When I was trying to add some input fields with css
I got a problem
I couldn't make more than one css for some input fields
this is the fields I have
<input type="text" name="firstName" />
<input type="text" name="lastName" />
and the css is
input
{
background-image:url('images/fieldBG.gif');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
border: 0px solid;
height:25px;
width:235px;
}
I want to make the first field (firstName) with this css
input
{
background-image:url('images/fieldBG.gif');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
border: 0px solid;
height:25px;
width:235px;
}
and the second one (lastName) with this css
input
{
background-image:url('images/fieldBG2222.gif');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
border: 0px solid;
height:25px;
width:125px;
}
help please :-)
Use the ID selector.
CSS:
input{
background-repeat:repeat-x;
border: 0px solid;
height:25px;
width:125px;
}
#firstname{
background-image:url('images/fieldBG.gif');
}
#lastname{
background-image:url('images/fieldBG2222.gif');
}
HTML:
<input type="text" ID="firstname" name="firstName" />
<input type="text" ID="lastname" name="lastName" />
All your inputs will be styled with the generic input style, and the two special ones will have the styling specified by the ID selector.
You can style by type or name the form elements using CSS.
input[type=text] {
//styling
}
input[name=html_name] {
//styling
}
You have to change your HTML file:
<input type="text" name="firstName" />
<input type="text" name="lastName" />
...to:
<input type="text" id="FName" name="firstName" />
<input type="text" id="LName" name="lastName" />
And modify your CSS file to:
input {
background-repeat:repeat-x;
border: 0px solid;
height:25px;
width:125px;
}
#FName {
background-image:url('images/fieldBG.gif');
}
#LName {
background-image:url('images/fieldBG2222.gif');
}
Best of Luck!
Add an 'id' tag to each of your inputs:
<input type="text" id="firstName" name="firstName" />
<input type="text" id="lastName" name="lastName" />
then you can use the #selector in CSS to grab each one.
input {
background-repeat:repeat-x;
border: 0px solid;
height:25px;
}
#firstName {
background-image:url('images/fieldBG.gif');
width:235px;
}
#lastName {
background-image:url('images/fieldBG2222.gif');
width:125px;
}
Use Classes to style. they are a better solution. using classes you can style each input type individually.
<html>
<head>
<style>
.classnamehere {
//Styling;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input class="classnamehere" type="text" name="firstName" />
</body>
</html>
