CSS How to change input font-size










0















The font-size of the input tag wont increase. I know it's following the browser/os set rules, but shouldn't it be able to be overridden?






<style>
input[type="search"]

font-size:50px;

</style>
<form class="search-box" action="https://www.google.com/search">
<input type="search" name="q" placeholder=" welcome back" value="" autocomplete="off" autofocus>
</form>

  • According to the console in your screenshot, it is rendering at 50px. I assume that the same goes if you were to select .bookmarks? What OS are you using? I'm thinking that this is because IOS doesn't allow styling on certain elements. What happens if you use a standard "text" instead of "search"?

  • @Harmonic It does work with 'text' just not search. MacOS

  • @Robby, Ok then the issue is almost certainly because of MacOS. Please either just use a text input, or check out my below answer that might solve the issue for you if you wish to keep the search type

Apple does apple stuff.

input[type=search]
-moz-appearance: none;/* older firefox */
-webkit-appearance: none; /* safari, chrome, edge and ie mobile */
appearance: none; /* rest */

      Add a class to the input like:






      <style type="text/css">
      .search
      font-size:50px;

      <form class="search-box" action="https://www.google.com/search">
      <input class="search" type="search" name="q" placeholder=" welcome back" value="" autocomplete="off" autofocus>
