I'm using a jQuery plugin datepicker to show an inline calendar element inside of a column, but the calendar is being placed at the top left of the page, and I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong.
I've attached a picture of what I see on my screen. The red boxes are the two columns I'm working with, and I'm trying to get the date picker underneath the input field in the first column.
var datepickerContainer = $('.datepicker-container');
$('.datepicker-input').datepicker({
autoPick: true,
inline: true,
container: datepickerContainer,
});
.datepicker-container {
border: 1px dashed #eee;
margin: 10px auto;
min-height: 160px;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.control-module {
margin-top: 35px;
}
.activity-feed {
padding: 15px;
list-style: none;
}
.feed-module {
margin-top: 35px;
float: right;
border: 1px solid red;
}
.feed-positioning {
padding: 0 0 0 0!important;
}
/* Date headers */
.date {
width: 190px;
position: relative;
top: -5px;
color: #8c96a3c0;
font-size: 13px;
border-radius: 6px;
}
/* Messages */
.css-message {
font-size: 15px;
}
.activity-feed>.css-message {
position: relative;
margin-left: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
padding-left: 40px;
border-left: 2px solid #e4e8ebf6;
}
.css-message:last-child {
border-color: transparent;
}
.css-message::after {
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: -6px;
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
border-radius: 6px;
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #f37167;
}

It seems that the datepicker you are trying to use is bringing it's own css to the party and placing it on the container you chose:
.datepicker-container {
background-color: #fff;
direction: ltr;
font-size: 12px;
left: 0;
line-height: 30px;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
-ms-touch-action: none;
touch-action: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
width: 210px;
z-index: -1;
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
-webkit-touch-callout: none;
}
Including some positioning properties.
The issue is that its css is loaded after your own, so it takes priority.
The good thing is that you have a few ways to fix it, you can either manage to load it before your own css, you can make a better selector for you own css to get priority back, or you can use the !important keyword to overwrite any properties you want.
Maybe look into the datepicker documentation as well to see if there's an option to disable that.

My first dropdown button "Content" works correctly but when I click on the second dropdown button "Dropdown", the contents from the first dropdown button show up instead???
I have no idea why it is doing this??? Maybe I am overlooking a small detail, but I can't seem to find where I am going wrong with this.
/* When the user clicks on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown if the user clicks outside of it
window.onclick = function(e) {
if (!e.target.matches('.dropbtn')) {
var myDropdown = document.getElementById("myDropdown");
if (myDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
myDropdown.classList.remove('show');
}

Ummm.... because you call the same function from both buttons.
Essentially, you run the same piece of code, myFunction, despite which navigation item is clicked. Therefore, of course both items will always do the same thing.
Give each menu a different ID (remember that IDs need to be unique - i.e. you can't have two items with the same ID), and make myFunction take the ID of the element to show / hide, as shown below.
This means that there is a way for the function to determine which menu open, and thus it will open the correct one.
/* When the user clicks on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction(id) {
document.getElementById(id).classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown if the user clicks outside of it
window.onmouseup = function(e) {
var dropdown = document.querySelector(".dropdown-content.show"); //Get any shown dropdown element (i.e. any element on the page with both the dropdown-content class and the show class
if (dropdown) { //If such an element exists, a dropdown needs to be closed
dropdown.classList.remove("show"); //So remove the show class
}

How does this work?
myFunction('dropdownOne') means that the id variable in myFunction is given the value dropdownOne - therefore when we call document.getElementById(id) it will interpret as document.getElementById('dropdownOne') instead, and hence the first dropdown is targeted.
Likewise, if we call myFunction('dropdownTwo'), then it will interpret as document.getElementById('dropdownTwo'), and thus target the second dropdown.
Therefore, you can add as many menu items like this as you want, assuming each has a unique identifier, and myFunction is given the unique ID each time.
I am using jscolor colorpicker which can only be attached to button element or input element.I want to use it for div.I tried this way-
https://jsfiddle.net/anuranpal/Lead7c7q/43/
CSS
edit-color-container {
border: 1px solid gainsboro;
height: 70px;
width: 70px;
text-align: center;
}
.select-button {

border: none;
padding: 0!important;
cursor: pointer;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
-moz-user-select: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
/* this will work for QtWebKit in future */
-webkit-user-drag: none;
}
.selected-color-container {

border-radius: 50px/50px;
width: 35px;
height: 35px;
background: #DF068C;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 5px;
position: relative;
}
HTML
<div class="edit-color-container">
<input id="selected-color-value" type="hidden" value="#DF068C" />
<button id="editColor" class="select-button jscolor " data-jscolor="
{width:150, height:150,valueElement:'selected-color-

