Is there a quick way to create an input text element with an icon on the right to clear the input element itself (like the google search box)?
I looked around but I only found how to put an icon as background of the input element. Is there a jQuery plugin or something else?
I want the icon inside the input text element, something like:
--------------------------------------------------
| X|
--------------------------------------------------
Add a type="search" to your input
The support is pretty decent but will not work in IE<10
<input type="search">
Older browsers
If you need IE9 support here are some workarounds
Using a standard <input type="text"> and some HTML elements:
/**
* Clearable text inputs
*/
$(".clearable").each(function() {
const $inp = $(this).find("input:text"),
$cle = $(this).find(".clearable__clear");
$inp.on("input", function(){
$cle.toggle(!!this.value);
});
$cle.on("touchstart click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$inp.val("").trigger("input");
});
});
/* Clearable text inputs */
.clearable{
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.clearable input[type=text]{
padding-right: 24px;
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.clearable__clear{
display: none;
position: absolute;
right:0; top:0;
padding: 0 8px;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 1.2em;
user-select: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
.clearable input::-ms-clear { /* Remove IE default X */
display: none;
}
<span class="clearable">
<input type="text" name="" value="" placeholder="">
<i class="clearable__clear">×</i>
</span>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Using only a <input class="clearable" type="text"> (No additional elements)
set a class="clearable" and play with it's background image:
/**
* Clearable text inputs
*/
function tog(v){return v ? "addClass" : "removeClass";}
$(document).on("input", ".clearable", function(){
$(this)[tog(this.value)]("x");
}).on("mousemove", ".x", function( e ){
$(this)[tog(this.offsetWidth-18 < e.clientX-this.getBoundingClientRect().left)]("onX");
}).on("touchstart click", ".onX", function( ev ){
ev.preventDefault();
$(this).removeClass("x onX").val("").change();
});
// $('.clearable').trigger("input");
// Uncomment the line above if you pre-fill values from LS or server
/*
Clearable text inputs
*/
.clearable{
background: #fff url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/mJotv.gif) no-repeat right -10px center;
border: 1px solid #999;
padding: 3px 18px 3px 4px; /* Use the same right padding (18) in jQ! */
border-radius: 3px;
transition: background 0.4s;
}
.clearable.x { background-position: right 5px center; } /* (jQ) Show icon */
.clearable.onX{ cursor: pointer; } /* (jQ) hover cursor style */
.clearable::-ms-clear {display: none; width:0; height:0;} /* Remove IE default X */
<input class="clearable" type="text" name="" value="" placeholder="" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
The trick is to set some right padding (I used 18px) to the input and push the background-image right, out of sight (I used right -10px center).
That 18px padding will prevent the text hide underneath the icon (while visible).
jQuery will add the class "x" (if input has value) showing the clear icon.
Now all we need is to target with jQ the inputs with class x and detect on mousemove if the mouse is inside that 18px "x" area; if inside, add the class onX.
Clicking the onX class removes all classes, resets the input value and hides the icon.

Could I suggest, if you're okay with this being limited to html 5 compliant browsers, simply using:
<input type="search" />
JS Fiddle demo
Admittedly, in Chromium (Ubuntu 11.04), this does require there to be text inside the input element before the clear-text image/functionality will appear.
Reference:
Dive Into HTML 5: A form of Madness.
input type=search - search field (NEW) HTML5.
According to MDN, <input type="search" /> is currently supported in all modern browsers:
<input type="search" value="Clear this." />
However, if you want different behavior that is consistent across browsers here are some light-weight alternatives that only require JavaScript:
Option 1 - Always display the 'x': (example here)
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.clearable-input>[data-clear-input]'), function(el) {
el.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.target.previousElementSibling.value = '';
});
});
.clearable-input {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.clearable-input > input {
padding-right: 1.4em;
}
.clearable-input > [data-clear-input] {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.4em;
padding: 0 0.2em;
line-height: 1em;
cursor: pointer;
}
.clearable-input > input::-ms-clear {
display: none;
}
<p>Always display the 'x':</p>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" value="Clear this." />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
Option 2 - Only display the 'x' when hovering over the field: (example here)
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.clearable-input>[data-clear-input]'), function(el) {
el.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.target.previousElementSibling.value = '';
});
});
.clearable-input {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.clearable-input > input {
padding-right: 1.4em;
}
.clearable-input:hover > [data-clear-input] {
display: block;
}
.clearable-input > [data-clear-input] {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.4em;
padding: 0 0.2em;
line-height: 1em;
cursor: pointer;
}
.clearable-input > input::-ms-clear {
display: none;
}
<p>Only display the 'x' when hovering over the field:</p>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" value="Clear this." />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
Option 3 - Only display the 'x' if the input element has a value: (example here)
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.clearable-input'), function(el) {
var input = el.querySelector('input');
conditionallyHideClearIcon();
input.addEventListener('input', conditionallyHideClearIcon);
el.querySelector('[data-clear-input]').addEventListener('click', function(e) {
input.value = '';
conditionallyHideClearIcon();
});
function conditionallyHideClearIcon(e) {
var target = (e && e.target) || input;
target.nextElementSibling.style.display = target.value ? 'block' : 'none';
}
});
.clearable-input {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.clearable-input > input {
padding-right: 1.4em;
}
.clearable-input >[data-clear-input] {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.4em;
padding: 0 0.2em;
line-height: 1em;
cursor: pointer;
}
.clearable-input > input::-ms-clear {
display: none;
}
<p>Only display the 'x' if the `input` element has a value:</p>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" value="Clear this." />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
You could use a reset button styled with an image...
<form action="" method="get">
<input type="text" name="search" required="required" placeholder="type here" />
<input type="reset" value="" alt="clear" />
</form>
<style>
input[type="text"]
{
height: 38px;
font-size: 15pt;
}
input[type="text"]:invalid + input[type="reset"]{
display: none;
}
input[type="reset"]
{
background-image: url( http://png-5.findicons.com/files/icons/1150/tango/32/edit_clear.png );
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 38px;
width: 38px;
border: none;
background-color: transparent;
cursor: pointer;
position: relative;
top: -9px;
left: -44px;
}
</style>

