
</div>
<div class="small-2 large-2 columns">
<input name="pinInput2"
id="pinInput2"
tabindex="2"
maxlength="1"
pattern="[0-9]"
type="tel" />
</div>
<div class="small-2 large-2 columns">
<input name="pinInput3"
id="pinInput3"
tabindex="3"
maxlength="1"
pattern="[0-9]"
type="tel" />
</div>
<div class="small-2 large-2 columns">
<input name="pinInput4"
id="pinInput4"
tabindex="4"
maxlength="1"
pattern="[0-9]"
type="tel" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.pinInputs {
max-width: 16.4em;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.pinInputsWrapper {
height: 3.2em;
}
.columns {
margin: 0 2.5%;
float:left;
width:20%;
height:100%;
}
input {
font-size: 1.5em;
color: #024734;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 0;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
input:not(:focus){
-webkit-text-security: disc;
-mox-text-security: disc;
-moz-text-security: disc;
-o-text-security: disc;
text-security: disc;
color: #31953e;
}
Javascript:
$("input").bind("input change", function(ev) {
var index = parseInt(ev.srcElement.id.slice(-1));
if (index < 4 && ev.srcElement.value) {
$('#pinInput' + (index+1)).select();
}
});
I've created it in this jsfiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/ek7rhgsj/8/
To Reproduce the issue:
Populate the inputs with single digit numeric characters and then move back deleting the content as you go. When all inputs are empty re-populate. The disc is now pushed to the bottom of the input rather thhan being vertically aligned. This is only reproducable on mobile safari. I can see it on iphones running ios 8.1.1, ios 8.2 and 9. It's possibly there on other versions but these are all the test devices I have available at the moment. Has anyone seen similar before and if so is there a workaround?
Any ideas greatly appreciated

OK I found a solution for this.
Given that I was able to produce this easily in jsfiddle I knew it wasn't anything to do with the js framework I was using (mithril) but rather a browser specific issue. Since safari runs a different engine to chrome I thought that the way the input boxes were being selected to change focus was the probable cause. I didn't dig into this very deeply but using the element.focus() method in place of select solved the issue for me and had no other cross browser issues. If anyone has an explanation that goes a bit deeper I'd love to hear it :)
Thanks,

I am looking for a way to have a list of checkboxes slide out from an input box when I click it. Basically what I'm looking for is a way to create an overlay form that's tethered to the input box. This image shows what I have before click (left) and what I want to happen on click (right).
Right now I have a bootstrap modal pop up on click, but obviously that's not very user friendly. Any working solution will do, from pure css to js packages. My front end currently works with just html, css, js & jquery.
I've tried the following, but that shows my checkboxes through/behind the text that's already there.
.change-search__form-container {
display: none;
position: absolute;
width: 300px;
background: #fff;
border: #000;
border-width: 1px;
}
A pure css solution based on previous answers and Pete's comments.
#myDiv{
display:none;
}
#myDiv:hover, #myDiv:focus-within {
display: block;
}
#myInput:focus + #myDiv {display:block}
<input id="myInput" placeholder="search query">
<div id="myDiv">
<input type="checkbox" id="box1">
<label for="box1">Stuff 1</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="box2">
<label for="box2">Stuff 2</label>
<br>
<input type="checkbox" id="box3">
<label for="box3">Stuff 3</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="box4">
<label for="box4">Stuff 4</label>
</div>
The DIV can be shown by using the below jQuery code
$("#searchbox").focus(function(){
$("#searchresults").show();
});
By using this code the DIV won't go away if the focus from textbox is lost
I solved the problem with the help of the comments. My CSS:
#change-search__form-container {
position: relative;
}
#change-search__dropdown-form {
z-index: 1;
display: none;
position: absolute;
width: 300px;
background: #fff;
border: #000;
border-width: 1px;
}
My jQuery:
$('#change-search__form-container').click(function () {
$('#change-search__dropdown-form').show();
});
This way the container shows on clicking the input box, and doesn't disappear when I click elsewhere (on one of the checkboxes, for example).
there is a great post for a very similar problem:
Css Focus on input div appearing
Runs for Safari and soon in chrome..
#myDiv2{display:none;}
#myInput:focus + div { display: block; }
#myDiv1:focus-within #myDiv2 { display: block; }
<div id="MyDiv1">
<input id="myInput" type="text"/>
<div id="myDiv2">
<label class="container">One
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked">
<span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>
</div>
<div style="display:none">
<span> aaa </span>
</div>
</div>
Good morning everyone,
Sorry not sure how to word the question.
