CSS: December 2006 Archives

2006 Dec 8

Making a tableless form is fairly very easy. Like the one shown below:












HTML code:

<form id="testform" name="testform" >
<label >Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" /><br />
<label >Email:</label>
<input type="text" name="email" /><br />
<label >Comment:</label>
<textarea name="comments" rows="5" cols="25"></textarea><br />
</form>

Add this to your CSS:

#testform label,input ,textarea{
display: block;
width: 150px;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
#testform label {
text-align: right;
width: 75px;
padding-right: 20px;
}
#testform br {
clear: left;
}

Using CSS we could add some uniqueness to our hml pages using transparent images. for example, if we have a global background image ang on top of it there is a gif image only the border or the edges would become transparent.

Specifiying the image opacity allows us to adjust the transparency of our images. here's a sample code. i usually place it under #container tag on my css file.

/* CSS file */
body{
background-image: url(images/background.gif);
}

#container{
filter:alpha (opacity=80); /* MS Internet Explorer */
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha (style=0, opacity=80) /* MS IE proprietory */
-moz-opacity: 0.8; /* Mozilla v1.6 and below */
opacity: 0.8; /* CSS-3 Standards */
-khtml-opacity:.8 /* Safari */
}
/* CSS file */

the code above makes all the image found on the #container tag lessen its opacity by 80%. not really usefull for me but, you might like it so here goes.
