Html align all text boxes

CSS Text Alignment

In this chapter you will learn about the following properties:

• text-align
• text-align-last
• direction
• unicode-bidi
• vertical-align

Text Alignment

The text-align property is used to set the horizontal alignment of a text.

A text can be left or right aligned, centered, or justified.

The following example shows center aligned, and left and right aligned text (left alignment is default if text direction is left-to-right, and right alignment is default if text direction is right-to-left):

Example

When the text-align property is set to «justify», each line is stretched so that every line has equal width, and the left and right margins are straight (like in magazines and newspapers):

Example

Text Align Last

The text-align-last property specifies how to align the last line of a text.

Example

Align the last line of text in three

elements:

Text Direction

The direction and unicode-bidi properties can be used to change the text direction of an element:

Example

Vertical Alignment

The vertical-align property sets the vertical alignment of an element.

Example

Set the vertical alignment of an image in a text:

img.a <
vertical-align: baseline;
>

img.b vertical-align: text-top;
>

img.c vertical-align: text-bottom;
>

align textbox and text/labels in html?

I cant figure it out. How do i align the textbox? I thought using float: left on the labels on the left (then doing it on the input when i notice the input was now on the left without that) but that was completely wrong. How do i get the textbox align along with the labels on the left of them next to the textbox instead of the far left? The picture is an example of what i’d like it to look like.

You have two boxes, left and right, for each label/input pair. Both boxes are in one row and have fixed width. Now, you just have to make label text float to the right with text-align: right;

Floyd that is an ignorant statement. Tables have specific places in which they work very well. CSS is not a solve all tool, and if you can’t see past that, do not recommend poor solutions, you do people a disservice.

@Jeremy I have very limited experience with web design (month or so), but my personal sentiment is that tables should be avoided like a plague (for anything except, well, tables themselves). It’s, of course, just a subjective opinion, but I’ve had too many problems with them over the course of that month.

Using a table would be one (and easy) option.

Other options are all about setting fixed width on the and making it text-aligned to the right:

or, as was pointed out, make them all float instead of inline.

you can do a multi div layout like this

Or, I actually prefer tables for forms like this. This is very much tabular data and it comes out very clean. Both will work though.

I like to set the ‘line-height’ in the css for the divs to get them to line up properly. Here is an example of how I do it using asp and css:

And here is the code in the CSS file to make all of the above fields look nice and neat:

#profileRow1 #profileRow1Col1 #profileRow1Col2 .righty

you can basically pull everything but the DIV tags and replace with your own content.

Trust me when I say it looks aligned the way the image in the original post does!

I would post a screenshot but Stack wont let me: Oops! Your edit couldn’t be submitted because: We’re sorry, but as a spam prevention mechanism, new users aren’t allowed to post images. Earn more than 10 reputation to post images.

css- how to align all textbox?

I have a screen that I want to align the textbox so they are all on the same position. Below is the screenshot where it’s not aligned: My code:

File Name:  " readonly> 
 
URL Link:  " readonly> 
 
Start Date:  " readonly> 
 
End Date:  " readonly required /> 
 
Enable:   On   Off  

Note: label is not being used at the moment. I am using &emsp and obviously can’t get them to align together. Been trying to fix this for an hour. Is there any way to achieve what I want?

give a size to the label, via display:inline-block or float 😉 (mind the for attribute using the label, so it is linked to its own input .

CSS Grid is the simplest way to go for forms.

A form is a two dimensional array and grid was design for just this purpose. Tabular data without the need for tables.

 
File Name: " readonly> URL Link: " readonly> Start Date: " readonly> End Date: " readonly required/> Enable: 
 On Off 
 

i tried using label and it’s css but for URL Link textfield, it seems to move the textbox below the word. I need it to stay next to the word.

This method should not cause any wrapping. It wil overflow if the fields are too big. I fixed the widths in grid-template-columns: 100px 400px; column 1 and column 2. Change these as desired for your needs. (%, fr, or px)

File Name:" readonly>
 
URL Link:" readonly>
 
Start Date:" readonly>
 
End Date:" readonly required/>
 
Enable: On Off

File Name:	» readonly>
URL Link:	» readonly>
Start Date:	» readonly>
End Date:	» readonly required/>
Enable:	On Off

It is usually said that html

should not be used for layout purpose, so your 1st method is definitely the best one 🙂

I ran your 1st method and although they are aligned but for URL link, the textbox moves to the bottom, is there a way to place it next to the word?

This can be done by solely using HTML or also by including some CSS Styling Elements. The only HTML method can be executed by using the HTML tables and putting your data in different rows, which will automatically align your textboxes. I am uploading the sample code for the first two fields. You can use similar implementation for the rest.

 
 
File Name
 
" readonly>
 
 
 
URL Link
 
" readonly>
 
 

@Daredevil yes! So that it automatically solves the alignment problem To adjust the spacing between the fields and boxes, you can add width via HTML styling. It won’t affect the alignment of your boxes.

text-align

The text-align CSS property sets the horizontal alignment of the inline-level content inside a block element or table-cell box. This means it works like vertical-align but in the horizontal direction.

Try it

Syntax

/* Keyword values */ text-align: start; text-align: end; text-align: left; text-align: right; text-align: center; text-align: justify; text-align: justify-all; text-align: match-parent; /* Character-based alignment in a table column */ text-align: "."; text-align: "." center; /* Block alignment values (Non-standard syntax) */ text-align: -moz-center; text-align: -webkit-center; /* Global values */ text-align: inherit; text-align: initial; text-align: revert; text-align: revert-layer; text-align: unset; 

The text-align property is specified in one of the following ways:

• Using the keyword values start , end , left , right , center , justify , justify-all , or match-parent .
• Using a value only, in which case the other value defaults to right .
• Using both a keyword value and a value.

Values

The same as left if direction is left-to-right and right if direction is right-to-left.

The same as right if direction is left-to-right and left if direction is right-to-left.

The inline contents are aligned to the left edge of the line box.

The inline contents are aligned to the right edge of the line box.

The inline contents are centered within the line box.

The inline contents are justified. Text should be spaced to line up its left and right edges to the left and right edges of the line box, except for the last line.

Same as justify , but also forces the last line to be justified.

Similar to inherit , but the values start and end are calculated according to the parent’s direction and are replaced by the appropriate left or right value.

When applied to a table cell, specifies the alignment character around which the cell’s contents will align.

Accessibility concerns

The inconsistent spacing between words created by justified text can be problematic for people with cognitive concerns such as Dyslexia.

Formal definition

Initial value	start , or a nameless value that acts as left if direction is ltr , right if direction is rtl if start is not supported by the browser.
Applies to	block containers
Inherited	yes
Computed value	as specified, except for the match-parent value which is calculated against its parent’s direction value and results in a computed value of either left or right
Animation type	discrete

Formal syntax

text-align =
start |
end |
left |
right |
center |
justify |
match-parent |
justify-all

Examples

Start alignment

HTML

p class="example"> Integer elementum massa at nulla placerat varius. Suspendisse in libero risus, in interdum massa. Vestibulum ac leo vitae metus faucibus gravida ac in neque. Nullam est eros, suscipit sed dictum quis, accumsan a ligula. p> 

CSS