I've created a clearable textbox in just CSS. It requires no javascript code to make it work
below is the demo link
http://codepen.io/shidhincr/pen/ICLBD
Since none of the solutions flying around really met our requirements, we came up with a simple jQuery plugin called jQuery-ClearSearch -
using it is as easy as:
<input class="clearable" type="text" placeholder="search">
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.clearable').clearSearch();
</script>
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/wldaunfr/FERw3/
If you want it like Google, then you should know that the "X" isn't actually inside the <input> -- they're next to each other with the outer container styled to appear like the text box.
HTML:
<form>
<span class="x-input">
<input type="text" class="x-input-text" />
<input type="reset" />
</span>
</form>
CSS:
.x-input {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.x-input input.x-input-text {
border: 0;
outline: 0;
}
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/VTvNX/
Change the text box type as 'search' in the design mode or
<input type="search">
EDIT: I found this link. Hope it helps. http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2011/02/clearable-textbox-jquery.html
You have mentioned you want it on the right of the input text. So, the best way would be to create an image next to the input box. If you are looking something inside the box, you can use background image but you may not be able to write a script to clear the box.
So, insert and image and write a JavaScript code to clear the textbox.
Use simple absolute positioning - it's not that hard.
jQuery:
$('span').click(function(){
$('input', $(this).parent()).val('');
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
Vanilla JS:
var spans = document.getElementsByTagName("span");
function clickListener(e) {
e.target.parentElement.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value = "";
}
for (let i = 0; i < spans.length; i++) {
spans[i].addEventListener("click", clickListener);
}
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
jQuery Mobile now has this built in:
<input type="text" name="clear" id="clear-demo" value="" data-clear-btn="true">

You can do with this commands (without Bootstrap).
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.search-field')).forEach(field => {
field.querySelector('span').addEventListener('click', e => {
field.querySelector('input').value = '';
});
});
:root {
--theme-color: teal;
}
.wrapper {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
div {
position: relative;
}
input {
background:none;
outline:none;
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
margin: 8px 0;
padding: 13px 15px;
padding-right: 42.5px;
border: 1px solid var(--theme-color);
border-radius: 5px;
box-sizing: border-box;

span {

margin: 8px 0;
padding: 13px 15px;

Here's a jQuery plugin (and a demo at the end).
http://jsfiddle.net/e4qhW/3/
I did it mostly to illustrate an example (and a personal challenge). Although upvotes are welcome, the other answers are well handed out on time and deserve their due recognition.
Still, in my opinion, it is over-engineered bloat (unless it makes part of a UI library).
I have written a simple component using jQuery and bootstrap.
Give it a try: https://github.com/mahpour/bootstrap-input-clear-button
Using a jquery plugin I have adapted it to my needs adding customized options and creating a new plugin. You can find it here:
https://github.com/david-dlc-cerezo/jquery-clearField
An example of a simple usage:
<script src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js'></script>
<script src='http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js'></script>
<script src='src/jquery.clearField.js'></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.clearField.css">
<table>
<tr>
<td><input name="test1" id="test1" clas="test" type='text'></td>
<td>Empty</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input name="test2" id="test2" clas="test" type='text' value='abc'></td>
<td>Not empty</td>
</tr>
</table>
<script>
$('.test').clearField();
</script>
Obtaining something like this:
No need to include CSS or image files. No need to include that whole heavy-artillery jQuery UI library. I wrote a lightweight jQuery plugin that does the magic for you. All you need is jQuery and the plugin. =)

