Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to use css to line up different types of form controls? Different types seem to behave differently.
I have a textbox, dropdownbox and a button along 1 line across the page. I want to make all of them the same height and vertically align them. Here is my code -
<div>
-
<input name="SearchText" type="text" id="tbxSearchText" style="width:50px;font-size:12px;line-height:19px;" />
-
<select name="SearchBy" id="ddlSearchBy" style="width:110px;height:19px;font-size:12px;position:relative;bottom:1px;">
-
<option value="0">Family Name</option>
-
<option value="1">Given Names</option>
-
</select>
-
<input type="submit" name="btnSearch" value="Search" onclick="return checkForm();" id="btnSearch" class="button" style="height:20px;position:relative;line-height:1.1em;"/>
-
</div>

Thanks

'vertical-align' should be working for you. 'height' should work on the text box but won't affect the other input elements since they're part of the browser.
For input text and button you can add height and for select(combobox ) line-height and padding should help to get the same height.
It is not perfect but it looks good enough but the code looks really messy.
To make the textbox and button the same I have to use "height:25p x" and "height:15p x" which is not logical.
Thanks guys - <div>
-
<input name="SearchText" type="text" id="tbxSearchText" style="width:50px;height:15px;line-height:5px;position: relative; top: 50%;" />
-
<select name="SearchBy" id="ddlSearchBy" style="width:110px;line-height:3px;padding:2px;position: relative; top: 50%;">
-
<option value="0">Family Name</option>
-
<option value="1">Given Names</option>
-
</select>
-
<input type="submit" name="btnSearch" value="Search" onclick="return checkForm();" id="btnSearch" class="button" style="height:25px;padding-top:3px;padding-bottom:3px;line-height:6px;position: relative; top: 50%;"/>

Hi,
I know this is one week later, but I'll try to help you out here. It seems you already found a solution, but as you said it looks messy. Maybe I can give it a try. I think you're trying to have a clean row of controls, correct?
Try this: -
<html>
-
<head>
-
<title>Title</title>
-
</head>
-
-
<body>
-
<div>
-
<input type="text" name="SearchText" size="20" />
-
<select name="SearchBy">
-
<option value="0">Family Name</option>
-
<option value="1">Given Names</option>
-
</select>
-
<input type="submit" name="btnSearch" value="Search" onclick="return checkForm();" />
-
</div>
-
</body>
-
</html>
-
You could even have them within a table. This is what I normally do when placing form controls on a page. (Although it basically has the same output, it comes in handy when you have a lot of stuff going on, such as text boxes, drop-downs, buttons, etc.) -
<html>
-
<head>
-
<title>Title</title>
-
</head>
-
-
<body>
-
<table border="0">
-
<tr>
-
<td><input type="text" name="SearchText" size="20" /></td>
-
<td>
-
<select name="SearchBy">
-
<option value="0">Family Name</option>
-
<option value="1">Given Names</option>
-
</select>
-
</td>
-
<td><input type="submit" name="btnSearch" value="Search" onclick="return checkForm();" /></td>
-
</tr>
-
</table>
-
</body>
-
</html>

John,
Thanks for your reply.
I have moved on to another part of my project now. I am glad to have received your suggestions though because I will come back to it later. Happy to have a better alternative to my messy code.
First, never use tables for layout.
Second, how does that work without the form element?

I need to loop through a form's controls collection and delete some