I have came across this problem, I can't seem to make the 'your email' box and 'your password' box align together. When you preview it in full screen, it will be how I want it but when I shrink the screen they start to go weird. Like this:
I want it like this but on a big screen
This is what happens on a big screen
I would like it so they are both under each other and both in the same place. Please could you help me?
Please visit http://jsfiddle.net/xiiJaMiiE/8S5VG/ to see my code so far.
#top_box
{
background: grey;
height: 50px;
left: 80.8%;
width:20%;
position: relative;
top: 0;
z-index: 5;
}
There were some errors in your HTML like unnecessary spacing and invalid tag names. I made it good. Replace your html with the following HTML code:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="top_box">
<div class="homeform">
<input type="email" placeholder="Your E-Mail">
<input type="password" placeholder="Your Password">
<input type="Submit" value="Login">
</div>
</div>
<div class="background"></div>
<div id="menu_box"></div>
<div id="main_box"></div>
<div id="Bottom_box"></div>
</div>
</body>
And also remove height from #top_box.
Working Fiddle
add line break between the two input boxes
<input ... />
<br />
<input .../>
http://jsfiddle.net/8S5VG/1/
or make the inputs to display:block
[you had a slight mistake in the css]
http://jsfiddle.net/8S5VG/2/#update
you calling homeform as an ID is you css but in your html it is a class replace the # with a . before homeform
you also have extra spacings that are moving the boxes, clean your html get rid of all unnecessary spaces
.homeform
{
position:relative;
height:20px;
width:auto;
}
Tyr This
#top_box {
background: grey;
min-height: 50px;
min-width: 164px;
left: 80.8%;
width: 20%;
position: relative;
top: 0;
z-index: 5;
}
Give in enough space for the inputs to be in place.
Hope this helps. if you need further assistance just let me know.
In a modal:
For some reason When I dynamically add a li with two input fields using jquery append the spacing of the first li (which was already there) has a bigger gap in between the two inputs then the rest that are added dynamically.
After checking the developer tools in Chrome, I see that they all have the same padding, margins and borders. From a CSS point of view I can't see a reason why there would be a larger gap in the first one.
<div class="modal-body">
<ul id="add-groups-list">
<li class="add-group-item">
<input type="text" placeholder="Group Name" />
<input type="text" placeholder="Spots Available" />
</li>
</ul>
<p>+</p>
</div>
in a backbone view I do this:
addGroupInModal: function(e){
e.preventDefault();
this.$el.find("#add-groups-list").append('<li class="add-group-item"><input type="text" placeholder="Group Name" /><input type="text" placeholder="Spots Available" /></li>');
},
Here is some CSS:
#add-groups-list{
list-style: none;
}
.add-group-item input{
margin-left: 5px;
}
The reason is the white space, add a text node with 1 space in between the 2 inputs, or do not indent your HTML code.
this.$el.find("#add-groups-list").append('<li class="add-group-item"><input type="text" placeholder="Group Name" /> <input type="text" placeholder="Spots Available" /></li>');
As Antti says, the problem is that the whitespace between the input elements is being rendered. But if you want to keep the HTML a little more readable, you can also solve this with CSS by just floating the inputs:
#add-groups-list {
list-style: none;
}
.add-group-item input {
float: left;
margin-left: 5px;
}
And then add Bootstrap's clearfix class to the li elements for good measure.
Another way to solve it would be setting font-size on the parent elements (the lis) to 0. But I prefer floating the inputs.

I'm trying to make a survey webapp on heroku (javascript mostly) and the off-center text on these radio buttons is rather annoying. What's an easy way to center it and slide it off to the side a little? Formatting is all done with CSS right now. Currently how I'm formatting these radio inputs is as so....
