How can I have 2 different font sizes and a line-break on a textarea placeholder?

So I was asked to do what you see in the screenshot. It is new to me. It is a placeholder with a line-break and 2 different font sizes.
<div class="form-group pop-label">
<textarea id="inquiry-store-location" class="form-control" name="store_location" placeholder="Store or Location" required></textarea>
<label for="inquiry-store-location">Store or Location</label>
</div>
That's how my code/HTML looks so far.
Any ideas?
This is a screenshot of the design:

It is not possible to alter the textarea to have two different text sizes. Closest you can get with placeholder is just two lines of text.
T get what you want, the basic idea is to move the label up and add padding to the textarea to move the placeholder down.
It is unclear what you want to happen when the user enters text into the textarea.
textarea {
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-left: 30px;
}
.pop-label {
position: relative;
}
.pop-label label {
position: absolute;
top: 1em;
left: .5em;
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #888;
}
<div class="form-group pop-label">
<textarea id="inquiry-store-location" class="form-control" name="store_location" placeholder="I like to eat cheese on crackers." required></textarea>
<label for="inquiry-store-location">Store or Location</label>
</div>
If you want the text to disappear when they add text
.pop-label {
position: relative;
}
.pop-label textarea {
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
transition: all .5s ease;
}
.pop-label textarea:invalid {
height: 100px;
width: 270px;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-left: 30px;
}
.pop-label textarea + label {
display: none;
}
.pop-label textarea:invalid + label {
position: absolute;
display: block;
top: 1em;
left: .5em;
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #888;
}
<div class="form-group pop-label">
<textarea id="inquiry-store-location" class="form-control" name="store_location" placeholder="I like to eat cheese on crackers." required></textarea>
<label for="inquiry-store-location">Store or Location</label>
</div>
Now you could use a trick like this, but you will not get full control over the text and size.
textarea {
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
}
<div class="form-group pop-label">
<textarea id="inquiry-store-location" class="form-control" name="store_location" placeholder="𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
I like to eat cheese on crackers." required></textarea>
</div>

Here's what you need. I made it using javascript. But this is not a complete answer. I am currently trying to figure out how to change the font of an ordinary string variable.
let ph_1 = 'Placeholder_1';
let ph_2 = ' \n\nPlaceholder_2';
let ph_full = ph_1 + ph_2;
textarea_input = document.querySelector('#inquiry-store-location');
textarea_input.setAttribute('placeholder', ph_full);
#inquiry-store-location {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="form-group pop-label">
<textarea id="inquiry-store-location" class="form-control" name="store_location" placeholder="" required></textarea>
</div>

Using CSS animation (transition) with onClick event

I'm trying to make a simple button btnAdd that changes one of my new div class so that it makes it visible and at a later date i'll add a cancel button that makes the same div hidden again, however I wanted to do this using animation so I'm trying to use transition: height 1s. But for some reason I can't seem to be able to get it working. Does anyone know where I'm going wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Matt.

You've done the right thing. The only problem is your button is placed within a form element. Once you click on that button, the form is being submitted.
To fix it, you can replace button by another tag. Or avoid submitting while click event happens.

You have to use classList.add to add a class in vanilla JS.
function open_Add_Menu() {
document.getElementById("new").classList.add('open');
}
p {
margin: 0;
}
body {
margin: 0;
background-color: #f6f4fb;
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #666;
}
.btnAdd {
width: 160px;
height: 30px;
float: right;
margin: 0px 30px 0px 0px;
background-color: #2f8fcb;
border: 2px solid #2f8fcb;
border-radius: 3px;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
}
#new {
width: 50%;
height: 0;
margin: 30px 45% 10px 5%;
transition: height 1s;
overflow: hidden;
}
#new.open {
height: 400px;
}
<div>
<div id="btnAdd">
<button class="btnAdd" onclick="open_Add_Menu()">Add New</button>
</div>
<div id="new">
<div id="new_name">
<p>Name:</p>
<input type="text" id="name_tb" autocomplete="off">
</div>
<div id="new_add1">
<p>Address Line 1:</p>
<input type="text" id="add1_tb" autocomplete="off">
</div>
<div id="new_add2">
<p>Address Line 2:</p>
<input type="text" id="add2_tb" autocomplete="off">
</div>
<div id="new_add3">
<p>Address Line 3:</p>
<input type="text" id="add3_tb" autocomplete="off">
</div>
<div id="new_post">
<p>Postcode:</p>
<input type="text" id="post_tb" autocomplete="off">
</div>
<div id="new_number">
<p>Contact Number:</p>
<input type="text" id="number_tb" autocomplete="off">
</div>
</div>
</div>

Add the attribute type='button' to your button element. It should works for you.
<button type="button" class="btnAdd" onclick="open_Add_Menu()">Add New</button>

you can use the atribute visibility:
document.getElementById("myP").style.visibility = "hidden";
You can start the div with visibility hidden and remove that for showing the element.
Its works fine :)

I need to change the color of the icon on text input focus

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"

/>
</p>

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');
});
});
https://jsfiddle.net/czs3sy0a/2/

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');
});
});
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/pNdqYP

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.

How do I get a custom radio button to check?

