Forms & buttons

Consistent reset styles for default HTML form elements and buttons.

Examples (anchor)

The forms and buttons expect the existence of basic reset styles for font styling and typography properties. The typography style module provides this but the styles should work with any reset/normalize document used.

Forms (anchor)

Text Email Telephone URL Text area

Color select

Range

Select list Option group Datalist Search Numbers Password

Time Week Month Date Date and time local

Buttons (anchor)

File upload

Using the module (anchor)

To use the module load the StyleMods scss directory as follows (changing the path to suit the source files location as required) then include the Sass mixin anywhere below.

custom.scss

@use "stylemods/scss" as *;
@include forms-buttons-css;

Source code (anchor)

See customizing for information about using the Sass and CSS variables in the source code to customize the styles, and Sass functionality (on the using StyleMods page) for other ways to use the variables to create custom styles.