<div class="selected-color-container" id="selectedColor"></div>
<div class="uk-text-small uk-text-primary uk-margin-small-top" style="margin:auto">Edit</div>
</button>
</div>
But here I have used button instead of div and it is creating some issues in chrome like if I click on the circle,nothing happen but If I click just outside the circle, the color picker toggles.
So, I want to use div instead of button and open the colorpicker when I click on the div.
Please help. Thank you in Advance :-)
Seems like the plugin doesn't support div, but using its api you can toggle colorpicker using code, if I got you correctly, here is my solution:
HTML
<div class="edit-color-container">
<div id="styleSpan" style="background-image: none; background-color: rgb(186, 243, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"
onclick="document.getElementById('color-picker').jscolor.show()"></div>
<div id="btn" onclick="document.getElementById('color-picker').jscolor.show()">Edit</div>
<input id="color-picker" class="jscolor {styleElement:'styleSpan',value:'DF068C'}" type="hidden">
</div>
CSS
.edit-color-container {
border: 1px solid gainsboro;
height: 70px;
width: 70px;
text-align: center;
}
#styleSpan {
width: 35px;
height: 35px;
border-radius: 50%;
margin: 5px auto;
cursor: pointer;
}
#btn {
cursor: pointer;
}
body > div:last-child {
margin: 50px 0 0 20px;
}
jsfiddle
Notice that you can use onclick on edit-color-container instead.
I need to develop a view with similar tooltip which is on github.
I tried using the css but was not able to create the exact ui.
My CSS is as follow
[tooltip] {
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
[tooltip]:hover:after {
background: #333;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .8);
border-radius: 5px;
bottom: 26px;
color: #fff;
content: attr(tooltip);
left: 20%;
padding: 5px 15px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
white-space: nowrap;
}
[tooltip]:hover:before {
border: solid;
border-color: #333 transparent;
border-width: 6px 6px 0 6px;
bottom: 20px;
content: "";
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
}
Please advise how can I get the same effect.
For what is worth if you consider bootstrap, similar, or a partial bootstrap installation or related classes, you can achieve this like this:
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="col-xs-4 col-xs-push-4 martop50">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon">https://</span>
<input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Amount (to the nearest dollar)">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-clipboard" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" title="Copy to clipboard"></i></span>
</div>
<span class="download-btn"><button class="btn btn-sm" ><i class="fa fa-download"></i></button></span>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.martop50{
margin-top:50px;
}
.download-btn{
display:inline;
float: left;
margin: 0px 2px;
}
.btn-group-sm>.btn, .btn-sm {
padding: 7px 12px;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1.5;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.input-group {
position: relative;
display: table;
border-collapse: separate;
width: 88%;
float: left;
}
Tooltip JQUERY
$(function () {
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip()
})
The rest of your work would be practically cosmetics and replacing the http:// with a dropdown. That should be fairly easy for you to do.
Here is the DEMO
Try removing , adjusting left:20% , also possibly padding: 5px 15px; at [tooltip]:hover:after
Here's a tooltip that opens downwards.
[tooltip] {
display: inline;
position: relative;
border-bottom: 1px dotted rgba(0,0,0,.21);
}
[tooltip]:hover {
border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;
}
[tooltip]:hover:after {
background: #333;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .8);
border-radius: 5px;
top: calc(100% + 3px);
color: #fff;
content: attr(tooltip);
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
padding: 5px 15px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
white-space: nowrap;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
[tooltip]:hover:before {
border: solid;
border-color: transparent transparent rgba(0,0,0,.8);
border-width: 6px;
bottom: -3px;
left: calc(50% - 3px);
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
}
<div tooltip="I am tooltip">
I am some content.
</div>
<hr>
Let's see a tooltip on an <span tooltip="Hey, I'm a tooltip, too!">inline element.</span>
However, the way to go here is to have tooltip arguments on the html element and build specific positioning rules for your alignment params (You probably want to have tooltip-position attribute set to top|bottom|left|right and have specific CSS for each case). For example:
[tooltip][tooltip-position="bottom"]:hover:after { /*code here*/ }
From the looks of it, considering the required coding effort and your apparent CSS knowledge, using a library might save you some time. Possible candidates:
Bootstrap Tooltip
jQuery tootip
tooltipster
qtip2
tipped
tooltipsy
These are only a few examples, I'm not endorsing any of them and there are plenty of others. You should research this yourself and decide based on your projects' needs.
So My code do when i click on name(class ='frnd'), then in result open one window and it is drag-able but when i again click on (class =frnd) then their open again new windows, for example if i click on Simon there popup new windows and after one click it is drag-able and than once more i click on name(class ='frnd' (Simon)) its popup one more window again. Problem: I dont want that if the window is already open, it wont open again same window Simon.
For avoid this problem i was trying this code in js
if(!($("#windows").hasClass('.5647383'+id))){
$html = '<div class="mwindow "><div class="hwindow 5647383'+id+'">'+usr+'<span class="cls">x</span></div><div class="msgbody '+id+'"><div id="mstd"class= umsg'+id+'></div><div id="tarea"><form method="post"><textarea class="ctarea" name="'+id+'"></textarea></form></div></div></div>';
$('#windows').append($html);
}
I don't know why isnt working thiscondition if($("#windows").hasClass('.5647383'+id)).
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.frnd').click(function(){
var id = $(this).attr("id");
var usr=$(this).text();
var exst = document.getElementsByClassName('.5647383'+id);
if($("#windows").hasClass('.5647383'+id)){
$html = '<div class="mwindow "><div class="hwindow 5647383'+id+'">'+usr+'<span class="cls">x</span></div><div class="msgbody '+id+'"><div id="mstd"class= umsg'+id+'></div><div id="tarea"><form method="post"><textarea class="ctarea" name="'+id+'"></textarea></form></div></div></div>';

