Experimenting with CSS3, I created a big style registration form with rounded borders and shadow effects. The only image used is not the button, but the pen that serves as a background image for the form itself.
Click on the image to see the demo of the page:
The CSS code has a lot of CSS3 elements and this form will only work in browsers that have support for CSS3 (which IE of course has not):
form.registration{
width:600px;
float:left;
color:#818181;
background: #f1f1f1 url(pen.png) no-repeat top right;
border: 2px solid #ccc;
padding:10px;
font-family: Georgia;
font-size: 14px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
}
The form will have rounded borders and a box shadow which looks very intriguing by using rgba values. Next, we define how the fieldset should be positioned:
form.registration fieldset{
border-top:1px solid #ccc;
border-left:0;
border-bottom:0;
border-right:0;
padding:6px;
margin:0px 30px 0px 0px;
}
The legend will give a name to the fieldset and we want it to have a less intense color:
form.registration legend{
text-align:left;
color:#ccc;
font-size:18px;
padding:0px 4px 0px 4px;
margin-left:20px;
}
Now, let’s define the rest of the form:
form.registration label{
font-size: 32px;
width:200px;
float: left;
text-align: right;
color:#999;
clear:left;
margin:4px 4px 0px 0px;
padding:0px;
}
form.registration input{
font-family: Georgia;
font-size: 28px;
float:left;
width:300px;
border:1px solid #cccccc;
margin:2px 0px 2px 2px;
color:#00abdf;
height:32px;
padding:3px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
}
form.registration input:focus, form.registration select:focus{
background-color:#E0E6FF;
}
form.registration select{
font-family: Georgia;
font-size: 28px;
float:left;
border:1px solid #cccccc;
margin:2px 0px 2px 2px;
color:#00abdf;
height:40px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
}
And now, let’t define some style for the CSS3 button:
.button, .button:visited{
float:right;
text-shadow: 0 -1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
cursor: pointer;
padding: 5px 10px 5px 5px;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 32px;
padding: 10px 15px;
background-color: #00abdf;
display: inline-block;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
.button:hover{
background-color: #777;
}
The html code looks as follows:
<form> <fieldset> <legend>About you</legend> <label>First name</label> <input type="text" maxlength="100" value=""/> <label>Last name</label> <input type="text" maxlength="100" value=""/> <label>Birthdate</label> <select> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> </select> <select> <option value="1">January</option> <option value="2">February</option> </select> <select> <option value="2009">2009</option> <option value="2008">2008</option> </select> </fieldset> <fieldset> <legend>Account details</legend> <label>E-Mail</label> <input type="text" maxlength="120" value=""/> <label>Password</label> <input type="password" maxlength="20"/> </fieldset> <fieldset> <a>Register</a> </fieldset> </form>
Enjoy!
