I created a search field where the user can type some text. Next to the search field, is an 'X' button which is there to clear of search inputs. The problem I notice is that, on my phone, the 'X' button is just outside of the input search box: Here is the example. How can I get the 'X' to be inside the search box?
HTML:
<input id="myInput" type="text" placeholder="Search Text...">
<button class="clear">X</button>
CSS:
#myInput{
width: 40%;
height: 33px;
border: 1px solid #000;
font-family: 'arial';
font-size: 19px;
}
.clear {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
margin-left: -29px;
background: transparent;
border: 0px none;
font-size: 19px;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align: middle;
}
The easiest way to solve this is to wrap the input and button in an element with position: relative + width: min-content. Then you only need to apply position: absolute + right: value to the button
.wrapper {
position: relative;
width: min-content;
}
.clear {
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<input id="myInput" type="text" placeholder="Search Text...">
<button class="clear">X</button>
</div>
<input type="search" />
Works in Chromium-based browsers at least. It does have some undocumented side effects though, like ESC will clear the input.
If you're intent on using your own custom clear button, adapt this idea by putting both elements into a shared parent element. Have the input take up the entire size of the parent element, and then use position: absolute; on the Clear button.
I am trying to achieve something with HTML and CSS
The initial state of the page should be like the initialState
onClicking the the search box the state of the page should be after Onclick
I am trying to implement it in Angular.
So far what I have implemented is intitalState implemented initial
and after click implemented After click
<div class="search-box" [ngClass]="isOverlay ? 'focus' : 'no-focus'">
<input class="search-text" type ="text" placeholder="Search...">
<a class="search-btn" (click)="toggleOverlay()">
<p class="search"><i class="fas fa-search"></i></p>
</a>
</div>
.search-box {
border-radius: 40px;
padding-top: 10px;
height: 60px;
padding-left: 15px;}
.search-btn {
float: right;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
border-radius: 50%;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
color: white;
cursor: pointer;}
Overlay html
<div *ngIf="isOverlay" (click)="toggleOverlay()" class="overlay-container"></div>
overlay css
.overlay-container {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: rgba(19, 16, 16, 0.7);
z-index: 998;}
My question is how can I highlight and focus the search textbox when I add overlay currently it hides behind the overlay when I togggle the overlay. I tried z-index to the searchbox onclick but it did not work. Any ideas?
It looks like what you'll need to add some css to your search box for when the overlay is active. Essentially you want to update the z-index of your search box so that it's above your overlay.
search-box {
&.focus {
position: relative;
z-index: 999;
}
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;
}
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>

<title>Icon Inside Input Field</title>

</i>
<input id="fileEdit" class="hidden" type="file" name="addImg" ng-file-change="onImageChange( $files )" ng-multiple="false" accept="{{ contentType }}"/>
</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 have a main div. Inside the div, I have an image. I want to place a text field and a button at a specific position on top of the image. Both of them should be transparent so that the users feels that they are writing on top of the image.
My question is how is this best solvable? Is it to make a div that contains those two and place the div in correct position using CSS? Or is there some kind of javascript I could use?
Also, when I hover over the button, I want it to replace the image with a new image.
I made a Fiddle on how it looks like. Here is the code from that fiddle.
HTML:
<div id="apDiv1"><img src="http://s24.postimg.org/4vpzx68yt/test1.png" width="317" height="595" />
<div id="apDiv2">
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<label for="textfield"></label>
<input name="textfield" type="text" class="formcodeaktiv" id="textfield" style="width: 153px; color: black; background-color: transparent;" />
<input name="aktiverabut" type="submit" class="aktiverabut" id="aktiverabut" style="width: 1px; color: transparent; background-color: transparent; padding-left: 40px" value="aktiverabut" />
</form>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#apDiv1 {
position:absolute;
left:79px;
top:22px;
width:354px;
height:655px;
z-index:1;
}
#apDiv2 {
position:absolute;
left:147px;
top:472px;
width:216px;
height:26px;
z-index:2;
}
.aktiverabut {
color: #FFF;
background: transparent;
position: absolute;
left: 165px;
}
.formcodeaktiv {
left: 5px;
position: absolute;
}
This is my solution, but please, read #Chandranshu advices:

I've just updated my jsfiddle to show you the benefits of using position relative on the container and absolute on its children (try resizing the textarea):
http://jsfiddle.net/coma/jXCS3/4/
I have updated your jsfiddle to 'almost' solve your problem. Here is the updated code:
HTML:
<div id="apDiv1"><img src="http://s24.postimg.org/4vpzx68yt/test1.png" width="317" height="595" />
<div id="apDiv2">
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<label for="textfield"></label>
<input name="textfield" type="text" class="formcodeaktiv" id="textfield" placeholder="Skriv in aktiveringskoden"/>
<input name="aktiverabut" type="submit" class="aktiverabut" id="aktiverabut" style="width: 1px; color: transparent; background-color: transparent; padding-left: 40px" value="aktiverabut" />
</form>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#apDiv1 {
position:absolute;
left:79px;
top:22px;
width:354px;
height:655px;
z-index:1;
}
#apDiv2 {
position:absolute;
top:451px;
width:216px;
height:26px;
z-index:2;
}
.aktiverabut {
color: #FFF;
background: transparent;
border: 0;
outline: none;
position: absolute;
left: 233px;
}
.formcodeaktiv, .formcodeaktiv:focus, .formcodeaktiv:active {
left: 72px;
position: absolute;
padding-left: 5px;
border: 0;
outline: none;
width: 153px;
color: black;
background-color: transparent;
}
Significant changes:
Your absolute positions were not right. Just correcting the positions positioned the inputs on top of the image.
Then you need to add border: 0 and outline: none to get rid of their borders.
Make sure that you also include the :focus and :active pseudoclasses because otherwise the borders will show up when the user starts typing.
Move the styles from your HTML to the CSS file. It's annoying to have inline styles.
Add a placeholder attribute to the text field. That way when the user starts typing, the placeholder text will disappear. If you keep the text in the image, user typed text will appear on top of the grey hint text.
Since you've also asked about the best way to solve this, let me answer that as well. If you can edit the image, just white out the area where the text field and the button are supposed to be and then use a pure CSS solution to render the them as you want. You can get the rounded corners using border-radius and use an image sprite for different states of the button.
Does any know how Google plus trigger a button to then open a file input field?
Could they be using an iframe for legacy browsers, or is it a HTML 5 thing???
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am needing to make firefox 3.6 trigger an input file via a button. I have read around not possible, but some how google plus can do it.
I can only test with current firefox and chrom version. If it works in IE, you need at least IE 9 (I can't test in IE9).
HTML:
<div class="button_wrapper">
<div class="button_visible" role="button">button description</div>
<div class="button_invisible">
<input type="file" class="button_input" tabindex="-1" multiple="" />
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.button_wrapper {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
.button_visible {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
padding: 6px 6px;
background-color: #EEE;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
color: #666;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.button_invisible {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.button_input {
position: absolute;
top: -10px;
left: -445px;
opacity: 0;
font: 40px arial,sans-serif;
cursor: pointer;
}
Because I didn't want to set the width and height in all css classes, I added this JS:
$('.button_invisible').each(function() {
$(this).width($(this).parent().width());
$(this).height($(this).parent().height());
});
Also see my jsfiddle.
