A good example of implementing 'fashionable' large input text boxes? - javascript

A good example of implementing 'fashionable' large input text boxes like those found on google and tumblr?
On tumblr how do they use manage to get the input to flow backwards from where the cursor is in the box - on the final input box for URL.

You can use CSS:
input.FancyText {
background: url(something) no-repeat;
border: none;
text-align: right;
}
You can see Tumblr's CSS using Firebug.

Yes, just do like this:
input { padding: 10px; font-size: 26px; }
and it will make the input elements "fatter".

input.fat
{
text-align: right;
font-size: 28px;
}

As SLaks suggested, you can use CSS to control the appearance of the input text boxes. For example, you could use firebug to discover that the CSS tumblr uses looks like this:
background-color:#F9F8E4; /* when in focus */
background:url("/images/input_bg.png") repeat-x scroll left top #F7FCFF;
border:1px solid #97B5D2;
color:#25313C;
font-family:Georgia,Times,"Times New Roman",serif;
font-size:28px; /* This probably makes it "fat" as you want */
width:480px;
font:13px 'Lucida Grande',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
margin:0;
outline:0 none;
padding:7px;
These are the active styles (which are spread across several different rules). Additionally, the comments are mine.
Try setting the font-size property to make the input area "fat"
Try setting the text-align:right property to make the input "flow to the right" as in the URL field.

Raw HTML styling differently from jQuery generated HTML with same structure

I've been looking into this for a couple of hours now and I simply can't understand what is the problem. I've been able to isolate what's wrong into this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6r781vz3/. Click on the Tab 2! then click to add a new tab three times. You'll notice the spacing is different, also the raw tabs seem to move when selected.
I've built a pure CSS tabbed pane with the famous radio button hack. It works great. I've noticed, though, that it needed a strange padding to make it work (see code below). They are simply a <input> followed by a <label> and then a <div>, as it can be seem in the example.
When I tried to add a dynamic new tab to it I noticed this padding wasn't necessary, but what I found strange is that the HTML structure is the same, but it's behaving differently.
/* I only need this for raw html, and I have no idea why!
Not even idea why I would need this for anything!
I don't need them for dynamic tabs... */
.tabs .tab [type="radio"]:checked + .tab-label {
margin-right: -6px;
}
.tabs .tab [type="radio"]:not(:checked) + .tab-label {
margin-right: -10px;
}
I'm probably overseeing something really simple. I don't think this is a bug, since it works this way on Chrome and on Firefox here.
Can anyone see the problem? :(
Because when using display: inline-block space between elements become visual space on the browser. You can handle this with some solutions. One is to use font-size: 0 to parent element and specific one on child like:
.tabs .tab {
display: inline;
font-size: 0;/*set font size to 0*/
}
.tabs .tab-label {
background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3);
font-size: 16px;/*set desire font size*/
display: inline-block;
padding: 7px;
margin: 1px;
position: relative;
vertical-align: bottom;
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
}

How give more style on a CSS /Jquery Menu Bar

Long time!! :)
I would appreciate if someone can help me with this, it's a jquery menu that I've been using for my website, I would like to know if it's possible to:
Menu Bar at Jsfiddle
Put some vertical line separator on each option of the menu to separate them
without being affected by the hover effect like the text option.
add to the menu on the corner end on the right a small ''social media'' icons (img)
each one directing to a specific link
just like the text menu. The menu fits the website content (940px width)
and has extra space but in the fiddle example it doesn't show.
also important> is there a way to add a bigger text on the menu
and make each menu word option bigger by stretching it? Looks pretty small.Horizontally I mean, vertically it stays the same.
It's important that the underline hover and the rest appears the same just like it's shown in jsfiddle without being affected by these possible changes.
I would deeply appreciate it!!! :)
There are a few CSS and markup changes you can make to achieve what you'd like
#example-one { margin: 0 auto; list-style: none; position: relative; width: 940px; font-family:Arial; }
#example-one li a { color: #bbb; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing:2px; display: block; float: left; padding: 6px 10px 4px 10px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase; border-right: 1px solid white; }
#example-one li:first-child a { border-left:1px solid white; }
On the first line, you can add your font-family to change the font used in your menu.
On the second line, I added a border-right, and set letter-spacing:2px.
I added the third line to give a border-left to only the first item (so that you get the full appearance of separators).
Also I added this item to your list that you could easily insert a social media icon into:
<li style="float:right;"><a style="border:none;" href="#">Social Icon</a></li>
You can push it to the right side of the menu using float:right.
Here is an updated fiddle.

