How to Fix Input Text Alignment in HTML Forms

When working on web design, one of the common issues developers face is ensuring that input text is positioned correctly within form fields. This problem usually arises when it comes to the alignment of text within input fields, making them stick to the bottom. In this guide, we'll look at a specific issue where the email input text in a form does not align as desired, and we'll provide a clear solution to fix it.

The Problem: Misaligned Input Text

Imagine you’re cloning a website and you’ve noticed that in the “enter email” input, the text appears misaligned. Specifically, it clings to the bottom of the input field, instead of residing in the middle and aligned to the left where it belongs. This can create a less aesthetically pleasing user experience and can impact the overall feel of your website.

The Solution: Adjusting the CSS

To fix this alignment issue, we can make some adjustments to the CSS that controls the appearance of the input field. Below are the steps to achieve proper text alignment:

Step 1: Modify Height and Line Height

The first step in ensuring that the text stays centered is to adjust the height and line height of the input field. This allows you to control how much space is allocated for the text. Here is the CSS code to include:

Step 2: Update the HTML Input Tag

Next, make sure your input element calls the CSS class you just created. Update your HTML input tag like this:

Explanation of the CSS Properties

Height: This determines the total height of your input field. In this case, we set it to 30px, which means the input field will be consistently measured.

Line-height: This property controls the vertical alignment of the text within the input field. Setting it to the same value as height helps to ensure that the text is centered vertically.

Padding: Padding allows for extra space inside the field, providing breathing room around the text. The value 2px 8px means 2px top and bottom and 8px left and right, ensuring the text doesn't touch the edges of the input box.

Summary

By following the above steps, you can easily adjust the appearance of your input text and ensure it's correctly aligned. This not only improves the visual appeal of your forms but also enhances user experience on your website.

Incorporating these CSS adjustments into your project can help you maintain consistency and professionalism in your web design. Happy coding!