.radio-input{
background: #D4E7ED;
padding:20px 10px;
}
You can use vertical-align: middle on label and radio button with padding-top: 1% on label for aligning text and radio button:
label {
vertical-align: middle;
padding-top: 1%;
}
.rdo{
vertical-align:middle;
}
DEMO
Here's an example I created using a similar approach that Coder outlined. It includes the background coloring you specified and it wraps the radio button and text in divs. It seemed to behave pretty well for me:
the css:
.radio-input {
padding-top:20px;
vertical-align:top;
}
.radio-input-text {
vertical-align:bottom;
}
.background {
background: #D4E7ED;
width:300px;
}
the HTML:
<div class="background">
<div class="radio-input">
<input type="radio" value="Great" id="Great" /><span class="radio-input-text">Great</span>
</div>
<div class="radio-input">
<input type="radio" value="Okay" id="Okay" /><span class="radio-input">Okay</span>
</div>
<div class="radio-input">
<input type="radio" value="Very Bad" id="VeryBad" /><span class="radio-input">Very Bad</span>
</div>
</div>
Demo
For future reference here is the final result with pixel perfect precision:
The CSS code:
._25 {
width: 21%;
display: inline;
float: left;
margin-left: 2%;
margin-right: 2%;
}
._50 {
width: 46%;
display: inline;
float: left;
margin-left: 2%;
margin-right: 2%;
}
._75 {
width: 71%;
display: inline;
float: left;
margin-left: 2%;
margin-right: 2%;
}
._100 {
width: 96%;
display: inline;
float: left;
margin-left: 2%;
margin-right: 2%;
}
label {
width: 100%;
}
input {
border: 1px solid #B3B3B3;
width: 100%;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
}
textarea {
border: 1px solid #B3B3B3;
width: 100%;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
}
select {
border: 1px solid #B3B3B3;
width: 100%;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
}
And some sample HTML code:
<div class="_50">
<p><label for="in_user">Username</label><input id="in_user" type="text" value=""/></p>
</div>
<div class="_50">
<p><label for="in_pass">Password</label><input id="in_pass" type="text" value=""/></p>
</div>
Recently I've started using CSS grid systems and I find the whole process of designing a webpage much more simpler. Now I'm trying to stylize form elements but I'm having a really hard time making forms with columns, take the following example:
div (width = 400px)
form
ul
li .half
label
input (should be 200px wide)
li .half
another label
another input (should also be 200px wide)
Basically I'm applying a class that has a width attribute of 50% but putting both inputs side by side makes the row to be bigger than 100% (400px) - I guess this is because of borders, margins and paddings.
Is there any CSS grid system that I can use to have multi-column forms while still making all the form elements have the same size (inputs, selects and textareas); eg. 1 input in 1 column should have 400px while 2 columns should have 200px each.
EDIT: Wufoo has some examples of what I'm trying to do but I'm too ignorant at CSS to understand all that code and I would appreciate if someone could give me some pointers.
First off, do not use a table. Putting form elements in a table does not solve your problem and complicates your maintenance. Using tables to supplement form presentation is a sign of incompetence and complexity. It is also entirely non-semantic. Instead you might actually have to write some CSS. Honestly, if you are going to use tables for non-tabular data then don't even bother using CSS as that multiplies the complexity of maintenance.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
1) Define all your units in "em" units. Most form elements are intended to contain text. Those elements, like text fields and textarea blocks, can be increased and decreased as a feature of accessibility. This means your pixel perfect pretty CSS grid will break the moment a user changes text size on the page.
2) Don't wrap your form element in a div. Like a div, your form is a block level element. Unless the form has peer nodes under a div parent simply direct any presentation directly to the form element and not a parent element that exists only to contain the form.
3) Group your form elements. If you are floating text fields things can get all messed up if the forms are floated independently of their respective label elements. It will be easier to put an ordered list inside your form and then wrap each form element in a list item. This way you only have to worry about defining layout of the label element relative to its form control and then layout of them together by defining presentation of the list item. This method is also semantic and informs text readers of an order upon your form controls.
4) Don't use the !important declaration. This makes for a quick fix in your CSS but completely screws up inheritance and absolutely complicates maintenance. Instead take the extra time to write your code correctly the first time, so that future maintenance is a quick and minor event.
5) Don't use position absolute, unless you really know what you are doing, even if your form is set to position relative. Position absolute results in unexpected behaviors in many cases and unexpected problems.
6) To ensure your CSS code actually defines a true grid use the Firefox MeasureIt plug in. It will help you achieve stunning accuracy and save you incredible time when making your grid.
7) Do everything correctly the first time using as little code as necessary to get the job complete and present your form perfectly. Only then test your form for cross browser accuracy. Make one correction for cross browser accuracy at a time to limit unnecessary bloating to your CSS code.
Something like this may help. This is how I did it on a form.
It will take some fine tuning though to make it work at your desired width. This might help you get started though.