I'm trying to create the 'floating labels' effect for my fields. However, I'm having difficulties because the HTML code is structured in such a way that prevents it from being achieved using only CSS as there is no way to use CSS combinators (>,+,~) and I do not have the ability to change the HTML code.
My code:
label {display: block; position: absolute; margin: 15px 0 0 12px; color: #606060; font-family: "Arial";}
input {display: block; padding: 15px 12px; border: 1px solid #bbb; border-radius: 5px; width: 300px;}
<p class="container">
<label for="input">
Label
</label>
<span class="input-wrapper">
<input type="input-text" class="input" name="input" id="input" placeholder="">
</span>
</p>
But I believe it would be possible if I was able to give the container a CSS class based on the field's input/state. I would like to give the container the display-floating-label class if the value of the input is greater than 0 ( > 0 ). And maybe when the input is focused as well. Is that possible with JavaScript?
I've tried:
$(document).ready(function() {
var formFields = $('.container');
formFields.each(function() {
var field = $(this);
var input = field.find('input');
var label = field.find('label');
function checkInput() {
var valueLength = input.val().length;
if (valueLength > 0 ) {
label.addClass('display-floating-label')
} else {
label.removeClass('display-floating-label')
}
}
input.change(function() {
checkInput()
})
});
});
But it didn't work. I'm not very familiar with JavaScript so I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.
Here's what I'm trying to achieve:
*I can not change the structure of the HTML code, I can only work with what I have.
Try the below snippet.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.input').each(function(){
if( $(this).val() !='' ){
$(this).closest('.container').addClass('display-floating-label');
}
});
$('.input').on('input', function() {
var valueLength = $(this).val().length;
if (valueLength > 0 ) {
$(this).closest('.container').addClass('display-floating-label');
} else {
$(this).closest('.container').removeClass('display-floating-label');
}
});
});
label {position: absolute;margin: 15px 0 0 12px;}
.display-floating-label label {position: absolute; margin: 10px 0 0 12px; color: #606060; font-family: "Arial";font-size:10px;}
input {display: block; padding: 18px 12px 12px 12px; border: 1px solid #bbb; border-radius: 5px; width: 300px;}

I have an input tag in my HTML page as following.
I want to make an input tag width to fit the content and minimum width.
So I wrote CSS as follows.
.number-input {
width: fit-content;
min-width: 120px;
}
<div class="price-input">
<input type="text" value="200001230001003002" class="number-input">
<button class="save"></button>
</div>
Is it possible to adjust CSS so the input will fit the text width?
I searched already, but the answers use the javascript function.
Please anyone help.
This is a great time to use that rarely used unit of ch which is relative to the width of the "0" (zero) of the current font and font sized used! Then use JS to make the width equal to the length of the input in ch I've done this in 2 places, once when it loads, and then subsequently on the onkeypress so that it will expand when edited. Take a look here:
.number-input {
width: fit-content;
min-width: 120px;
}
<div class="price-input">
<input type="text" id="mytxt" onkeypress="this.style.width = (this.value.length) + 'ch';" value="200001230001003002" class="number-input" onload="myFunction()">
<button onload="myFunction()" class="save"></button>
</div>
<script>
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("mytxt").style.width = (mytxt.value.length) + 'ch';
}
window.onload = myFunction();
</script>
You can do like this.

I have a div I would like to show when a customer enters into a form. I originally though a z-index solution would fix this but a display/show option seems better.
However, it doesn't seem to work. Can this be shortened or done in a better way?
$(document).ready(function(){
if ($("input#poundprice").text().length > 0) {
$('.pence-sign').show();
//$('.pence-sign').addClass('display:block;');
}
});
Here is the JSFiddle
You need to be checking for when something is actually typed into the box. What you are currently doing only runs once when the page loads.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#poundprice").on("change keydown paste",function(e) {
$('.pence-sign').show();
});
$("button").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});
});
.pence-sign {
position: absolute;
top: 23%;
left: 30%;
text-transform: lowercase;
font-family: arial;
display: none;
}
input, button {
appearance: none;
border: none;
font-size: inherit;
background: #eee;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 1rem;
width: 100%;
max-width: 280px;
margin-bottom:1rem;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form style="position:relative">
<div class="poundinput" style="position:relative;">
<p class="pence-sign">pence</p>
<input id="poundprice" name="price" type="currency" placeholder="Enter p value" required="">
</div>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>

