CSS styling

Hello , i would like to know how i can apply my own styles for the entire form ( not just for the validation errors ) and the error messages that apperar after server-side validation . Or maybe some pointer to where i can read about this . Allso ... an unrelated question witch i don't think it's so important as to start another thread : I get an error in my form if i do not define this element :
{
"TYPE"=>"image",
"ID"=>"image_subscribe",
"SRC"=>"http://www.phpclasses.org/graphics/add.gif",
"ALT"=>"Submit subscription",
"STYLE"=>"border-width: 0px;" }
Is it mandatory ? Thanks

You can use CLASS and STYLE parameters in the AddInput call to specify the styles that the inputs will use render when they are not invalid. You can also use LabelCLASS and LabelSTYLE to define the style of labels.

I hope I can bring this up in an old thread like this.

I am trying to remove the borders from the labels. I have tried both LabelCLASS and LabelSTYLE, but I must be doing something wrong. My code is as follows:


$form->AddInput(array(
"TYPE"=>"select",
"NAME"=>"cust_code",
"ID"=>"cust_code",
"VALUE"=>25,
"OPTIONS"=>$customers,
"LABEL"=>"<u>C</u>lient",
"LabelCLASS"=>"label",
"LabelSTYLE"=>"border: 0px;",
"TABINDEX"=>1,
"ACCESSKEY"=>"C"
));
and in my CSS script:


.label [
border: 0px;
}

I have a link to the style sheet containing the above script in both the php script which has the AddInput and in the template.

There is still a box around my label. How should I be doing this?

Regards,

Geoff.

Can you upload a minimal example script that demonstrates the problem to see if I can reproduce it?

This is php code in the "php" sub-directory:

I hope this all makes sense to you,

Thanks

The problem is that there is no CSS property named "border". I think you meant "border-width". Other than that, the CSS style definition in styles.css should start with { , not [ as you have.

Apologies for not seeing the syntax errors. However I still can't seem to remove the border. I tried using the

"LabelSTYLE"=>"border-style:solid; border-width: 0px;",

and there was no change in the border.

When I use
"LabelCLASS"=>"label",

with a css style of

.label {
border-style:solid;
border-width: 0px;
}


that doesn't do it either.

I have also tried putting the border the same color as the background as I see that, when testing border in W3School, it doesn't like 0px as a width.

I used the following:
"LabelCLASS"=>"label",
with CSS
.label {
border-style:solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color:#c0c0c0;
}

or

"LabelSTYLE"=>"border-style:solid; border-width: 1px; border-color:#c0c0c0;",
and neither of these seemed to change the color of the border.

Regards,

Geoff.

also tried

.label {
border-style:none;
}

and


"LabelCLASS"=>"label",

also



"LabelSTYLE"=>"border-style:none;",

All didn't work.

I tried it here and do not see any borders in the label of that input.

Keep in mind that label is the text that appears on the side of the input, in this class it is "Client" underscoring the letter C.
