Question

The following css:

#contactform {
    width: 400px;
    height: 215px;
}

.webform {
}

.webform input .name {
    width: 50px;
}

.webform input .email {
    width: 70px;
}

.webform input .comments {
    width: 200px;
}

when used in html as

    <div id="contactform">
        <div class="webform">
            <input class="name" name="Name" type="text" id="senderName" placeholder="Enter your name here">
            <input class="email" name="Email" type="text" id="senderEmail" placeholder="Enter a valid email adress here">
            <br>
            <input class="comments" name="Comments" type="text" id="senderComments" placeholder="Comments...">
        </div>
    </div>

produces all three input field of the same width (50px = that is, the width of the webform input). I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Help?

Answer 1

your classes are on your inputs, not on child elements of the inputs. so change input .name, etc., to input.name or just .name, repeat for all three. 🙂
