I'm using Bootstrap for my JSP
page.
I want to use <fieldset>
and <legend>
for my form. This is my code.
<fieldset class="scheduler-border">
<legend class="scheduler-border">Start Time</legend>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label input-label" for="startTime">Start :</label>
<div class="controls bootstrap-timepicker">
<input type="text" class="datetime" id="startTime" name="startTime" placeholder="Start Time" />
<i class="icon-time"></i>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
CSS is
fieldset.scheduler-border {
border: 1px groove #ddd !important;
padding: 0 1.4em 1.4em 1.4em !important;
margin: 0 0 1.5em 0 !important;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 0px #000;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 0px #000;
}
legend.scheduler-border {
font-size: 1.2em !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
text-align: left !important;
}
I am getting output like this
I want output in the following way
I tried adding
border:none;
width:100px;
to legend.scheduler-border
in CSS. And I'm getting the expected output. But the problem is I would like to add another <fieldset>
for another fields. That time the width of text in legend is a problem as it is lengthier than than 100px
.
So what shall I do to get output like I have mentioned? (Without striking the legend text)
That's because Bootstrap by default sets the width of the legend
element to 100%. You can fix this by changing your legend.scheduler-border
to also use:
legend.scheduler-border {
width:inherit; /* Or auto */
padding:0 10px; /* To give a bit of padding on the left and right */
border-bottom:none;
}
You'll also need to ensure your custom stylesheet is being added after Bootstrap to prevent Bootstrap overriding your styling - although your styles here should have higher specificity.
You may also want to add margin-bottom:0;
to it as well to reduce the gap between the legend and the divider.
