Question

I’ve read the documentation about forms and there is nothing saying about how to make input texts larger. Larger I mean, for example, as the Grooveshark’s search box was before, with bigger typography and dimensions:

I’ve read the typography but it talks about headers, lists, etc. Probably there is a way to apply this to the input text, but I am really new to Foundation and I do not know the right way to do that. I saw also that, for buttons, you can control how large they are using the respective classes, “large”, “medium”, “small”, and “tiny”, but what if I want to make my input text as large as the button?

So far, I have a basic input form as following:

<form> 
  <div class="row">
    <div class="ten mobile-three columns">
      <input type="text" placeholder="Type here what you want" />
    </div>
    <div class="two mobile-one columns">
      <a class="button expand postfix">Search</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

Thanks.

There is no correct way as per Foundation’s UI toolset. You will have to apply your own CSS to application.css in order to achieve this.

For example:

input[type=text] {
    font-size: 24px;
}

Note that this works only in this particular example, you would need to add some #id to the search input element in order not to set this style to all input texts.
