In my code snippet below:
<html>
<body>
<div style="width: 700px;">
<span>test</span>
<input style="width: 100%;"></input>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I am facing an issue where the span and input elements inside the div do not behave as I expected. Ideally, I want both the span and input to occupy 100% of the width of the div, with the input starting right after the span and extending till the end of the div without wrapping to a new line. How can I achieve this desired layout?
For a design with fluid width that works properly:
Check out: http://jsfiddle.net/kxEML/
CSS Code:
.inputContainer {
width: 300px;
border: 1px dashed #f0f
}
.inputContainer label {
float: left;
margin-right: 5px;
background: #ccc
}
.inputContainer div {
overflow: hidden;
}
.inputContainer input {
width: 100%;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
display: block
}
HTML Code:
<div class="inputContainer">
<label>test</label>
<div><input /></div>
</div>
It's clear that the current setup is not functioning correctly. The input field is taking up the full 700px width.
<div style="width: 700px;">
<span style="width:20%">test</span>
<input style="width: 80%;"></input>
</div>
Adjusting the widths in this way should lead to a better result.
To make them sit side by side on the same line, ensure that their combined width is less than 100% or 700px to fit within the div. By setting their widths totaling around 100% and using the float property, you are instructing the browser to align them flush left, resulting in them being displayed next to each other on the same line. :D
<html>
<body>
<div style="width: 700px;">
<span style="width: 49%; float: left; background-color: blue;">test</span>
<input style="width: 49%; float: left; background-color: green;"></input>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Applying width:100% to the input element sets it to 700px. By adjusting the width of the text accordingly, the row becomes wider, causing the input to wrap onto the next line. To prevent this, consider changing the width of the input to 95% for a better fit.
Try it: http://jsfiddle.net/q75C8/
Alternatively, a jQuery solution could be implemented as shown below:
$("input").width(($("div").width()-10)-$("span").width());
See it in action: http://jsfiddle.net/q75C8/2/
Remember, there's no need to include </input>.
Here's a different approach you can try:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div { width: 700px; }
label { display: block; text-align: right; }
label > input { width: 50%; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<label for="user-name">User Name: <input name="user" id="user-name" /></label>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Opting for using a LABEL instead of a SPAN ensures better accessibility, especially for visually impaired users.
By setting "display: block" on the LABEL, it will expand to fill the entire width of its container (the DIV) and appear on a new line.
The "width: 50%" attribute on the INPUT element allows it to take up half of the LABEL's width.
Applying "text-align: right" aligns the label text to the right edge of the INPUT field.
Remember to use the ID of the INPUT element in the FOR attribute of the LABEL, not its NAME. This adjustment makes the connection clear between the two elements.
<html>
<style type="text/css>
.left {
float:left;
width:15%;
margin:0px auto;
padding:0px;
}
.right {
float:right;
width:85%;
margin:0px auto;
padding:0px;
}
.clearthis {
width:100%;
margin:0px auto;
padding:0px;
clear:both;
}
</style>
<body>
<div style="width: 700px;">
<div class="left">
<span>sandbox</span>
</div>
<div class="right">
<input style="width: 100%;"></input>
</div>
<div class="clearthis"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
something in this format could possibly function
I utilized table elements to achieve the desired layout:
<html>
<body>
<div style="width: 700px;">
<table border="0" style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
<td><span>example text</span></td>
<td style="width: 100%;"><input style="width: 100%;"></input></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you're looking for an alternative to using Div and CSS, consider utilizing a table structure:
<table>
<tr>
<td><span>Username</span></td>
<td><input id="username" name="username" value="" type="text" autocomplete="on" placeholder="Username">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>Password</span></td>
<td><input id="password" name="password" value="" type="password" placeholder="Password">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<button type="submit">Login</button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
