CSS: Submit button looks smaller than input and textarea (solved)

input, textarea, .button_style { 
box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
}

When your <button> or <input type=”submit”> looks smaller than the input fields or textarea, just use the code I used above this text and see the results: the submit/button looks the same size as the other form fields.

PHP + MySQL + jQuery = fuel-prices.eu

I developed fuel-prices.eu as a side project using data from the Weekly Oil Bulletin provided every week(or almost) by the European Commission. PHP and MySQL helped me with the back site work and chart.js helped me a lot with the chart and data representation of the Diesel and Euro-Super 95 data flows.

The data range is from 2015 inclusive to our present week.

I also have in plan to add to the database all of the data beginning from 2009, that means a lot of PHPmyAdmin work for me in the next future.

For more informations about this project you can contact me.

Display as you type input value in div and input type populate with the same text with jQuery

Some situations need a special way of thinking regarding functionality and automation.

This little script sends the text typed in a form/input type to a div and also to another input type so that you can use in many ways the final result – the POST or GET variable created. Also the fist input type works with its defined name.

Real time display input value in div with jQuery

I used this simple trick to display the name of a person after he sends the form data via Ajax and I needed a different response(not from Ajax), so, I set the response message to display:none via css and get the name or other informations in real time… when the form is submitted… the div becomes visible and shows the result… like Thank you {Name} for sending us etc. …

$('#name_x').keyup(function () {
  $('#get_name').text($(this).val());
});

<pre class="wp-block-code"><code>&lt;form&gt;
<form<input type="text" name="name" id="name_x" size="44" 
placeholder="Type here to see real time result in div..." style="padding:12px;border-radius:4px;border:1px solid grey" >
<br><br>
<div id="get_name"></div>
</form>
