How to create a box around around controls in webprgramming
0
I have a few controls that I am attempting to encapsulate on my webpage. I have tried a few different methods on encapsulating my controls and they have not succeeded. I tried using a div and this did not work too well and I have also tried this post:
Create a group box around certain controls on a web form using CSS
What is happening is that a box is being created but it is at the top of my webpage instead of around the controls.
I would like to create a grey box similar to the ones found on this webpage:
https://img.labnol.org/di/trigger1.png
Below, I am attaching a copy of the CSS and HTML code that I am using in order to create my form. The form is a simple file upload form that I tweaked from an example. I am using this on my own, personal website.
Here is the HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<script>

/* Video Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EraNFJiY0Eg */
function _(el){
return document.getElementById(el);
}
function uploadFile(){
var file = _("file1").files[0];
// alert(file.name+" | "+file.size+" | "+file.type);
var formdata = new FormData();
formdata.append("file1", file);
var ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
ajax.upload.addEventListener("progress", progressHandler, false);
ajax.addEventListener("load", completeHandler, false);
ajax.addEventListener("error", errorHandler, false);
ajax.addEventListener("abort", abortHandler, false);
ajax.open("POST", "file_upload_parser.php");
ajax.send(formdata);
}
function progressHandler(event){
//_("loaded_n_total").innerHTML = "Uploaded "+event.loaded+" bytes of "+event.total;
var percent = (event.loaded / event.total) * 100;
_("progressBar").value = Math.round(percent);
_("status").innerHTML = Math.round(percent)+"% uploaded... please wait";
}
function completeHandler(event){
_("status").innerHTML = event.target.responseText;
_("progressBar").value = 0;
document.getElementById('p1').innerHTML = "Drag your file here or click in this area.";
}
function errorHandler(event){
_("status").innerHTML = "Upload Failed";
}
function abortHandler(event){
_("status").innerHTML = "Upload Aborted";
}
function changeText()
{
document.getElementById('p1').innerHTML = "1 file selected";
}
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="test.css">

<form id="upload_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">

Coming back to the HTML, the fieldset tags are placed around the controls that I am attempting to encapsulate. I left them there so that anyone can see the main issue that I am running into.
I apologize but I am very new to web programming. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Note: how the box is created doesn't really matter to me. I would expect that the box is created in HTML and then I can style it using CSS.

The reason why your form appears outside the box is because it usesposition: absolute. See developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/position

The structure of your HTML is fine, but the position: absolute properties in your CSS are clashing with the fieldset.
Since <fieldset> is wrapping all your controls, I would suggeset giving it a fixed width and height and position your child elements based on that, i.e. use width: 100% for your children and give all of them the same margin so they align nicely. Also make sure you either edit your #progressBar style in the markup.
Here's a snippet with the changes I just mentioned:
body {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0);
}
fieldset {
width: 508px;
height: 270px;
/* fixed width and height*/
margin: 13vh auto;
}
#p1 {
border: 4px dashed #0D0D0D;
/* modified the actual text box instead of the entire form */
width: 508px;
height: 140px;
line-height: 140px;
margin-top: 0px;
}
form p {
text-align: center;
color: #0D0D0D;
font-family: Arial;
}
h2 {
text-align: center;
}
form input[type="file"] {
position: absolute;
margin: 0;
outline: none;
width: 508px;
height: 140px;
margin: 22px 4px;
opacity: 1;
background-color: orange;
/* Last two properties are a visual representation. Delete background-color and set opacity to 0 */
}
form input[type="button"] {
margin: 0;
color: #fff;
background: #16a085;
border: none;
width: 100%;
/* width relative to parent fieldset */
height: 35px;
margin-top: -20px;
border-radius: 4px;
border-bottom: 4px solid #117A60;
transition: all .2s ease;
outline: none;
}
form input[type="button"]:hover {
background: #149174;
color: #0C5645;
}
form input[type="button"]:active {
border: 0;
}
form progressBar {

Awesome! That is it! Thank you so much. So basically, it was the CSS? As a side note, how can you add the run snippet option to the code? Is this something stack exchange automatically does now?
– philm
Nov 20 at 22:40
So it looks like that the changes broke the function of selecting a file to upload
– philm
Nov 20 at 23:08
Ok so it looks like that the input file object is moved to above the dotted box
– philm
Nov 20 at 23:39
So I appreciate the attempt but, this doesnt really help. The element that enables the uploading is now above my dotted box. I have been playing around for awhile now to try to re center the form upload in the box but it isn't working out

The structure of your HTML is fine, but the position: absolute properties in your CSS are clashing with the fieldset.
Since <fieldset> is wrapping all your controls, I would suggeset giving it a fixed width and height and position your child elements based on that, i.e. use width: 100% for your children and give all of them the same margin so they align nicely. Also make sure you either edit your #progressBar style in the markup.
Here's a snippet with the changes I just mentioned:
body {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0);
}
fieldset {
width: 508px;
height: 270px;
/* fixed width and height*/
margin: 13vh auto;
}
#p1 {
border: 4px dashed #0D0D0D;
/* modified the actual text box instead of the entire form */
width: 508px;
height: 140px;
line-height: 140px;
margin-top: 0px;
}
form p {
text-align: center;
color: #0D0D0D;
font-family: Arial;
}
h2 {
text-align: center;
}
form input[type="file"] {
position: absolute;
margin: 0;
outline: none;
width: 508px;
height: 140px;
margin: 22px 4px;
opacity: 1;
background-color: orange;
/* Last two properties are a visual representation. Delete background-color and set opacity to 0 */
}
form input[type="button"] {
margin: 0;
color: #fff;
background: #16a085;
border: none;
width: 100%;
/* width relative to parent fieldset */
height: 35px;
margin-top: -20px;
border-radius: 4px;
border-bottom: 4px solid #117A60;
transition: all .2s ease;
outline: none;
}
form input[type="button"]:hover {
background: #149174;
color: #0C5645;

form input[type="button"]:active {
border: 0;
}
form progressBar {

Awesome! That is it! Thank you so much. So basically, it was the CSS? As a side note, how can you add the run snippet option to the code? Is this something stack exchange automatically does now?

Nov 20 at 22:40
So it looks like that the changes broke the function of selecting a file to upload
– philm
Nov 20 at 23:08
Ok so it looks like that the input file object is moved to above the dotted box
– philm
Nov 20 at 23:39
So I appreciate the attempt but, this doesnt really help. The element that enables the uploading is now above my dotted box. I have been playing around for awhile now to try to re center the form upload in the box but it isn't working out

Awesome! That is it! Thank you so much. So basically, it was the CSS? As a side note, how can you add the run snippet option to the code? Is this something stack exchange automatically does now?

So it looks like that the changes broke the function of selecting a file to upload

Ok so it looks like that the input file object is moved to above the dotted box

Nov 20 at 23:39
So I appreciate the attempt but, this doesnt really help. The element that enables the uploading is now above my dotted box. I have been playing around for awhile now to try to re center the form upload in the box but it isn't working out

You're, right, I completely missed that! I updatedfieldsetandform input[type="file"]in the CSS. It should work now.

The reason why your form appears outside the box is because it uses
position: absolute. See developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/position– Alex K
