ramakrishna Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY> <form method=post action="/cgi-bin/vform" align="center"> <center> <input type="text" name="text" style="background-color: tan; color:green;"> <input type=submit value="Submit"> </form> </center> </BODY> </HTML> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/111458-html-form-text-field/#findComment-572131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyb785 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Do you mean to center the tex field itself? or the text inside the field? If its the text field, then look above this post. If it's the text itself, add text-align:center; to the style paramaters in the input field.

TheFilmGod Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY> <form method=post action="/cgi-bin/vform" align="center"> <center> <input type="text" name="text" style="background-color: tan; color:green;"> <input type=submit value="Submit"> </form> </center> </BODY> </HTML> This will not validate. The <center> tag's aren't placed in correct order. Futhermore, <center> is deprecated. Use CSS, margin: 0 auto; to achieve the same result. If you want to center text: text-align: center; If you want to center the whole text box margin: 0 auto; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/111458-html-form-text-field/#findComment-572601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
