The only thing that I need showing up in the box there is the orange triangle, and I am not sure if I need CSS or something else to get rid of the two elements to the left of the triangle.
Is there a way to do so? I am just using the input type date
.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5M2PD/1/
Use the pseudo-class -webkit-inner-spin-button
to style it specific for webkit-based browsers:
http://jsfiddle.net/5M2PD/2/
input[type=date]::-webkit-inner-spin-button {
-webkit-appearance: none;
display: none;
}
If you want to change the style of the dropdown arrow, use the pseudo-class -webkit-calendar-picker-indicator
:
input[type=date]::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator {
-webkit-appearance: none;
display: none;
}
To eliminate the clear button, set the input to required:
http://jsfiddle.net/5M2PD/3/
<input type="date" required="required" />
To remove the clear button, use this:
::-webkit-clear-button
{
display: none; /* Hide the button */
-webkit-appearance: none; /* turn off default browser styling */
}
As a side note, to do this in IE10+ (source), use this:
::-ms-clear { }
Note that this one works on <input type="text" />
, since IE now places a clear button there as well.
To style the rest of the date control in WebKit browsers, I would recommend having a look at this link. To summarize it, you can play with the following pseudo classes:
::-webkit-datetime-edit { }
::-webkit-datetime-edit-fields-wrapper { }
::-webkit-datetime-edit-text { }
::-webkit-datetime-edit-month-field { }
::-webkit-datetime-edit-day-field { }
::-webkit-datetime-edit-year-field { }
::-webkit-inner-spin-button { }
::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator { }
I would also highly recommend using the following in order to turn off the default browser styles; I've found this to be especially useful when working with mobile browsers:
input[type="date"]
{
-webkit-appearance: none;
}