Elements by their ID attribute are selected using the hashmark symbol, so
'.' + id should be '#' + id.
The dot symbol (.) selects elements by their class name.

EDIT
You had a number of other problems, look at the reviewed code:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/bdwaWx
The problem is hasClass() doesn’t use a period prefix for classes — that’s selector syntax. So:
var hwindow_div = $('.5647383'+id) will find your .hwindow div,
hwindow_div.hasClass('5647383'+id) checks whether it has the class.
A simple example.
PS. while it’s a separate problem, #marekful is correct about the #id syntax.
I want to have a nice little icon that, when clicked will clear the text in the <INPUT> box.
This is to save space rather than having a clear link outside of the input box.
My CSS skills are weak... Here is a screenshot photo of how the iPhone looks.
Nowadays with the <input type="search"> element, it's pretty simple:
<input type="search" placeholder="Search..."/>
Supported browsers will automatically render a usable clear button in the field by default.
The clear button is a ::-webkit-search-cancel-button CSS pseudo-element automatically inserted by Webkit/Blink-based browsers (though it's technically still a non-standard feature).
If you use Bootstrap, you'll have to add a CSS override to force the pseudo-element to show:
input[type=search]::-webkit-search-cancel-button {
-webkit-appearance: searchfield-cancel-button;
}
Officially, the -webkit-search-cancel-button psuedo-element is non-standard and should not be relied upon as a built-in HTML feature across browsers.
Notably Firefox does not render the clear button by default as of version 110, but they have plans to enable it eventually: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1654288. You can check up-to-date browser compatibility information on MDN or CanIUse.com.
The most reliable, future-proof, cross-browser approach is to use a form with an explicit <input type="reset"/> element nearby to allow clearing the Search form with a button. This also makes it easier to add accecibility hints and style the clear button directly with CSS.
<form action="/search">
<input type="search" placeholder="Search..."/>
<input type="reset" value="X" alt="Clear the search form">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
Extras: Safari/WebKit browsers can also provide extra features when using type="search", like results=5, enterkeyhint="...", and autosave="...", but they also override many of your styles (e.g. height, borders) . To prevent those overrides, while still retaining functionality like the X button, you can add this to your css:
input[type=search] {
-webkit-appearance: none;
}
See the MDN Documentation, CanIUse.com, or CSS-Tricks.com for more complete and up-to-date info about the features provided by <input type="search"/> in browsers today.
Since HTML5, you could use <input type="search">. But this isn't necessarily customizable. In case you'd like to have full control over the UI, here are two kickoff examples. One with jQuery and another without.
With jQuery:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>SO question 2803532</title>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input.deletable').wrap('<span class="deleteicon"></span>').after($('<span>x</span>').click(function() {
$(this).prev('input').val('').trigger('change').focus();
}));
});
</script>
<style>
span.deleteicon {
position: relative;
display: inline-flex;
align-items: center;
}
span.deleteicon span {
position: absolute;
display: block;
right: 3px;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
border-radius: 50%;
color: #fff;
background-color: #ccc;
font: 13px monospace;
text-align: center;
line-height: 1em;
cursor: pointer;
}
span.deleteicon input {
padding-right: 18px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" class="deletable">
</body>
</html>
Without jQuery
jQuery is not strictly necessary, it just nicely separates the logic needed for progressive enhancement from the source, you can of course also go ahead with plain HTML/CSS/JS:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>SO question 2803532, with "plain" HTML/CSS/JS</title>
<style>
span.deleteicon {
position: relative;
display: inline-flex;
align-items: center;
}
span.deleteicon span {
position: absolute;
display: block;
right: 3px;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
border-radius: 50%;
color: #fff;
background-color: #ccc;
font: 13px monospace;
text-align: center;
line-height: 1em;
cursor: pointer;
}
span.deleteicon input {
padding-right: 18px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<span class="deleteicon">
<input type="text">
<span onclick="var input = this.previousElementSibling; input.value = ''; input.focus();">x</span>
</span>
</body>
</html>
You only end up with uglier HTML (and non-crossbrowser compatible JS ;) ).
Again, if the UI look'n'feel isn't your biggest concern, but the functionality is, then just use <input type="search"> instead of <input type="text">. It'll show the (browser-specific) clear button on HTML5 capable browsers.
HTML5 introduces the 'search' input type that I believe does what you want.
<input type="search" />
Here's a live example.
Check out our jQuery-ClearSearch plugin. It's a configurable jQuery plugin - adapting it to your needs by styling the input field is straightforward. Just use it as follows:
<input class="clearable" type="text" placeholder="search">
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.clearable').clearSearch();
</script>
Example
You can't actually put it inside the text box unfortunately, only make it look like its inside it, which unfortunately means some css is needed :P
Theory is wrap the input in a div, take all the borders and backgrounds off the input, then style the div up to look like the box. Then, drop in your button after the input box in the code and the jobs a good'un.
Once you've got it to work anyway ;)
Of course the best approach is to use the ever-more-supported <input type="search" />.
Anyway for a bit of coding fun I thought that it could be achieved also using the form's reset button, and this is the working result (it is worth noting that you cannot have other inputs in the form but the search field with this approach, or the reset button will erase them too), no javascript needed:
form{
position: relative;
width: 200px;
}
form input {
width: 100%;
padding-right: 20px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
form input:placeholder-shown + button{
opacity: 0;
pointer-events: none;
}
form button {
position: absolute;
border: none;
display: block;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
line-height: 16px;
font-size: 12px;
border-radius: 50%;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 5px;
margin: auto;
background: #ddd;
padding: 0;
outline: none;
cursor: pointer;
transition: .1s;
}
<form>
<input type="text" placeholder=" " />
<button type="reset">×</button>
</form>
I got a creative solution I think you are looking for
$('#clear').click(function() {
$('#input-outer input').val('');
});
body {
font-family: "Tahoma";
}
#input-outer {
height: 2em;
width: 15em;
border: 1px #e7e7e7 solid;
border-radius: 20px;
}
#input-outer input {
height: 2em;
width: 80%;
border: 0px;
outline: none;
margin: 0 0 0 10px;
border-radius: 20px;