I am creating a custom form but have hit a snag: The Radio buttons; when you click on them in the unchecked status the do not check. They will check if click the associated Div and the will also uncheck when checked. I have tried to extend the JS to the Label and It still does not work. And so...
How do I get a custom radio button to check and/or what do i need to do to get this to function?
Here is the relevant Code:
function check(checkbox) {
if (document.getElementById(checkbox).checked == false) {
document.getElementById(checkbox).checked = true;
} else {
document.getElementById(checkbox).checked = false;
}
}
.title {
display: inline;
position: relative;
top: 2px;
font-family: "Arial";
color: #fff;
font-size: 18px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
border-collapse: collapse;
font-stretch: ultra-condensed;
}
input[type="radio"] {
display: none;
}
[type="radio"] + label {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
}
[type="radio"] + label {
background-color: #A3D5FF;
border: 1px solid #A3D5FF;
padding: 9px;
border-radius: 20px;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
margin-right: 30px;
}
[type="radio"]:checked + label {
background-color: #0088A8;
;
border: 3px solid #fff;
height: 5.75px;
width: 5.75px;
color: #243441;
}
input[type="radio"] + label {
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 1em;
float: right;
position: relative;
right: -27px;
}
.chk {
background: #009FC2;
width: 265px;
height: 30px;
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.chk:hover {
background: #0088A8;
}
HTML
<div class="chk" onClick="check('f-unlimited')">
<h3 class="title">
Unlimited
</h3>
<input id="f-unlimited" name="format" type="radio" value="f-unlimited" checked="checked"></input>
<label for="f-unlimited"></label>
</div>
<div class="chk" onClick="check('f-expandedFormat')">
<h3 class="title">
Expanded Format
</h3>
<input id="f-expandedFormat" name="format" type="radio" value="f-expandedFormat"></input>
<label for="f-expandedFormat"></label>
</div>
<div class="chk" onClick="check('f-standardLegal')">
<h3 class="title">
Standard Legal
</h3>
<input id="f-standardLegal" name="format" type="radio" value="f-standardLegal"></input>
<label for="f-standardLegal"></label>
</div>
</div>
Additional note: I am running almost identical code for my checkboxes and they are working perfectly.

The problem is in your check function. When you click on the div it fires to reverse the check state. When you click the check itself, the check state is reversed, then the check function runs and reverses the state again. You need to cancel event propagation when the check itself is clicked.

noted, previous answer was in jquery, please see below for vanilla
javascript :
function checkboxClicked() {
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
}
function check(checkbox) {
if (document.getElementById(checkbox).checked == false) {
document.getElementById(checkbox).checked = true;
} else {
document.getElementById(checkbox).checked = false;
}
}
html :
<div class="chk" onClick="check('f-unlimited')">
<h3 class="title">
Unlimited
</h3>
<input onclick="checkboxClicked()" id="f-unlimited" name="format" type="radio" value="f-unlimited" checked="checked"></input>
<label for="f-unlimited"></label>
</div>
<div class="chk" onClick="check('f-expandedFormat')">
<h3 class="title">
Expanded Format
</h3>
<input onclick="checkboxClicked()" id="f-expandedFormat" name="format" type="radio" value="f-expandedFormat"></input>
<label for="f-expandedFormat"></label>
</div>
<div class="chk" onClick="check('f-standardLegal')">
<h3 class="title">
Standard Legal
</h3>
<input onclick="checkboxClicked()" id="f-standardLegal" name="format" type="radio" value="f-standardLegal"></input>
<label for="f-standardLegal"></label>
</div>

2 Divs next to each other with little spacing in between

I am trying to create 2 divs that are next to each other but have a little space in between them. This is the following code that i have and the spacing is to far apart. I can't figure out how to set the spacing:
<style type="text/css">
.formLayout
{
background-color: #f3f3f3;
border: solid 1px #a1a1a1;
padding: 10px;
width: 300px;
border-radius: 1em;
}
.formLayout label, .formLayout input
{
display: block;
width: 120px;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.formLayout label
{
text-align: right;
padding-right: 20px;
}
br
{
clear: left;
}
.box_header {
font-weight: 600;
color: #000000;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 1em;
}
</style>
<div class="formLayout" style="float:left;">
<div class="box_header">
Account Manager Information
</div>
<label>First Name</label>
<input id="fname" name="fname"><br>
<label>Last Name</label>
<input id="lname" name="lname"><br>
<label>Address</label>
<input id="address1"><br>
<label></label>
<input id="address2"><br>
<label>City</label>
<input id="address2"><br>
<label>State</label>
<input id="zip"><br>
<label>Zip</label>
<input id="zip"><br>
</div>
</div>
<div class="formLayout" style="float:right;">
<div class="box_header">
Client Information
</div>
<label>First Name</label>
<input id="fname" name="fname"><br>
<label>Last Name</label>
<input id="lname" name="lname"><br>
<label>Address</label>
<input id="address1"><br>
<label></label>
<input id="address2"><br>
<label>City</label>
<input id="address2"><br>
<label>State</label>
<input id="zip"><br>
<label>Zip</label>
<input id="zip"><br>
</div>

On your second formLayout, you can do:
style='float:left; margin-left: 20px' instead of floating right: http://jsfiddle.net/33Tma/
Obviously you can change the margin to whatever you need.
Also, you should try to avoid inline styling as much as possible.
