Re: [WSG] form hidden field ?
csslist said:
thanks guys :)
I actually cheated and just took it out and put it elsewhere...
I couldnt take the Block display off because then it screws up form.
good catch though Joshua :)
Another fix for CSS2.1 compliant browsers (i.e. not IE):
input[type=hidden] {
display:none;
}
or
input[type=hidden]
{
position:absolute;
left: -px;
}
kind regards

Re: [WSG] form hidden field ?
G'day
I have a hidden field in a css styled form and when you view the page it's
shown as a line in firefox, any ideas?
In your css:
input,textarea {
color: #ff;
background-color: #58829A;
border: 1px solid #27455f;
display: block;
etc
I'd say this is why you see the line - your hidden input will be
given display:block, with that border.
Removing display:block should fix it.
Regards

Re: [WSG] form hidden field ?
Ahh, beautiful. This site serves a dual purpose! To Joe Taylor's earlier remark that I would be concerned about a bug only showing up in Firefox, I believe that hiding something from Firefox is not the way to go, but rather, make it right in Firefox and then worry about the others. -- observe this site. Clearly, Firefox is not infallible -- or, in the case that its rendering here falls within recommendations, it is at very least illogical and counter-intuitive. I note that Opera and Konqueror (Safari-ish) render this page quite sensibly, properly hiding the element. Of course, we don't need to revert to hacks to resolve this, but your (seemingly) blind faith in Firefox's correctness is discomforting. Dave, Firefox is rendering the border you've defined on the input selector. Use inline CSS of border:0; or give it a class/ID (as you have the other form elements) and add a rule to your stylesheet to stop this from appearing.

stop this from appearing.
I remember this bug from Mozilla a long time ago. I did this:
input[type=hidden]
{
display: none !important; // or whatever rules you need to override
}