Strange padding on div

The grey border shouldn't be visible, it should be covered by the black border and I don't understand why it won't... here's the CSS code:
#portrait{
width:120px;
height:100px;
top:20px;
border: solid black 1px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
cursor:pointer;
}
#prof_picture{
width: inherit;
height: inherit;
border: none;
}
HTML (inside a table):
<td id="portrait">
<img id="prof_picture"></img>
</td>
and javascript
$("#prof_picture").attr('src',"profile/loading.gif");
I had to make the DOM inherit part of the attributes because when using that javascript line the image would assume its natural width and height and I wanted it just to fit the portrait. When I did this, the strange border appeared. Do you know why?
Add font-size: 0; to #portrait{}
Try setting your image to become a block element:
#prof_picture { display:block; }
Alternatively you could set it to align to the bottom (will work only if its an inline (or inline-block) element), although i think there may be cases or environments where this could produce unwanted results.
#prof_picture { vertical-align: bottom; }
Images are, by default (unless specified otherwise), inline elements. Most browsers will reserve some extra space here, but you could also counter this by setting the parent's line-height to zero.
#portrait{
line-height: 0;
}
Setting line-height: 0;, font-size: 0; or display: inline; on #profile Fixes it in the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/CyV7j/6/
There is 4px of extra space added around the img element because of the way inline elements (line an img) are rendered inside of a table row.
Please consider styling with classes instead of ids. And restricting the use of tables to tabular data and not for the layout of photos.
I suggest you get rid of the border: none; by #prof_picture. You can also try to write the border on #portrait li this
border: 1px solid black;
As it is the right way to write a border.
If you are using certain browsers.... you need to set this in the css:
img{
outline:none;
}

Styling file input with foundation

I'm using foundation and I've not seen anything in the documentation regarding the file input, only general input elements. But styling the file input is not so easy. And more if you want to keep it coherent with the design of the whole form in all the browsers.
I've seen some solutions like Styling an input type="file" button or https://github.com/filamentgroup/jQuery-Custom-File-Input, but I wanted to know if there's something specific in foundation, as the usual wrapping div styles don't work at all (div.large-3.columns etc.).
How do you do it?
Do you need only button? Or field with file's address too? If only button the simpliest solution is demo
<a class="wrapper">
button name
<input type="file"/>
</a>
.wrapper {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
input {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
font-size: 50px; /* some huge for cursor pointer hack */
}
also you can use pseudo-classes for some browsers see article
I just applied the .button class to the input tag.
It looks good enough for me.
For any styling more sophisticated than Foundation's default (e.g. changing the look of the browse button) you will need to edit their implementation of the label element technique.
It's fully semantic, accessible and requires no JavaScipt. Basically, you hide the input, ensure the id is set on both the label and file field, then style the label accordingly. Here's a great article that explains the technique along with a CodePen (https://codepen.io/bmarshall511/pen/bjyEgq) that shows how it's done: https://benmarshall.me/styling-file-inputs/
[type="file"] + label {
background: #f15d22;
border-radius: 5px;
color: #fff;
font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
font-weight: 600;
}

How can I make a div horizontally slide in?