}
#clear {
position: relative;
float: right;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
top: 5px;
right: 5px;
border-radius: 20px;
background: #f1f1f1;

font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;

}
#clear:hover {

Firefox doesn't seem to support the clear search field functionality... I found this pure CSS solution that works nicely: Textbox with a clear button completely in CSS | Codepen | 2013. The magic happens at
.search-box:not(:valid) ~ .close-icon {
display: none;
}
body {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Verdana;
}
h2 {
color: green;
text-align: center;
}
.redfamily {
color: red;
}
.search-box,.close-icon,.search-wrapper {
position: relative;
padding: 10px;
}
.search-wrapper {
width: 500px;
margin: auto;
}
.search-box {
width: 80%;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
outline: 0;
border-radius: 15px;
}
.search-box:focus {
box-shadow: 0 0 15px 5px #b0e0ee;
border: 2px solid #bebede;
}
.close-icon {
border:1px solid transparent;
background-color: transparent;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
outline: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}
.close-icon:after {
content: "X";
display: block;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
position: absolute;
background-color: #FA9595;

<h2>
Textbox with a clear button completely in CSS <br> <span class="redfamily">< 0 lines of JavaScript ></span>
</h2>
<div class="search-wrapper">
<form>
<input type="text" name="focus" required class="search-box" placeholder="Enter search term" />
<button class="close-icon" type="reset"></button>

I needed more functionality and added this jQuery in my code:
$('.close-icon').click(function(){ /* my code */ });
Maybe this simple solution can help:
<input type="text" id="myInput" value="No War"/><button onclick="document.getElementById('myInput').value = ''" title="Clear">X</button></input>

$('#clear').click(function() {
$('#input-outer input').val('');
$('#input-outer input').focus();
});
body {

#input-outer {
height: 2em;

It is so simple in HTML5
<input type="search">
This will do your job!
