Interactive Form Design with HTML & CSS
This project demonstrates how to create a sleek and interactive form design using HTML and CSS. We’ll implement floating labels and focus effects to make the form more user-friendly and visually appealing.
Step-by-Step Code:
1. HTML Code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Interactive Form</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<form>
<div class="form-control">
<input type="text" id="name" required>
<label for="name">Name</label>
</div>
<div class="form-control">
<input type="email" id="email" required>
<label for="email">Email</label>
</div>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
2. CSS Code
form {
width: 100%;
max-width: 400px;
margin: 20px auto;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #fff;
border-radius: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
.form-control {
position: relative;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
input[type="text"],
input[type="email"] {
width: 100%;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 5px;
outline: none;
transition: border-color 0.3s;
}
input:focus {
border-color: #4CAF50;
}
label {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
color: #777;
transition: 0.3s;
pointer-events: none;
}
input:focus + label,
input:valid + label {
top: -15px;
left: 10px;
font-size: 12px;
color: #4CAF50;
}
button[type="submit"] {
width: 100%;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #4CAF50;
color: white;
border: none;
border-radius: 5px;
font-size: 16px;
cursor: pointer;
transition: background-color 0.3s;
}
button[type="submit"]:hover {
background-color: #45a049;
}
Explanation:
Let’s walk through how the form works:
- HTML: We’ve set up a simple form with two input fields (Name and Email). Each input is wrapped inside a
divwith the classform-controlto manage the layout. - CSS: Floating labels and transitions are created using the
:focusand:validpseudo-classes. When a user clicks into a field or enters valid input, the label moves up, giving a clean and interactive look. - The submit button uses a hover effect to change the background color when the user hovers over it.