I know there are many question about it, but they don't answer properly.
After readings and looking for, I tried this:
<input id="ext-element-47" class="x-input-file x-input-el" type="file" accept="" style="display:none">
hiding the file-input and then
this.element.down(".x-input-file").dom.click();
this works on Chrome's console but in my JS code it doesn't. It doesn't click.
Anyone knows why? and what can I do for make click?
Notes:
I need to make click because the file element is not visible and so when it clicks it does not show unless I do element.click ().
Here is an example what I'm doing:
document.getElementsByClassName('o-file-field-input')[0].click()
.o-file-field-input {
display: none;
}
.o-big-btn {
background-color: red;
height: 3em;
width: 3em;
}

See ya!
Here's what I usually do: Wrap the input inside a <label> element, and then style the element as a button, for example:
.pretty-file {
border: 1px solid #000;
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
padding: 5px 15px;
}
.pretty-file input[type="file"] {
display: none;
}
<label class="pretty-file">
Choose File
<input type="file" />
</label>
This finally works well:
var obElement = document.getElementsByClassName('input-file')[0];
//the title property overrides tooltip's description
obElement.setAttribute('title', ' ');
.flex-style{
display: flex;
}
.input-file{
opacity: 0;
margin-left: -40px;
width: 40px;
height: 45px;
}
.icon{
width: 40px;
height: 45px;
background-color: blueviolet;
}
<div class='flex-style'>
<div class='icon'></div>
<input class='input-file' type='file'>
</div>
I'm using blueimp's fileupload javascript widget and jQuery 1.9.0 for uploading files to a server and I have an event not being triggered in IE8, which is one of the required browsers for my project.
So because of this I can never open the window for browsing for the files. If I do a $('#fileupload').click() from the IE8 console, it works, but I didn't success in the code.
I think this is happening because of the bubbling of the event, but I'm showing you the code for deciding for yourselves. I think also that styles are importante to this issue because maybe the styled button I'm using over the real fileupload widget must be overlapping it. Maybe css styles like opacity and position matter.
Html:
<form id="supportForm">
<div class="formTable">
<div class="formRow">

<input name="user" type="text" class="form-control validate[required]" placeholder="John Smith">

<div class="formRow">
<label>Phone:</label>
<input name="phone" type="tel" class="form-control validate[required]" placeholder="Ej: 881243989">
</div>
<!-- ... -->
<!-- Some inputs and stuff -->

<div class="formRow">

Javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
upload_comp = $('#fileupload')
.fileupload({ // Widget options
singleFileUploads : false,
autoUpload : false,
dataType : 'json'
})
.on("fileuploadadd",
function(e, data) { // Function for adding files after opening the browse window
if (data.files.length > 0) {
$('input[type=file]').css('color', 'transparent');
}
// Creating divs for the selected files in the previous browse window
for ( var i = 0; i < data.files.length; i++) {
var name = $('<div></div>').text(data.files[i].name);
var icon = $('<span class="fa fa-2x fa-trash" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" title="Delete">');
icon.click(function() {
// This handler creates a button for removing the actual file
for ( var k = 0; k < fileList.length; k++) {
if (fileList[k].name == $(this).parent().text()) {
fileList.splice(k, 1);
break;
}
}
$(this).parent().remove();
});
fileDiv = $('<div class="item">').wrapInner(name).append(icon);
fileDiv.appendTo($('#additional'));
fileList.push(data.files[i]);
}
//createTooltip($('.fa-trash'));
});
if (isNavigator(CONSTANTS.BROWSER.IE8)) {
// Maybe could use something here and force the click()
// But my current solution creates an infinite loop
}
});
Css:
/* These are specifically for IE8 and are located in ie8.css */
DIV.formRow > * {
width: auto;
}
INPUT[type=file] {
display : none;
}
/* These are for all browsers in another css file, also for IE8 when there is no rule in the previous file */
.formTable {
border-spacing:1em;
display: table;
width: 45em;
min-width:45em;
margin: 0 auto;
}
div.formRow {
display: table-row;
}
div.formRow > label, #additional {
width: 35%;
}
div.formRow > * {
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
}
div.formCell {
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
}
#fileupload {
float:left;
top: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: initial;
}
.item {
border: 1px;
border-color: black;
border-style: solid;
border-radius: 5px;
border-width: thin;
display: inline-block;
padding: 4px;
margin:0.25em;
}
.item div {
vertical-align:text-bottom;
display: inline;
}
.fa-trash {
margin-left: 1em;
cursor:pointer;
color: #428BCA;
}
#company {
display: inline-block;
width: 49%;
}
#warehouse {
float:right;
width: 49%;
display: inline-block;
}
.submitFilesButton {
opacity:0;
position:absolute;
}
.fileinput-button {
text-align:center;
white-space: nowrap;
position: relative;
}
#resetButton, #remedyButton {
margin: 0.4em;
float:right;
}
label {
vertical-align:top;
}
This has been open long enough. It looked like #Sampson was right and IE8 didn't support the JS API for files.