The CSS:
.contact ul {margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none;}
.contact li {margin-bottom:10px; overflow:hidden;}
.contact label {display:block; margin-bottom:2px;}
.contact label span {color:#999;}
.contact .input {width:592px; border:1px solid #E0E0E0; background:#F6F6F6;}
.contact select.input {border:1px solid #E0E0E0; background:#F6F6F6;}
.contact .third {float:left; width:193px; margin-right:10px;}
.contact .third .input {width:185px;}
.contact .half {float:left; width:294px; margin-right:10px;}
.contact .half .input {width:286px;}
.contact .half select.input {width:294px;}
.contact .omega {margin-right:0;}
The HTML:
<form action="/contact-us" method="post" class="contact">
<ul>
<li>
<div class="half">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="input" />
</div>
</li>
<li>
<label for="address">Address:</label>
<input type="text" id="address" name="address" class="input" />
</li>
<li>
<div class="third">
<label for="city">City:</label>
<input type="text" id="city" name="city" class="input" />
</div>
<div class="third">
<label for="state">State:</label>
<input type="text" id="state" name="state" class="input" />
</div>
<div class="third omega">
<label for="zip">Zip:</label>
<input type="text" id="zip" name="zip" class="input" />
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</form>
Here's a basic kickoff example which may be of use:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style>
fieldset { width: 400px; padding: 1%; }
input[type=text], select, textarea { width: 98%; }
.half { float: left; width: 48%; padding: 1%; }
.full { clear: both; width: 98%; padding: 1%; }
.right { text-align: right; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact form</legend>
<form>
<div class="half">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name">
</div>
<div class="half">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email">
</div>
<div class="half">
<label for="zip">Zip / Postal code</label>
<input type="text" id="zip" name="zip">
</div>
<div class="half">
<label for="country">Country</label>
<select id="country" name="country"><option></option></select>
</div>
<div class="full">
<label for="message">Message</label>
<textarea id="message" name="message"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="half">
<input type="checkbox" id="copy" name="copy">
<label for="copy">Send me a copy</label>
</div>
<div class="half right">
<input type="submit" value="send">
</div>
</form>
</fieldset>
</body>
</html>
Note that I am using left-floated div's of half-width instead of unordered list items.
As you insist in using percentages, don't expect it to be pixelperfect in all browsers. If you want to have it all pixelperfect, you really need to use pixels.
I think this is what you are looking for:
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/prettyaccessibleforms/
It should help simplify your structure a little bit. It doesn't explicitly describe how to make multiple column forms, but the technique could probably expand to that with some creativity on your part.
No need for the fluid 960 system here, unless you want the form to expand and contract with the browser.
I would recommend the regular old 960 grid system for this. 960 width is great for grids because it divides evenly by 12 and 16 which allows you to set up pixel perfect three and four column layouts.
The best way to get familiar with the 960 grid system is to look at the souce css and the source of the html demo
<div class="grid_6">
<p>
contact form
</p>
</div>
<div class="grid_3">
<p>
name
</p>
</div>
I had to do something similar and ended up setting my half-columns to 46%. It leaves an extra bit of room for the padding and gets all your input fields consistently sized.
One answer is Blueprint. I have read where you don't think it's the answer, but it's still the way I would do it. All the ease of tables with all the power of CSS.
With blueprint the math is pretty easy. Let's say your form spans 10 columns.
<div id="contact-form" class="span-10">
<h3>Contact Form</h3>
<form action="contact">
<div id="form-sec-1" class="span-5">
<label>Name</label> <br/>
<input type="text" name="name" /> <br/>
<label>ZIP code</label> <br/>
<input type="text" name="zipcode" />
</div>
<div id="form-sec-2" class="span-5 last">
<label>Email</label> <br/>
<input type="text" name="email" /> <br/>
<label>Country</label> <br/>
<input type="text" name="country" />
</div>
<div id="form-sec-3" class="span-10 last">
<label>Message</label> <br/>
<textarea name="message" />
</div>
<div id="form-sec-4" class="span-8">
<input type="checkbox" name="copy"/>
<label>Send me a copy</label>
</div>
<div id="form-sec-5" class="span-2">
<input type="submit"/>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Oh wow,i was just thinking what in the world is the matter with the css world then i saw this css grid layout editors draft,http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-grid-align/
I still cannot explain why the css world hasn't really been thinking along such lines,what explanation can there be for the lack of such a feature in css.
