On tumblr how do they use manage to get the input to flow backwards from where the cursor is in the box - on the final input box for URL. Javascript html css web-development input link|improve this question asked Nov 3 '10 at 0:19Ric133110 70% accept rate.

You can use CSS: input. FancyText { background: url(something) no-repeat; border: none; text-align: right; } You can see Tumblr's CSS using Firebug.

Yes, just do like this: input { padding: 10px; font-size: 26px; } and it will make the input elements "fatter".

As SLaks suggested, you can use CSS to control the appearance of the input text boxes. For example, you could use firebug to discover that the CSS tumblr uses looks like this: background-color:#F9F8E4; /* when in focus */ background:url("/images/input_bg. Png") repeat-x scroll left top #F7FCFF; border:1px solid #97B5D2; color:#25313C; font-family:Georgia,Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size:28px; /* This probably makes it "fat" as you want */ width:480px; font:13px 'Lucida Grande',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; margin:0; outline:0 none; padding:7px; These are the active styles (which are spread across several different rules).

Additionally, the comments are mine. Try setting the font-size property to make the input area "fat" Try setting the text-align:right property to make the input "flow to the right" as in the URL field.

Input. Fat { text-align: right; font-size: 28px; }.

Incorrect spelling and no semi colons - please fix or I'm sure you'll be downvoted. – alex Nov 3 '10 at 0:30 Grammar nazi! No need to be harsh.

The idea counts. – Kugel Nov 3 '10 at 10:59 1 Except it's not grammar and text, it's syntax and code. – Manur Nov 3 '10 at 11:16 Sorry, wasn't meant to be harsh.

That's why I didn't downvote. But grammar and syntax are two different things. You can generally infer the meaning from bad grammar, but a computer can't do much with misspelled syntax.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