I currently have a div appearing on hover, but it just pops up rather than sliding in:
#home-heroImage{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px auto;
width:980px;
height: 525px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
background-color: #fcba2e;
}
#home-hero-pop{
background-color: #ffffff;
opacity:0.8;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=80)";
filter: alpha(opacity=80);
font: 16px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: #6d6e70;
text-align: left;
padding: 10px;
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
height: 505px;
width: 460px;
z-index: 2;
}
Fiddle.
After looking through the posts on SO, I found this example, which would work if I could get it to slide in from the right instead of the bottom. I don't know much about JavaScript or jQuery so the modifications I've tried to make to this code are not producing the desired effect:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.up-down').mouseover(function(){
$('.default').stop().animate({
height: 0
}, 200);
}).mouseout(function(){
$('.default').stop().animate({
height: 200
}, 200)
})
});
Fiddle.
I've tried reading several JavaScript articles online but they're over my head right now.
Based on the example you give, here's it sliding in from the right.. is this what you are after? http://jsfiddle.net/jPneT/208/
EDIT 2017
Too much jQuery
You're right, here's a CSS alternative
.left-right {
overflow:hidden;
height:200px;
width:200px;
position:relative;
background-color:#333;
}
.slider {
width:200px;
height:200px;
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:-200px;
background-color:#000;
color:#fff;
transition:0.4s ease;
}
.left-right:hover .slider {
right:0;
}
<div class="left-right">
<div class="slider">Welcome !</div>
</div>
My answer uses no JavaScript. CSS can handle this automatically for you.
Here's a link to a fork of your code as a working example:
http://jsfiddle.net/g105b/Adk8r/11/
There is only a little change from your example. Rather than hiding the element and showing it with display property, the element is placed off-screen using right: -480px (where 480 is the cumulative width), and moving it to right: 0 when the mouse hovers.
Using CSS transitions provides the animation, and support is very good now: http://www.caniuse.com/#search=transition
This technique allows all browsers back to IE6 view and use your website, but users with older browsers will not have an enhanced experience. Unless you require the animation - as in, it is a feature for it to animate - I would suggest using CSS transitions to futureproof your website and use web standards.
Users of deprecated browsers deserve a deprecated experience.

As said: please learn to write logical and correct HTML. Your markup is invalid and unlogical. You should perfect your HTML and CSS and then study JavaScript and jQuery rather than trying to get a hang of everything at once. This code is a pain to the eye.
Here's what's wrong:
Try to avoid large chunks of inline style and JavaScript.
You use a span where one would use a heading-tag (<h1>Welcome</h1>) and style it via CSS.
You use line breaks <br /> where one would use paragraphs:
<p>This div appears on hover but I would like to slide in from the right instead of just appearing.</p>
There's no structure in your code. This is not necessary to create a working website, but it's good practice to give child elements an indent of two or four spaces. This way, it's very clear for yourself which element is which child or parent. The same is true for your CSS rules: it's better to put your selector first and then the rules (indented) like so:
h1 {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 160%;
}
You have a closing </a> tag but there's no opening <a>.
There is a very simple way to do it using css3.
instead of going through the hassle of javascript
try something like in the CSS:
div.move {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background:#0000FF;
color:#FFFFFF;
padding:10px;
}
/*on mouse hover*/
div.move:hover {
/*General*/
transform:translate(200px,100px);
/*Firefox*/
-moz-transform:translate(200px,200px);
/*Microsoft Internet Explorer*/
-ms-transform:translate(200px,100px);
/*Chrome, Safari*/
-webkit-transform:translate(200px,100px);
/*Opera*/
-o-transform:translate(200px,100px);
}
in the HTML:
<div class="move">Anything is here moves!</div>
Also the translate works on an x/y axis.
This is very simple. All you need is HTML, CSS and jQuery.
Make a solid div.
Make the parent div to hide overflow (overflow:hidden) in CSS.
Assign a margin-left of 100% (or some length) that the required div hides away because of margin.
Do a jquery animate() function to bring down margin-left to 0 or 0%.
You can also set the speed of animation by giving time in ms (milliseconds) or some expression like slow or fast
